College musical highlights battle between S.C. lawmakers, universities

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: More than 750 people packed into a city auditorium here last week for a sold-out production of "Fun Home," a musical by a New York-based troupe about a woman coming to terms with her closeted gay father's suicide. The crowd rose in a standing ovation before the show even began.
The emotional reaction was part of a worsening political battle between South Carolina's public universities and conservative Republican lawmakers, who argue that campus culture should reflect the socially conservative views of the state.
