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.

---

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.

---

I didn't say they shouldn't be able to celebrate whatever they want, just that it's a pretty ugly thing to say on a sticker "Straight Ags, a tradition since 1876" when there's been gay men here since the beginning and implies very clearly that group is "less than" the majority.

Try again. You're 100% wrong, but why should I expect anything different from a group of people who think gay people have not been denied rights and have NOTHING to worry about so should just pack it up and head home.

You're telling me the average American Christian actually manages to love the sinner when it comes to homosexuality?

Bull***** Hatred, disgust, and contempt for homosexuals is an acceptable stance in practice for the majority of Christian communities in Texas and on this board. The notion that the prevailing attitude is in some way loving or good hearted is a joke. I've met people who believe homosexuality is a sin who seem primarily interested in bringing them to Christ, but don't otherwise outwardly hate them. They are rare. Most people may claim to try, but the success rate seems negligible to me. The acceptance of this attitude in a church community is a significant failing.

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.

---

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.

---

Boohoo. They are saying "ugly" things. How mean. A&M is a big school with an active sports and competitive academic programs People will say things. Its funny I hear more 'ugly' disparaging things about UT than I do TAMU. I hear disparaging things about Tech, crap about being qualified for nothing but pizza delivery. Anyone with normal firing neural synapses knows that's idiotic. Just because something is said. Does that make it true ?????

Funny you bring women and minorities and all the other 'usual' oppressive victimized groups Sure A&M should allow women, minorities that want to be military officers and wish to have an education in ag/industrial sciences. Now should their sexuality and preferences matter or even be brought up as some "special tag" NO as that is a behavior.

Your leftest ilk makes statements like this to guilt-trip less grounded types into buying leftest indoctrination. There are gay conservatives that do not buy your political-victim driven garbage or that of the left.

"Ugly" is subjective to the ear of the listener, despite the efforts of your ilk to define its meaning and shove it on the rest of us

As I understand it you are not religious, if so my apologies. However, pride is one of the seven deadly sins, that comes with severe consequences in this life or the next.

Ill see a lot of you in hell I guess. I'm not religious anymore, but don't remember all this judgment being part of Gods plan and Jesus teachings either. I guess we can take that up with the big guy then why he would have made this population I'm in so deeply flawed.

Gay men have been at A&M since its inception in 1876, if in all that time we've just managed to get a perfunctory Instagram post and tweet the last few years I think you can calm down.

You've made this claim a couple times now. Who exactly was this patron saint of homosexuality in the initial class of Aggie cadets of which you speak?

Simply sounds like Pride to me.

Look, I would rather we not have either because it's stupid and we have many, many more important issues to worry about, but since your side has decided to elevate identity crap to the top then it should be certainly ok for conservatives to celebrate their side.

Problem is both we know that's not allowed or it's highly discouraged and gets much resistance by all of the core cultural institutions in this country.

Gay conservatives are everywhere and while you'd like to paint me as a raging liberal you'd be wrong. These gays who voted for trump and other R's are naive at best though if they've run to vote for a party that clearly does not have their interests at heart. Everyone can prioritize their platforms and vote accordingly - that's their right, but will be a cold day in hell before I throw my vote that way again as long as attitudes like this run directly under the surface of Republican Party membership and are explicit in the platform.

Oh spare me. You use all the lefts well known guilt-tripping brain off triggers.

So sexuality is the only 'interest'. How about their ability to have a prosperous eco future or to be assured of a gov based on the rule of law.

You talk like sexuality and preference is the only things that defines a human being.

Yes, I like athletic women with nice asses and legs and think guys that key in on boobs only are wrong. I think I will think less of them based on your idea of what matter as a human being.

Yes the "I'd rather not have either" argument, this was the one I heard often before gay marriage. That govt shouldn't be in marriage business, but they were and we knew that was never going away. It just allowed for a justification in the person's mind that the right could continue to be denied for gay people.

I wish we didn't need pride, I didn't have to donate thousands to HRC to continue to lobby for my rights, etc. That's clearly not the world we live in and those new rights are not guaranteed.

Make jokes about it all you want, but I most assuredly will not be seeing anyone in hell.

Im not real worried about it. I like that this is offensive to you for what it's worth, it's an interesting juxtaposition with your comments about me. Carry on

I'm not sure if I am supposed to get angry, but I'm not if that was the intent. I feel sorry for you, and hope that you find the way to the father.

And you ignore that your attitude is NOT how world works or the Republican Party thought/thinks. If that was the majority opinion my rights wouldn't have required Supreme Court decision, they would have just happened. If people really didn't care where I stick my dick there would have been no need for pride, pandering by democrats, a culture war, etc. You're the one living in a pipe dream, I'd love to join you there but it's not the real world.

I don't care to wear your ribbon.

I think the idea of being proud is a direct response to parts of society that say they should be ashamed. I don't see one stopping without the other.

Nitro Power said:

---

I cannot imagine going through life being a victim the way you have presented yourself in this thread. Absolutely pathetic. If the gay community was actually full of "pride" they wouldn't give a **** what anyone thinks.

---

I don't give a **** what people think and think that's clear here. I care about having an equal footing in society, not better or special standing - equal. It's hardly a difficult thing to understand or shouldn't be for someone with a college education. It's not about "sex", sorry to ruin that salacious narrative in your head.

It's definitely about sex. 60% of the country is part of a religion that teaches that men having sex with men is sinful. They do care where you put your dick. I'd argue that people like nitro power who don't care where you put your dick are bad Christians if they believe homosexuality is a sin. Who doesn't care if others sin? It seems like a bad stance, and probably a dishonest one.

How hypocritical and patronizing. Not much different than "if you don't vote for me, you ain't black".

Did it ever cross your mind that they could view the world differently than you, or, just perhaps might value certain things higher than their sexuality?

Cool

But can't help notice how you're ignoring the bigger picture issue where leftist political ideology is all about division, categorization, hierarchy of faux victimhood and Balkanization ...all while they gas light you and claim to be about inclusion and tolerance

---

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.

---

Right

Because, as the guy you voted for said:

"They gon put y'all back in chains!"

So easy to manipulate emotional, single issue voters like yourself

But then you pretend that's the ONLY thing you voted for and are somehow absolved of any blame for the run away inflation, destroyed economy, border crisis, rising international tensions, racial violence, run away tyranny and all the other evils the Dems you voted for are causing

It's too bad the "F" name when referencing homosexuals is considered a slur.

It would be fun to mix that with Aggie, but not cool to be offensive.

anyways, whatever.

Fly your rainbow flag, and leave Sully alone, and we are cool, as far as I am concerned.

Perhaps you should take a peak at Matthew 7:5.

Bee *** has it in his username. How bad can it be?

Yes read my whole post. I said people can prioritize however they want. It's my opinion they're naive. Again, how anyone can read posts in this forum and go "Yup, republicans are never going back to the well to try and take rights away from gay people" have a sense of optimism I wish I could find in myself.

People who use their sexual desires as their defining attribute are total idiots.

You like members of the same sex, great. It means nothing until you make it your one and only defining trait about you. I swear some of you wound defend a child predator just because the idiot is lgbtq

Silly me, I shouldn't have forgotten that nitro power is called to keep the gospel to himself until he stops sinning. He has no responsibility to address the sins of others.

No one called you anything. More victim hood. Hard to make it in life when your failures are everyone else's fault. Good luck.

Ehhhhh.... I don't know if that's 100% accurate. At least not in the circles I run in. And I've got some pretty diverse circles up and down the line. The vast majority of white Christians I know, from west Texas to Houston to South Texas, really just shrug about it. "Ho hum" sort of attitude. Heck, most white Christians I know have someone in their family that are members of the LGT community. I've got two in my family and the oldest, a female and a cousin, we've been cracking wise about gays and straights for years. She wishes she was born straight-- but she just isn't. So for years her coping mechanism was humor, and I think that's why, now-- 35 years after she came out, nobody in the family cares. And truth be told, I think after about 2 days and the initial shock wearing off, nobody cared.

Point is-- I really don't think the "majority" of white Christians really care what you do, so long as you're not doing it on their front lawn.

Believe that you are missing the point...
