College Republicans Plan 'Straight Pride Week'
KCRA ^ | 1/28/05 | Mikey_1962

EDMOND, Okla. -- A University of Central Oklahoma student group is planning what it calls "Straight Pride Week" on campus.

Members of the College Republicans said despite objections from some, they have every right to celebrate. The general gist is that if you are a straight student on campus be proud, be loud, this is your time to shine," said college Republican Kyle Houts.

The group has posted fliers on campus that read, "we're here, we're conservative, we're out."

Members of the Gay Alliance for Tolerance and Equality say they consider the College Republican's celebration an attack on gay and lesbian students.

"What is there to say about it, 'I'm proud, and I'm straight and I guess white,' I don't know?" said GATE member Jennifer Rodriguez. "I think they definitely are being discriminatory because there's probably a lot of gay Republicans out there."

University officials have given the College Republicans permission to put up their fliers, but say their approval does not constitute an endorsement

If anybody can find any kernal of coherence in this statement, please offer a translation.

What a moron. The purpose of such a thing is to point to the ridiculousness of "gay pride". Proud because you have sex with someone in private? That's just stupid. That's not pride, that's vanity.

Good for these kids. Sad but true, straight kids have to defend their right to be straight these days. Hopefully they will inspire hundreds of thousands just like themselves to join in celebration of "straight" and run the faggots back into their closets where they belong. I alwaysliked them better when they were in their closets...not out running around with all their "in your face" faggot stuff. They are negative roll models...back in the closet.

So does the GATE think that "Gay Pride" offends and is discriminatory towards straight people? I'd wager NOT...

Looks like Ms. Rodriguez is precisely what she's accusing the College Republicans of being----a bigot.

So the Reprobates think only they have any right to celibrate? Is it not discrimination when the fudgepackers
celibrate Gay Pride.At least these Republican college kids have something wholesome to be proud of.And beg to differ with the kid who HATES whites- but white folk ain't the only Republicans-and they most certainly are not the only
heterosexuals in the land. Never walk up to a black lady you
do not know and ask her how it feels to be just like a gay?
They do tend to get angry. My non-scientific experiment was
conducted in response to Colorado Congress person who foolishly asked Gen.Colin Powell to justify the LIE "Being Gay is just like being black."Lucky it was a Christian lady.

She's confused about being white because in some cases Latinas are considered White to the gov't in other cases they're a separate group.

And she's correct. Some 25% of self-identified gays voted for Bush in 2000 according to exit polling.

Typically, the media reporter didn't bother to actually talk to a College Republican, but only to a "Gay Pride" person. Any bets that when they report on the "Gay Pride" week, they don't talk to any Gays, but instead only to College Republicans?
