The objective of this thread seemed to be that the list was to shame universities that pander to the LGBT community.
This isnt about agreeing or disagreeing, it is about you viewing it as pandering to simply not want individuals discriminated based on their sexual orientation(again, the list goes deeper than that, but since this is a gay bashing thread, we will keep it on that subject).
Regardless of if you believe the universities have the right to do it(that isnt the subject of the thread), It still isnt something you should defend in and of itself.
"It still isnt something you should defend in and of itself."
That is YOUR opinion which you are free to have.
Others who diagree with the lgbt lifestyle ALSO are free to have THEIR opinions.
What about schools that "pander" to blacks, like Morgan State, Howard University etc?
It seems on many issue people ONLY want to allow opinions they agree with and cast insults at those who do NOT agree with them.

If you believe people should have the right to discriminate, that is one thing.
This is about actually defending discrimination, do you defend the discrimination itself ????
Morgan and Howard allow students of every single race and nationality to attend. Did you think only black people could attend???? Im asking because I have actually met conservatives who believe that falsehood.

I never got off on that either and most people aren't me. Being sexually explicit in public is just rude behavior, imo. Showing affection in public does in no way declare, 'love'. But it does however, let every one and their brother in on a person's private affair.
Go to college to learn the things that further a career. Go home to learn the things that further a relationship.
However, I guess we now live in a political environment where lives are far more complicated, than they need to be.

My point was that people in general dont view a straight couple kissing or a guy wearing a shirt about a female body part the same way they would view a gay couple doing the same.

Yes. How can you believe people have the right to discriminate and not defend discrimination? Colleges discriminate all the time.

You think holding hands or kissing is sexually explicit behavior? Seriously? Have you never seen an old couple walking down the sidewalk holding hands? Would you sneer at that & find their behavior vulgar? Give me a break.

Its a double standard.
No it's two standards. One standard for straight couples and one standard for gay couples. That's two standards. A double standard would be what I just wrote but twice .
But seriously, I don't see a straight couple and a gay couple analogous. I'd see the latter more analogous to a pedophile couple or an incestuous couple.

I defend the right to have an abortion, i dont defend abortions themselves. It not that hard to understand that you can defend something that you believe is a right, but not the action that results from it.
The same could be said about the legality of alcohol or discrimination on racial grounds.

So then defend the right to discriminate and let people discriminate even though you don't defend discrimination.
You are being dishonest. You are not trying to prevent abortions but you are trying to prevent discrimination.
