James Franco a Student of Queer Cinema

Milk star James Franco, who in between films is enrolled as a graduate student at New York University, is apparently enrolled in a Queer Cimena class offered through the Tisch School of the Arts, according to NYU Local, the school's official blog.

The blog reports that James Edward Franco is enrolled in the course, though according to sources, he missed his first class. Topics lifted from a sample syllabus include the 1997 documentaries You Don't Know Dick: The Courageous Hearts of Transsexual Men and Mom's Apple Pie: The Heart of the Lesbian Mothers' Custody Movement.

Last year, Franco made headlines when he directed a short film based on gay poetry.
