This is what passes for "lawmaking" in Texas.

Just read the article, for god's sakes, just read the article.....

By giving rights (all sexualities) to more than one select group (GLBT) they are saying "**** human rights"?


Yes because the grounds they're doing this on is completely unfounded BS. They're trying to divert funding for these GLBT support centers in the hopes they'll close down

Wait, so, if I'm correct, the bill passed required equal funding between homosexual and heterosexual support groups?

Yes. And in an effort to deter homosexual support groups they want that money to come from the homosexual support group. It's a load of fear mongering Republican bs.

They simply don't want the state paying for support groups for select individuals while the general public is not receiving the same benefits.


Then they shouldn't go around saying that some people are living their lives wrong.

What the heck is a heterosexual support group? "Oh geez I think I'm straight!"?

I don't believe it said they were living their lives wrong in this article. If I missed it, could you please tell me where to find it.

What do these groups need the funding for? Can these groups not exist without funding?

It is a matter of fairness. It's a little out of context, but if you look at post-civil war history, you'll see that African Americans faced the same issues with creating organizations that would run on extra money/benefits.
But legislation is all based on precedent. Just as the Supreme Court may make ridiculous rulings in order to preserve fundamental concepts of our government, Legislation will do the same. There is no reason to give GLBT's any support over every other group. They have an agenda, and straight people have an agenda. If you do this then just about every minority will want life improving organizations.

See. This right here is so bassackwards it isn't funny. The gays have an agenda? Really? Oh no the gays are going to take over the world through the secret gay agenda they've developed over the past two decades. No. The gays do NOT have some secret agenda, stop thinking that.

They have support groups because people are *******es and torment people who are different. And they end up becoming isolated. I've got a gay friend, it isn't easy for them because people have this f'ed up notion that being gay is something unnatural. So yeah, they have support groups to help them figure things out because it's hard and confusing, and people don't make it any easier. Just look at the kid who killed himself over his roommate video taping him having relations with another guy. THAT'S why they have support groups, because of *******es like that.

agenda: a list or outline of things to be considered or done

He wasn't saying they were trying to take over the world.

Do they really need government funding for these groups though? They could very easily find a place to hold meetings once a week or something like that without costing anyone a dime. I guess this goes back to my questions "What do these groups need the funding for? Can these groups not exist without funding?"

In a University? Yeah might be a freaking good idea to have some money go toward helping people deal with things.

Counsellors, the materiels for said counsellors, support staff, probably other things I can't think of.

I don't know why you people are so uptight about this. Shouldn't we be asking "Why do heterosexuals need a support group?"

Can the normal school counselors not take care of this? I didn't have special counselors if I felt singled out by race at my school.

It's probably more than just counsellors. They probably have social service people and people who know what they're talking about. Not all consellors are good for advice and things. You also ignored my question.

They don't. In the article it even says they aren't really trying to establish this groups.

You're right but like I said, I didn't have a special counselor. We can't have a special counselor for every group of people that feels wronged. If the current counselors aren't able to deal with issues of sexuality, then the school should either require more training or get new counselors.

Do you need one?

You're treating gays like their own seperate race. Get out of that mindset, it's wrong.

They did. Why do you think they have a support group?

Its not in the article, but the people in Texas who want this are homophobic and think that homosexuals are living wrong.

They need funding because of homophobic people who harass them.
