A safe space for those people who feel they need it
One of the most gay-friendly universities in the country is becoming even friendlier, by offering to shelter its LGBTQ students from the rest of the school.
Indiana University-Bloomington is opening a thematic residence hall this fall for students who dont identify as straight men or women.
It will have a particular emphasis on transgender students and those who dont subscribe to conventional gender distinctions, the Herald-Times reported, citing GLBT Student Support Services Office Coordinator Doug Bauder.
IUs Residential Programs & Services (RPS) is less specific than Bauder. It says the so-called Spectrum area, housed within another dorm, is designed to make all students of all gender and sexual identities feel comfortable and supported, including allies, meaning supportive heterosexuals.
Spectrum uses shared locking, individual bathrooms, according to its RPS listing. The Indiana Daily Student reported in December, as Spectrum was in development, that it was specifically placed within a preexisting dorm that didnt have a single-gender arrangement, given that its residents are on a gender, identity and sexuality spectrum.
Spectrum has a connection with the Gender Studies department at the school and a direct partnership with Bauders office, RPS says.
Students who live in the dorm will enjoy opportunities such as forming a delegation to the Midwest Bisexual Lesbian Gay Transgender Ally College Conference and attending campus events such as a campus film screening, guest speaker, Kinsey art exhibit, etc., RPS says.
Recent winners in the Kinsey Institute Juried Art Show include an artist who made a self-portrait of her own sexual intercourse and climax, and another who designed a wooden sculpture of male genitalia in the posture of a rodeo bull.
Given their attendance over the years, each made-up gender could have their own section at home games.
That’s not a dorm...it is an insane asylum posited as a dorm.
Of course, it is bad for whites to express their "white privilege" by wanting to self segregate, whites don't need safe spaces as they are the dominant culture and must be open to criticism to feed their white guilt..
How else will libtards force their perverted culture on them..
As for being logical, is that even in the libtards lexicon ?
“Gender studies”?
is there a course in dna testing?
Pass- fail!
That should be a t shirt
Except it would get you arrested on “hate crimes”
That’s called “leaving them to their own devices.”
I wonder what percentage of the total undergraduate population will be in the dorm.
Does this segregation make these special people targets? How does this help to promote acceptance of their life choices?
“I dont necessarily think this is a bad thing”
Me neither. Put some sharks between me and that island ;)
The main goal of colleges is to destroy the concepts of rights and wrong held by students, which they learned from parents and church.
Time for corporate sponsorship: The Lysol Dorm.
IU has merely had 48 re-building years in a row.
