Speaking only for myself, I'd take the course to understand the ways in which queer culture, specifically gay male culture, has influenced and continues to drive mainstream popular culture, even when queer society is still considered an underground, "fringe" subculture.
To use your logic, non-Black people shouldn't want to take an African American studies course, and non-White people shouldn't want to take a course on the Roman empire. What's wrong with learning as a means of developing an understanding of a culture other than your own?
