<p>This clause really stood out to me when I read this. This is blatantly ignorant.</p>
<p>I love how people can be hypocrites and still bag on other people (sarcasm).</p>

<p>Why shouldn’t they? </p>
<p>Just because YOU don’t like it doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be allowed to form whatever group they want.</p>
<p>Wow. For the record, for those of you who haven’t looked at old posts, the op doesn’t even believe racism exists (that the term is made up; that racism apparently doesn’t exist because some people refuse to see that racism can go against every race).</p>
<p>So we’re really speaking to a brick wall.
We should stop feeding the bigoted ■■■■■.</p>
<p>Hold on. I’ll feed for half a second.
That’s an incredibly idiotic statement. You do realize there are plenty of gay republicans, right? (I’m talking about normal, every day people; not idiot politicians who get caught fooling around when they already have a wife, kids, etc)</p>
<p>I’m glad that people don’t agree with the OP… Our society is finally making progress. :)</p>
<p>Let’s be honest. Gay people are not treate equally. There is still a lot of discrimination and hatred toward them, as sad is that is.<br>
Thank you to everyone who said that it is not a choice because it isn’t. No one would choose a life facing discrimination and intolerance.<br>
And why shouldn’t they be allowed to have a group…? Some people coming from ignorant conservative towns who know almost no gay people often feel isolated. So it’s a place where they can be themselves with people who UNDERSTAND them, a place where they can feel save and have a support network away from the hatred that they unfortunately have to deal with every day. </p>
<p>You will never be able to fathom what some of these people have been through. You don’t know what it’s like to be rejected by your family and friends for something that you cannot control. You don’t know what it’s like to wake up every day knowing that half of the country hates you and condemns you without even meeting you. you will never know what it’s like to not be able to legally marry the person you love and receive the equal benefits of that relationship. There are so many other things that gay people have to deal with that you will never understand, but you can start by showing a little compassion.</p>
<p>You didn’t want to start a controversy, but you are basically saying that gay people shouldn’t have the right to join together. Please grow up. Gay people have no effect on your life. Why do you care so much?</p>
<p>Well, not to pick one side or another but, if the gay club forgot to sign up, or messed up, or something, the club organizers could “accidently” put them in this spot. Then, they could have a 50% chance to get in, which is better than 0%.</p>
<p>Also, why would you go to a liberal school for engineering? How do you do math with all the weed, acoustic guitars and interpretive dancing?</p>
<p>@Ivystriver2 Well, I’m gay myself and I have a big problem with ignorant people. I’ve seen the lines the OP uses a million times and it’s nothing but brainwashing pure and simple. He’s heard the lines from trusted officials, in this case I’m guessing probably his parents, hasn’t really done his own research and instead been fed a diet of misinformation about LGBTs. Since he hasn’t bothered to challenge these viewpoints (something that seems to happen a lot in Conservative circles – appeal to (false) authority fallacy) these opinions appear factual even though they’re not. It’s an echochamber, and OP’s already to the point where he’s so deep it’s going to be difficult to climb out. Most likely he’ll continue to hate LGBTs without any good reason, using arguments that have been discredited for years.</p>
<p>^To a certain extent, yes. But that gets into a whole other argument about the rights of someone to date whomever they want provided that other person is able to legally give consent in their place of residence. I could choose right now to go out, find a girl and seduce her until she wanted to have sex with me… of course I wouldn’t be sexually attracted to her and it would be a pointless, largely loveless relationship. It comes down to this: why should I have to date someone I don’t love just to please others? I mean, if someone came up to you and said “Yeah, I know you like Nick, and you two love each other but uhh… we think your relationship is icky so you’re not allowed to date Nick, you’re free to date all these other people, love is just a choice anyway.” </p>
<p>I guess what I’m saying is, even if who we have sexual relationships with is a choice, why should that matter policy-wise? The attraction itself and the love is not a choice, at all. It’s my right to pursue the person who’ll make me happy as long as they’re over 18/can legally give consent.</p>
<p>why shouldn’t they be allowed? </p>
<p>this thread is lolz</p>
<p>people like you on this planet - why should they be allowed?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>When I say to a certain extent it’s a choice I’m talking about on a chemical level. I actually wasn’t thinking rape when I wrote that, I was referring more to forces of attraction on a purely chemical level. And I’m only interjecting the “why does it matter?” stuff because your argument is what the anti-gay side has gone to whenever they’re confronted by the truth of the “it’s a choice” argument. Since they can’t win there they’ll concede you might be born gay but you don’t have to “act” on it. Which is basically demanding that ~10% of the population or more remain eternally celebate because they’re uncomfortable with the idea that somewhere right now, two dudes are kissing each other. So while I know you yourself do not hold those views, I was trying to interject and put down that argument before it really had a chance to be raised by someone who maybe did hold those views</p>
<p>People, just remember that the OP started his first post ever on CC with the words “Racism doesn’t exist.” So just keep in mind who you’re dealing with here.</p>
<p>" loudspeaker that constantly preaches tolerance, diversity, acceptance at the expense of the people who just wish that we could return to a moral foundation for the United States, the people who want to just live our lives without being told what to do."</p>
<p>Because being accepting is such a horrible thing. The moral foundation for the United States? So we should go back to having things like we did in the past when our country was first developing, like slavery and no suffrage for anyone but white males? Sweet. If you want to make a heterosexual group on campus, go for it. But the point of student organizations like that are to provide disadvantaged people with support and to celebrate their culture (whether that be a gay culture or an Asian culture or any kind of culture). Are you against BSUs and Hawaiian/Pacific Islander clubs and other clubs for people of different races? Because not allowing someone to form a club for race is the same as not allowing someone to form a club based on sexuality. Unfair. Unjust. Ignorant. Bigotry.
And you wonder like “people like you” get criticized in the media. If you sound like a bigot and act like a bigot people are going to rightfully call you a bigot.</p>
<p>^Once again though, to an extent.</p>
<p>Yes you do have the absolute choice. But it is the choice to act upon an innate characteristic. Likewise, straight people “choose” to act upon their natural desires. </p>
<p>But once again, sexuality is not a choice. Saying that you can “choose” your actions in this sense is misleading. Like he said before, he could choose to be with a woman, but he will never be able to love her in that way.</p>
<p>Live and let live, eh?</p>
