Meghan McCain, author of Dirty Sexy Politics, will speak at the kickoff for MTLambda’s SpringOut Week at 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 6, in Room 221 of the MTSU Learning Resources Center. This event is free and open to the public.

McCain, the daughter of U.S. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.), is slated to discuss the incivility of political discourse in America, including the discourse surrounding gay rights issues. After a brief address, McCain will open the floor for questions.

A 2007 graduate of Columbia University, McCain worked on her father’s 2008 bid for the American presidency. From that experience, she created mccainblogette.com, which offered readers an insider’s view of life on the campaign trail.

Dirty Sexy Politics, a 2010 memoir of the campaign, was highly critical of the Republican Party, the conservative movement and her father’s running mate, Sarah Palin. Today, McCain writes a column for thedailybeast.com.

McCain’s appearance at MTSU is sponsored by Scholars Week and by MTLambda, a student organization which strives to support and raise awareness about the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

For more information, contact MTLambda President Brandon Farrar at president@mtlambda.org.

What trash, we have right in our home town. MTLambda supports moral depravity right here in our midst. Is this what education does. I want no part of it. Sick, Sick, Sick.

So don't go, it is that simple. No one forces you to participate.

Actually Sprtman, I think it's what religion does. I've been in this area for 15 years and I've never seen so many gay people in my life. This also happens to be one of the most religious areas in the country...the bible belt. Hmmm...maybe it's because they were sheltered growing up...Maybe they were molested in church...Or maybe it's just that good old dang country music!
