    and people say it is wrong to point out the homophobia of the republican party...

    If nazicons werent going around and beating gay people within a inch of their lives, there would be no need to have a LGBT center to provide a safe place for students to go.

    Why exactly do straight people need such a facility? Straight people aren't oppressed or subject to violence from LGBT people.

    Erm.. I don't think the facility is for straight people.... They want a facility to promote 'traditional values' i.e. relationships should be between a man and a woman. I.e. facility that discourages homosexuality.

    But straight people will go into those relationships anyway. There's no point for such a center to exist.

    Well, I might be getting this wrong, but after reading the article, I think they want a facility to ADVOCATE that homosexuality is 'not good'. So it's not like they are encouraging straight relationship. But it's more like they will be telling people that homosexuality is bad. (i.e. traditional value)

    Texas is a funny state. It's so tryhard. :slight_smile:

    When they have a hispanic majority, it's gonna be a blue state. That day will be in my lifetime, and it's gonna be hilarious. :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    ^ hooray for my Hispanic Texan friends. And my Hispanic friends in all other areas too.

    You know what else was traditional? Slavery. Guess they should be upholding that "value" too.

    the word 'Tradition' gets thrown around alot, but by its very nature, traditional cannot be defined.

    What texas republicans call tradition, 500 years ago the christian church called radical and sinful. Women having property rights... women being allowed to work outside the home... Women not becoming the property of their husbands at marriage...

    ^all things that was considered 'traditional marriage'.

    about the only concrete tradition for texas republicans is being ignorant assholes.

    I just don't understand. I mean there are definitely Christian clubs at these schools. you know how I know? because it's Texas. This is so stupid of an idea that it defies even schizophrenic logic.

    It'll just be another haven for homophobia to breed, that's all.
