...further descending into identity politics for small minority groups. Why is the administration so intent on dividing Aggies into "this group, that race, that cause, etc", driving further dissension?!?

What has happened to truly, "we are the Aggies, the Aggies are we!" --- Full Stop.

It's so sad that so many people have been manipulated into thinking that this is okay. Please keep praying for the conversion of our country.

Just pointing out for a group you said Republicans don't care about and at least for the gays you're ok with the rights we got last few years - you sure love to post about us. Nothint else to say here.

Congrats to TAMU, we've come a long way from "Straight Ags Week" of the early 00's. Most of us were in closet back then, but happy to see University is a friendlier place now for what is a larger and more obvious open student body.

Sorry that doesn't work for you. There's still plenty of schools who don't approve of LGBT people, perhaps should have attended BYU, Liberty, etc. The only thing unreasonable is that you expect a public university to not be accepting of this group.

If they were truly just being "accepting" they wouldn't go so over the top to make a show of it, there would simply not be an acknowledgement of it. This smacks more of "fearful" than accepting. God forbid they didn't make a social media post bowing to the LGBTAAIQ+ nazis, there would be hell to pay.

The cult of social justice is not about acceptance, and never has been. It's about compliance.

Our alma mater hasn't always been a great place for women, minorities, gays, etc. They're going to have to try a little harder than many other universities and that means there's going to be some things like this. It's largely symbolic and not sure why it annoys you all so much. The feed is loaded with inconsequential crapMother's Day, people getting their vaccines (gasp, surprised that doesn't deserve its own thread), etc. Don't get so pressed, this post hurts nothing unless you don't think LGBT people should be welcomed at A&M. If that's what you think then just say that. A social media post is not that deep.

If you feel this way why did you go to TAMU. Everybody for the last 50 years has known UT was the progressive school and that Tech and TAMU were the most conservative with a range in between. There has always been options regarding schools known for their unique personas and cultures. TAMU's roots are those of a military training school spiting in the face of the reconstruction era, duh its priority was not to be a "great place for women, minorities, gays." but for those seeking a military or ag/industrial career. I dont think sexual orientation was calculated in the late 19thc when the school was founded. Nor should it be now. No grand conspiracy to discriminate against anyone- just a niche to fill.

Its attitudes like yours to change EVERYTHING not to your liking. The hypocrisy is a giant turn off and damages your movement in the eyes of many.

And you're ignoring that until marriage rights were granted by the court 6 years ago we were actual 2nd class citizens lacking equal standing for taxes, employer benefits, probate, etc.

I don't have a victim mentality, but I am not going to forget things like that, the 90's when i came of age during HIV/AIDS epidemic and discrimination we faced, etc. That's why pride is still a thing, even if I don't feel compelled to push for anything additional from govt and only desire to maintain the new status quo.

Do you really think that? That there is NO benefit in TAMU doing better? In other words things should have just stayed the same - like the good old days. No women, no blacks, no gays. I don't know why I'm ever surprised by what I read here, but I think that's sad and I hardly think it's radical for us to not be dicks to each other.

I went to A&M because at 18 I knew I was gay, but I was still a kid and like most of us I pushed that part of my life to the side. I don't look at it as a mistake, but maybe it was. The stereotypes were true and alive and well with posts like yours highlighting all of the ugly things people say/said about A&M.

"Honoring" sexual degeneracy and mental illness and actively encouraging people to devolve deeper and deeper into such deviant behavior has historically indicated a civilization on a steep and spiraling decline.

The greatest civilization in the history of the earth is circling the proverbial drain.

So look here's the problem. If you believe that just say it. Your issue isn't pride being highlighted by A&M, your issue is the existence of gay people which you believe is a sinful abomination. Get to the point, don't hold back the hate - helps us to see you coming and is why people still push for equality and against a point of view, yours, that is still alive and well.

I'm Agnostic so...

I don't care that you (or anyone) is gay. What I can't abide is how you feel it must define you - in the same way someone might believe their "blackness" defines them. Shouting from the rooftops how proud you are of being gay (likewise with race) is like shouting from the rooftop how rich you are or how smart you are - a few folks might like to hear it, but most just see you as a self-absorbed and insecure duechnozzle.

When you set nebulous expectations like "they're going to have to try a little harder" you create a never-ending uphill battle to appease the offended. Social media posts turn to on campus displays, which become flying a gay flag at Kyle Field, and then dying Reveille's hair rainbow colors and marching her in a parade. It never stops, and every step of the way when people like me roll our eyes at the pandering and virtue signaling, people like you will say, "It's not that deep, A&M has to do better!"

No amount of public prostration will atone for the evils of the past in the eyes of the woke mob. The fact is that gay people are not a special class, and that should be sufficient. Move on, enjoy your life and the average 50+ sexual partners you will have.

Or repent, come to Jesus and find your fulfillment in His forgiveness - that's what I would root for.

What more do you want? What would happen if we had a "Middle Class White Male Month"? All hell would break loose.

Well, since the left has adopted full blown identity politics as the most important issue for this country and one you've specifically called out as your only voting criteria, then you should have no issue with "Straight Ags Week".

Otherwise, that would be yet another double standard by the left that it's ok to celebrate being gay for a month but it's not ok celebrating being straight for a week.

What rights are being denied that community today or in the past? Did they have a recent Supreme Court decision allowing them to no longer be 2nd class citizens? If so very glad they've made that progress.

Pride is still important because the attitudes that prevented those new rights is still prevalent. Read this topic, how you can go "yeah they got what they wanted, nothing for the gays to worry aboit" is beyond me. Marriage equality is the popular decision, but employment protection JUST happened last year.
