A sociology professor with the Pennsylvania State University has instructed straight students – both male and female – to watch “gay or lesbian porn” to learn if they also can be bisexual.
According to Fox News, Professor Sam Richards told students in SOC 119 that watching porn could make them realize that they are attracted to members of the same sex. The December 6 lecture was about “A Conversation on Trans Issues”.
“If you’re straight, watch gay or lesbian porn and see how quickly you feel aroused”, Richards reportedly said. “And how you can’t control that. You’ll realize that, ‘Oh, d—, I could be sexualized by people who are like me’”.
He then reportedly said the everyone is “at some level non-binary” and “easily bisexual”. He also addressed, specifically, the straight and male students about watching porn.
“Watch gay porn. See if you feel that feeling. If you feel that feeling, look in a mirror, and say huh, maybe I’m just feeling some things that I’m just afraid to release”, he reportedly said. “And maybe you release that and maybe you’d be surprised that maybe you actually are fine being more bisexual”.
The lecture was uploaded to the class YouTube and later been removed.
Penn State reportedly defended the professor’s comment because of the importance of “academic freedom”.
“Professor Richards purposefully teaches in a manner designed to promote discussion across a spectrum of opinions. His class is not mandatory but is a popular elective that students choose to join”, Penn State told Fox News Digital. “Dr. Richards and his course colleagues take time to discuss opinions from many perspectives — from liberal to conservative—and delve into topics from different viewpoints to create conversation, challenge beliefs and encourage students to explore uncomfortable and complex topics”.
Every semester, 775 students register for SOC 119, according to the university website. It is “the largest race and ethnic relations course in the country”.
“In that room they have the opportunity to re-examine the world and challenge what they believe to be their place in it from a new perspective”, the website reads. “His class is praised by students and faculty from all sides of the political spectrum”.

“Sick. Imagine spending tens of thousands of dollars (and in many cases your taxpayer dollars) for an education like this”.
People also commented on Pamela Geller’s tweet. Here are some of the selected comments:
Steve Jones: $60,000 in tuition per year to hear this?
Rebecca Welland: This professor needs to be sacked.
Tom: What was his reasoning that watching would lead to that conclusion? I can see how some girls might imagined that having sex with another girls might be fun. Some practice that with their girlfriends to see if finger stimulation is pleasurable.
Ivan: At a university level? Yeah I don’t see any problems with that. What is the issue? You think that a 20yo straight man will suddenly turn gay watching 5 minutes of porn?
Marc: The male students will be watching lesbian porn and then declare themselves as trans lesbian women.
Brad: Groomer 101: We need to track this man to see if he has used this technique on underage boys.
Gabriel: Not advised, some things cannot be unseen. Unless you are “Law enforcement” dealing with “classified documents” and your last name is Biden.
Rita: They are fuc**ng our children up at every turn.
Richard Griffing: People actually are dumb enough to pay tens of thousands of dollars to attend classes such as this. To add insult to injury, anyone can find dozens of individuals posting similar classes for free on You Tube.
