A Sea Of Red

FORT WORTH, Texas — Eight students have signed up for Texas Christian University's designated on-campus housing for gay students and their supporters, in what may be the only such college housing in North Texas.

The DiversCity Q community will open in the fall in a section of the Tom Brown-Pete Wright apartments. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students and allies — heterosexual classmates who support them — will have the chance to live together, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported in a story posted Tuesday on its Web site.

"It's a chance for students to be part of a unique experience," said David Cooper, TCU associate director for residential life.

i bet the building will get all stinky

Maybe it will give new meaning to HORNED frogs

Their allies and supporters I guess this is where Rick Warren will stay when he visits campus.

There was dancing, decorations, adult chaperones, the basics of any high school dance, except this one was different. On February 20th Stevenson High School in Lincolnshire, Il held their first gay dance.

Only place I could find it was some gay straight alliance website, so its a pretty flaming article. But basically, one of the highschools close to where I live back home had a gay only valentines day dance. They promoted it by saying only gay people and our supporters. Can you imagine if the straight straight alliance held a normal people only dance? Besides that, if you want respect, face your opponents, dont just kick them out of your flaming dances

no im more saying its implied by some of the advertising the group did on campus that the normal people couldnt come, it was just for the gays. I have several homosexual friends, and homosexuality is not a disease or handicap or anything like that. Just going off what friends of mine who go to the school had to say about it

I would say normalcy starts at around 15%. Just an arbitrary number that I picked. Are gays above or below that percentage?

What does God say about homosexuality?That is the only opinion that counts.

Ok, thanks for clarifying

So TCU is building a "gay ghetto". Nice.

i prefer "gay quarantine"

You know, its really sad, especially since it is a "Christian" university

The only thing really Christian about the TCU is in the name.

It's affiliated with Disciples of Christ institution, much like Duke is affiliated with Methodists/Quakers. The individual church positions on homosexuality vary from church to church because they are fairly decentralized.

no, he's saying that they say they want to be treated equally but then hold politically agitating events for themselves and then would pitch a fit if the 'other side' did the exact same thing. he's merely pointing out the cognitive dissonance between what they say and what they do. (i.e. you can't have your c...uh, cake, and eat it too)

speaking of Rick Warren, does anybody remember his $7 free book from a few years ago that every LU student ended up with for 'free' yet amazingly had a $7 charge on their student bill for?

Ah... the Worthless Driven Life...

Hmm... maybe I should write a book on Christianity while doing one thing and saying another, become a local or national celebrity, come up with a catchy saying even - which would further spur my popularity among the masses. then upon my popularity fading, or people finding out what i really think, i could always take a job as a president of some small christian college somewhere that might be in financial trouble and would welcome a semi-big name to the campus, where i would further enlarge my bankroll while really doing nothing of benefit for anyone or anything - institutions included. yes, this it seems is the aim of modern chri$tianity as a whole.

maybe that's why God said in revelation to one of the churches that they'd lost their first love....

Please do 1/100th of the things Rick Warren has done before criticizing him. Please raise 1/100th of the money that he has raised and donate it to fighting AIDS in Africa before calling him a hypocrite.

But that's not what being a political Christian is about! It's about your image, not your actions!
