T. Greg Doucette is TGD if i'm not mistaken.

It'd be interesting to see how he responds to the criticism of this sort of thing.

isn't Gunzz leading the effort for this?

10/20/2006 6:45:46 PM

This is not where student funding needs to go

10/20/2006 6:54:20 PM

i could think of a lot worse things my student fees have been spent on

10/20/2006 7:01:20 PM

No need to continue the trend though

10/20/2006 7:01:41 PM

okay

i could think of a lot worse far more pointless things my student fees have been spent on

10/20/2006 7:02:49 PM

nothing says this would have to be funded from student fees. i think this is a good idea.

10/20/2006 7:35:17 PM

Where else do you think funding will come from?

10/20/2006 7:36:28 PM

^^the proposition is that over half of it will be paid for by student fees

10/20/2006 7:39:34 PM

hell no, im glad i wont be here to see this shit if it does happen

how do you compare being a minority of any sort to being a faggot

10/20/2006 7:46:25 PM

This sounds pretty gay

But beyond that, I don't think we need to spend more public funding with programs to compartmentalize us in the name of "diversity"

This does nothing but further segment the student population.

10/20/2006 7:53:53 PM

So they "strongly encourage" establishing this. Any other word on whether or not the university would actually do this or would they just tell people to go to Berkeley instead?

That's really, really sad.

I agree completely. I think it's a bad use of public money. I'm not saying they haven't wasted money on things that were dumber--I'm just saying this is dumb as well.

I am not against an LGBT Center per se. Like bgmims, in general, my concern is that these type of centers mostly help to further balkanization of the student body and ultimately society.

10/20/2006 8:50:07 PM

T. Greg Douchette har har har... i am both original and mature.

10/20/2006 8:50:42 PM

this is fucking ridiculous

if the LGBT want to conduct this on their own, then fine. but to use student funds for this nonsense?

have a car wash, do a bake sale, raise money ... student funds do not belong in this.

Quote :

"WHEREAS, LGBT students are 3 times as likely to attempt or commit suicide as non-LGBT students"

welcome to student health .. they have resourses for this

Quote :

"WHEREAS, LGBT students consistently report far greater fear of physical violence than their peers and a greater level of in-class stereotyping or harassment; and, WHEREAS, North Carolina State University was ranked as the 17th least LGBT-friendly school in the country by the Princeton Review; and "

sorry, but this will not prevent hate crimes ... have seminars instead to instruct on how to avoid situations where violence might occur .. this is not new

Quote :

"WHEREAS, Everyone should be free to learn in an environment where they feel comfortable"

Library, coffee shop, friends apartments

Quote :

"WHEREAS, the presence of an LGBT center can greatly improve the educational and social experiences of LGBT students, provide a supportive network that could reduce the risk of suicide in the LGBT community, and create an environment where LGBT students and their allies can congregate safely; now, therefore be it"

there are plenty of clubs, organizations, groups, ect ect .. that safely meet, congregate, socialize and support each other with out using student funds .. this is ridiculous

NUKE'M ALL

10/20/2006 9:01:54 PM

lmao is TGD on the 10 year plan?

10/20/2006 9:33:44 PM

In full agreement, i'm not against a center, but it's a dumb idea. It's another way to compartmentalize, and another waste of funds that should be spent on something that will benefit all students.

That, and it isn't going to help any sort of overall non-acceptance at state, if anything i can see a lot of resentment b/c of the center (not me, just saying).

10/20/2006 9:37:14 PM

IF THE GAYS GET A CENTER, THE JEWS SHOULD GET ONE

10/20/2006 9:43:06 PM

at least a center like this would make it easy for fags to gloryhole in the stalls

10/20/2006 9:45:09 PM

I propose a Celtic Center at State to support my ethnic background. Who's in?

10/20/2006 9:50:13 PM

TKEshultz is my hero.

That's exactly how I feel.

I'm GLAD I won't be around to see this horse shit. I'm sorry but if anyone who would be a member of this group wants to be accepted as "this is how I was born" then funding a support group is not the way to do it -- to me it inherently says something's wrong with the members -- and whether I agree with their choices or not I think if they want to find a group, go find one off campus. There are already enough bullshit student fees without adding to the stack.

10/20/2006 10:22:12 PM

attn unc, we've found some of you

10/20/2006 10:24:06 PM

I love gay people but I think this is a dumb idea. Making a building just for one group of people is not a fair practice and does nothing but single out LGBT people even more, which does not promote acceptance.

10/20/2006 10:24:16 PM

itll be bombed if it gets built

dont do it, dont waste our money

I think its fun when the gay community compares themselves and their situation with African Americans during the civil rights movement...

i'm all about gay people or whatever, but this is a WASTE of student fees.

It seems unecessary to have a center be established on the biases on ones sexual orientation. Especially when academic student fees are meant to further the individuals education, rather than cater to social concerns.

10/21/2006 3:40:35 AM

will we pay for thier strobe light and dj too?




wtf, do we really need student centers? do we really need a african american student center in addition to a minority center? why are you going to waste money on this shit?

10/21/2006 3:56:09 AM

in this day and age, one student center is all that is needed.

I wouldn't be against having 'office' space to base special interest organizations out of. but having separate centers is ridonkulous.

10/21/2006 8:26:00 AM

I don't think we need to have a whole center for this. See reasons above.

10/21/2006 8:46:08 AM

I am going to make a very politically incorrect chit-chat thread about this. Be on the lookout.

10/21/2006 11:31:29 AM

who gives a shit. let them have a center. big fucking deal, so some of our fees go to it. OH NOOOOOOO!!!!! your lives will not change. our fees go to all kinds of shit we all don't agree with or even know about. who fucking cares. its going to happen no matter how homophobic you act(errrr....i mean, how worried about your fees you act)

I fully support the NCSU BGLA, but I really don't see the need for a special center. what will it offer that is not already offered? I used to attend a school with a very active, very visible BGLA and never did they ever propose anything like this. They looked moreso to actually be part of the normal campus environment as a student organization aimed at promoting true awareness.

If they have one, thats fine, but they should probably raise their own money for it, or get donations from community organizations/businesses.

Hah, the first guy I saw listed as a member of that facebook group was on my basketball team in middle school

^^^^ People should be able to speak up any time they feel their fees are not being well spent. Not wise in my opinion to advocate sitting in silence and letting people do whatever they want. Ya know, cause historically that's always been the way to bring forth change/fairness/innovation of any sort....

Nothing to do w/ homophobia at all.

Its a waste of money. A pedestrian bridge across western would be a better investment.

10/21/2006 11:56:14 AM

FAGGITS AT NCSU? DIDN'T THEY APPLY TO UNC? WHAT THE FUCK

I hope this gets built and you assholes get all riled up so that you may be exposed for the pathetic fucks you are.

"Fuckin' right we're intolerant, and we intend to fuckin' keep it that way. Those fags already got UNC!"

hey there's a bunch of kids at State that are into country music. Whether they were born liking country or made the decision, they outnumber the amount of gays at State. AND, because of their musical orientation, they fear for their safety amongst hip-hop, rock, and electronic music fans.


COUNTRY MUSIC CENTER FTW.
