What sort of University resources do they use (honest question)?

But, the bigger issue is this. In these days of HUGE budget cuts universities are having to downsize legit offerings. How can anyone justify crap like this? If just ONE faculty member was added or retained to cover these courses, that is beyond ridiculous.
I do feel for our Gayjuns friends, however. :icon_roll:
Heck, can you even teach Old or New Testament Bible or even Christian studies at a publicly funded university these days? So here comes the homosexual agenda thrown in our face again at every turn it seems.

Yes. Do you consider that an agenda that is thrown in people's face? I certainly don't. It's an area of study that people can CHOOSE.

And THAT is what is really "sickening."

Official university organizations use facilities, at a minimum. They also have the opportunity to receive SGA funds for events, projects, speakers, travel, and more. I have no way of knowing whether these groups in particular do this, but the GSA currently is listed as an official student organization and is eligible to do so, assuming that list is up-to-date.

There is a big difference between a degree program and a student organization.
BTW if the organization applies for SGA matching funds or grant money and if the funding is granted, the SGA funds come from student self-assessed fees, not state funding.

Of course there is. I was not equating the two. I was simply asking whether people objected to students' fees and/or university resources supporting such a group.

Of course not. Students can start whatever organization they want as long as they have the 20 signatures (or however many they need). We have a full spectrum of political and religious student organizations.

I am aware of that. People were making the argument that "our" money should not go to support an "agenda." I was making the point that students' and taxpayers' money often goes to support causes they don't like--social, political, religious, and otherwise. Some also seemed to take pride in the fact that "we" would never allow something like this on our campus, but, as I pointed out previously, many courses include and even focus on LGBT issues, as is appropriate.
Apparently there were people on ULL's campus who wanted the LGBT minor as an option. Some on here have talked about it being "forced" on them. That's ridiculous.

Nobody forced the LGBT program on ULL. It was completely in house as it was pushed by a professor, coordinator, and several students, all people at ULL with an agenda.
However, the LGBT agenda will be pushed onto students not pursuing the minor as LGBT content has been added to almost 100 courses at ULL. Yes, LGBT content is appropriate for some of those courses, but LGBT content is unnecessary in many of those courses. Therefore, the LGBT agenda will be forced onto students not taking the LGBT curriculum.
