LFR and TT doth protest too much, methinks.
As a declared atheist, you wish to think no other. It's a free world, just keep it honest. It's all you've got.
The Family Research Council is asking people to contact the ULL president and ULS board to ask them to stop the ULL LGBT program.

The Lafayette Bishop releases a statement regarding the ULL LGBT program.

We should be getting a statement any day now from Richard Simmons.
Some of you are living in the 50's. This degree program has a lot of application when looking at the 40% of homeless youth are Homosexual or the extremely disturbing rate of Gay suicide among youth. These are just the ones that admit it. No telling what the stat really is........ The fact is that there is a history of LBGT in our country and our world. It is very interesting, if you take the time to read it. This thread has shown how much lack of education is out there on this subject. Good for ULL. It is the only good thing that I have seen them do. In the Northeast, this probably wouldn't be an issue. We need to expand our minds outside of our comfort zone to really be educated. What happened to that thought? You don't have to agree, but be educated on the subject before forming a complete stance on it.
As for those organizations protesting, it makes the South look silly and uneducated. I support their right to protest, though - just like I support ULL for stepping out and trying to educate instead of hide behind the Southern curtain.

Jordan Mills on choosing Tech:
“It’s a great experience seeing them play. It was a good atmosphere. The fans stood up the whole game and never sat down. They have a great fan base.”
Our parents and grandparents had a few things wrong in the '50s, but they had a whole bunch of stuff DEAD ON RIGHT, in accordance with the teachings of The Bible.

Good old Memorial Gym
It seems there are minds that are just as closed to the possibility that LGBT studies should NOT be taught as there are those whose minds are closed to the possibility that they should.
Yep! And, I am listening to both sides. Just because I agree with one side, doesn't mean I am not listening and trying to take in the other. Due to my line of work and my own family, though, I have a bias. It is a good bias, though, because it comes out on the side of acceptance of people.
How do you know? Seems that they were just as strong minded on some things that were wrong, as those they had right. Add to this that time and culture changes.
Perhaps they need counseling and not a curriculum. And for you to assume that people on here posting comments not in support of this to be uneducated and people living in the 50's, to the point that you actually state we are uneducated, is pretty uneducated of you. For many, this is not an education issue, but a moral issue. There isn't a thing in this world that someone can say to me to make me think I need to be tolerant, or accepting, or anything else of this lifestyle. That doesn't mean that I hate those people. I'm a musician (among other things) and, as you may imagine, have several good friends that are gay. But that doesn't mean I agree with it. And it CERTAINLY doesn't mean I will ever do anything to support, accept, or tolerate anything that promotes that lifestyle.
Now, if you include some of these classes in a counseling curriculum (which is normally the case), I can support that.
You can be educated in some topics, but not others. I will admit that I am not educated in engineering. When it comes to the social sciences, though, everyone thinks they are. And, it is not a lifestyle or choice.
And here is the point where no one is changing their minds. Some wonder why I don't post on the political board. It is because it just comes to a screaching halt when we are all set on what we believe. I don't see a point in discussing a point, if it doesn't go anywhere. Politics are the same way - people are so set in what they believe that they aren't willing to listen to anything else. I am not saying that I am not guilty of that, as well. No one is willing to concede on anything. There is no debate anymore. Most topics are dead on arrival, because we have become a nation divided.
I'm not seeking to fault you Champ (well, yes I am, but not in a confrontational way), but you are being no more fair-minded than the other side. Both sides are responding only. If you are listening to the other side, then all you've determined is that the other side is living in the 50's, that they need to read the Bible in a different light, that they refuse to recognize that society changes, that they don't care about people (at least not as much as you), and that they look like dumb Southerners.
If you "listened" and heard accurately, then I say you're wasting time with Neanderthal's.
