according to the Knoxville paper-

http://www.knoxnews.com/news/2013/mar/21/state-funding-pulled-from-ut-sex-week/

State Rep. Bill Dunn, R-Knoxville, had cited some of Sex Week’s more salacious workshop topics — “getting laid,” “sex positivity,” and “queer as a bug,” — in a House floor speech Monday night. He said legislators should step in to protect Christians from such offensive behaviors from campus organizations.

Other events include free HIV testing, a workshop on preventing sexual assault, discussions on abstinence and “concepts of virginity,” tips on talking to your parents and your doctors about sex and several panels on faith and sexuality, some backed by campus religious organizations such as Campus Crusade for Christ.

State Sen. Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, suggested that the Senate Education Committee should reconsider its approval of UT’s budget for the coming year.

Both Campfield’s and Dunn’s comments came in response to a recent Fox News report on Sex Week, which is being organized by Sexual Empowerment and Awareness at Tennessee.
