It's a Rainbow World

Harvard establishes chair in gay and lesbian studies | World news | guardian.co.uk

The chair in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender studies introduces a discipline still in its infancy into the heart of the country's academic establishment. Its supporters claim that the move by one of the world's most august universities will send a message to other institutions globally that 'queer studies', as some call it, has finally arrived.


I wonder if I should apply?

For those interested I once edited (and still intend to re-edit a very extensive Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Trans* History site.
