A liberal is not a leftist.



You're being willfully obtuse in the context of this thread.

Well adjusted individuals.

I should've clarified on page one, I'm wayyy more concerned about the militant leftist part than the gay part.


Yep. That's the concern. Gay? Who cares.

It's not simply having a different worldview. It's the militancy, which is a willingness, if not eagerness, to attack and destroy ideological opponents.

It seems like a lot of people do care about (not) having a gay roommate.

It scares me that this thread is open to the public. What an embarrassment. This kind of phobia is what is causing the division. Dem/Rep, black/white, gay/straight......on and on.


There's now a Reddit thread about it. People here don't realize how small minded and bigoted they come across to anyone outside the f16 echo chamber.

I don't care what op's son does but some of the replies immediately assuming the roommate is going to go full gay mafia on him are ****ing stupid and embarrassing. You seem to think the guy needs a safe space just like the far left liberals do.

Not everyone at A&M is a good old boy with a corps haircut who goes to church 12 times a week and attends Trump rallies. And apparently a bunch of grown ass men need a reminder that college is a place you meet people who aren't like you.


Where did OP say their kid was going to A&M? Or that the kid was a son?

FIFY.
I would rather you call me the F word if I was this poor guys gay liberal roommate.


So you wouldn't be happy living with someone who was militantly religious?

No atheist (assuming this young man is, most gay men lose any interest in religion for obvious reasons) in the world wants to be evangelized to in their dorm room. If you want to influence people favorably show it, but if your approach looks something like the posts here than I'd say you'll be highly ineffective. Some of the worst **** I've ever read/heard about gay people is posted here routinely by Christians (who are clear that drives their point of view).

If OP wanted a homogenous sanitized college experience for his son, even A&M may not have been the right choice. Many colleges cater to your viewpoints like Liberty.

Having first-hand experience with this as a dad, in a very similar situation, I'd encourage you to find another living arrangement for your child.

Nothing un-Christian about helping your young adult find an environment more aligned with your values.

The world has no problems pushing for their space…
I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

First, OP never said it was a male child or A&M.

Second, you'd be unhappy living with someone evangelizing for Christ. OP's child would he unhappy with a militant liberal. Why should either of you live with someone who makes you unhappy?

Especially at a time so critical to the next 40 years of their lives. It's ok to minimize risk and the last few years have shown that militant leftist gays are risky for conservatives to associate with.

If there's anything I've learned from the anti gay posters here, it's that conservatives are just as, if not more snowflakey than liberals and need their safe spaces more than ever.

No one cares about your precious kid's fee fees getting hurt by having to coexist with liberals in college. If you can't handle that then send him to Liberty. Or tell him to man the **** I up and accept that not everyone is like him.

I have zero sympathy for the hate filled posters saying anti gay trash here. Stop trying to justify it with "Christian love."

I've had bad roommates before. But I was never a Karen about it. If it ever gets out of hand or the roomie crosses a line then the person is free to request a move out. But pre judging them is stupid

Not really. In fact, it's normal and accepted. That's why they have matching criteria and services. It decreases the odds of a bad experience and incompatiblity.

I'm not surprised at your shallow, thoughtless opinion on the matter.

He can live wherever he wants and the college is willing to allow him to? I object to the characterization his roommate will be some kind of predator because he is gay. No one is saying that about straight men who assault women at alarming rates.

OP said gay and that says most of it. What sort of gotcha are you going for, get a life.

If she's a lesbian what's to worry about, they aren't relevant to the bull**** stats I am replying to.

LOL you calling anyone a snowflake with this post? If you are gay its ok.

According to your logic a gay person should have to be roommates with anti gay Christian? Suck it up right

My goodness. It's not a gotcha. No one should live with someone who makes them unhappy. I had a loud, obnoxious roommate. It made me unhappy. If I'd known that about her before I moved in, I would have made other arrangements. If my daughter was assigned a male roommate, she would be uncomfortable and would make other arrangements.

You're the type of roommate most people here wouldn't want to live with. You'd 100% cause a roommate serious problems if they offended you.

Why because I'm offended by the characterizations here that gay=pedophile and predator? you're trying to characterize my whole personality based on something I find offensive and is factually INCORRECT, but Texags sees fit to allow this damaging stereotype to persist and effectively sponsor that speech here. I can appreciate someone may not be comfortable with the situation, but call it that. Not "I don't want to live with a gay person" with a bunch of damaging lies and stereotypes which are simply untrue. That's where these threads go off the rails TO me.

Good…come join us Reddit people. Create a user name and come join in here on F16, could use some more reality around here.



Looks like we found the poster who started the reddit thread.

Reality? More like total darkness.
In an ironic twist... two of the posters that most represent why the OP should be concerned, come here to prove exactly WHY the OP and every other poster telling the OP to abandon the roommate gave the advice they did.

Thanks for validating every reason Conservatives have about Liberals.

MODS - Now you know when this site gets trashed on Reddit... you know who the rat is.
spot on and they would ruin the op life if they could doxx him

And yet I've never tried to cancel anyone. And it's the Rudder Association, likely with members who post here, pressuring the university to cancel draggieland and take control of the batt because their fee fees got hurt by opposing views.

I hate cancel culture, but I am never shy to call out the right when they are just as awful as the left about it. From Trump crying and trying to destroy people who criticize him, to Texas banning books, to Dan Patrick cancelling speakers who talk about topics he doesn't like, I can think of a litany of examples of right wing snowflakiniess.

This thread is full of that with a bunch of disgusting, hateful, anti gay bigotry. Unbelievable staff allows some of this trash to stay up.

I didn't think I'd have to explain the difference between criticism of other views and actively trying to cancel people.

I can't stand cancel culture. It's so childish. But any reasonable person understands that's not the same as criticism.

Eta: I would never try to deplatform a conservative student group from some speaking engagement if they hosted a controversial speaker. I even went to one while I was a student. Can't say the same about TRA, etc
