Irish Homosexuals in London

(UK) The University of Essex has been awarded a $160,000 grant to study Irish homosexuals in London. Can you freakin' believe it?
Roisin Ryan-Flood, the sociologist leading the project, says she wants to 'uncover the ways in which contemporary sexual citizenship, migration and LGBT imaginaries of the metropolis are mutually implicated in complex ways'.
Sexual citizenship? What the hell is that? It seems that the whole project is a waste of taxpayer funds and I'm not alone in that thinking.
But the decision to award the university the money has been met with frustration by the Taxpayers' Alliance.

A spokesman for the campaign group said: 'It sounds like it's come straight out of a political correctness joke book. I'm lost for words.'
Me too.
