Texas Christian University to Offer Separate Housing for Gay Students

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.

TCU sophomore Shelly Newkirk, who is gay, applied to create the program. She said eight students have committed to live in the apartments.

"Well I've been trying to create a safe space on campus for the queer community," Newkirk said Tuesday in an interview with Dallas-Fort Worth television station KDFW. "We're not creating just like a bubble for ourselves, but creating a space where we can have open dialogue and students can be comfortable."

TCU will also open two Christian-based living groups, another for fine arts and three other themed housing arrangements. It's all part of the university's living-learning communities, designed for students who want to live with others who are like-minded.

Oh my...that's very anti-"diversity".  That must be quite a conundrum for liberals.

I wanna go back to college, put me in the virgin girls dorm. I'll do my best to open them up for further learning experiences.

It sounds like they are opening a 'Bathhouse/AIDS factory right on campus.

They want to be treated just like everyone else by being treated differently.  Makes perfect sense.   :thatsright:

Circular reasoning....or a circle jerk....I can't really tell from 1,500 miles away.
