Texas Christian University Scraps Plans for Gay Student Housing

FORT WORTH, Texas  —  Texas Christian University announced today it will not provide on-campus housing for gay students this fall as previously planned.

TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said in a statement that TCU "will maintain its long-standing commitment to the inclusiveness of all people."

The DiversCity Q community was to open this fall in some campus apartments for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students — as well as their heterosexual classmates who support them.

Eight students had signed up so far.

TCU, a private university with about 7,500 undergraduate students, is associated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a community embracing both faith and reason, according to the school's Web site.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

The wisdom of God and the "wisdom" of man are miles and miles apart.  Might as well try to provide on-campus housing for those who believe stealing or bearing false witness is OK since "reason" would tell us that not all people are going to agree on the morality or immorality of stealing or bearing false witness.

Crazy loons.

Mine didn't. I asked when I was on campus years ago.

I'd be interested in knowing why homosexuals would want to attend this university.

Most homosexuals are not so caught up in being homosexual that it controls every aspect of their lives.  Most homosexuals are just plain folks who do not care to wear their sex organ on their sleeve.  It's only the wacked-out radical sex-obsessed one-noters who would shun a college because the institution does not cater to their idea that their abnormal sexuality somehow makes them a special class deserving of special attention.

Didn't God say to Elijah, "Come, let us reason together."?

T'would seem God is more than happy to reach us on our level...

...assuming that person will listen and not--say--interject sexual politics into every nook, cranny, aspect and orifice of life.
