unambiguously gay

[cimorene]

gay coffeehouse skinhead lecturer gave a lecture today on the relationship between gender equality and progressive attitudes on sexuality.

me: you didn't really refer to the article on sexual satisfaction within relationships.
gcsl: no, i--what can i say? i had to give you some reading on the heterosexuals, but--they're boring.

so his name has dropped the "ambiguously" from before the "gay." i suppose he was never all that ambiguous, but one doesn't like to jump to conclusions.

What time are your lectures, and are they open lectures or are you in a small group? I've been following your updates on them with envy interest and they sound curiouser and curiouser. I'm wondering if I could come listen to a few.

åhusets stora seminarierum, måndag och torsdag, 15.00-17.00. but we only have two lectures left so i guess it's too late this semester. monday there's a different guest lecturer and the reading is supposed to be required that time for discussion and then 21.4 gcsl is giving the conclusion. there aren't that many people in the class. and the class is also incredibly resistant to discussion, when the leturers try to draw them out. it's usually quite uneventful but i find the lectures very interesting.

Aw. I keep forgetting that it's that time of the school year again. The classes are almost over! Exams! Ohhelpmegod.

I guess I could try and catch the conclusion though. At least I'd get to see GCSL and maybe get something out of it.

he said something interesting then about how heterosexuality could be made interesting by "queering" it, that is, examining it from the outside as it were as a really rather strange phenomenon. but just enough to tantalise; he said nothing further except that he couldn't find really any literature that did that properly. which is a bummer because i find that topic so interesting that i get all excited about it.

he takes attendance every time, i'm not sure why. but i really can't conceive of anyone saying anything to you about it, let alone kicking you out. but on the third hand (ahahum) i don't really know how this stuff works in finland.

the course is really fascinating--although, i don't know, maybe less so to someone who already knows a lot about nordic society and history--and gcsl is cute (though not the most organised lecturer), so you could always take it next year.
