The other perspective is that gays are a minority that most people do not like stuck in their faces. The majority does not want to hear about gays, see them, or see posters on their campuses. This wave of "in your face" attitude fostered by the radical leftist activists, is going to hurt gays in the long run. If they would just mind their own business, they would do more for their "cause".
A&M is the most politically incorrect campus I've ever seen. Thank God!
In 1928, the first known photograph was made of the Bonfire.
In 1943, the first all-log Bonfire was built. It stood 25 feet high.
Texas Aggie Bonfire draws crowds in excess of 50,000 to the Polo Fields on the northeast corner of the A&M campus.
Thats nothing compared to what happens to conservatives and christians on liberal campi
That said, the student body is mostly conservative but the ones who scream the loudest is the homosexual lobby. They're still hacked off that the Young Conservatives of Texas have stood up to their agenda. The administration hates the YCT and seriously pushes the homosexual lobby. (Several years ago, some unknown people spread some flyers around campus containing some very bigoted comments about homosexuals. The homosexual lobby openly blamed the YCT and the administration basically did the same but couldn't prove it. I bet it was some of the homosexual lobby who spread the flyers just to cause trouble.)
Anyway, the administration, faculty, and journalism department, which publishes the Batt but will soon be eliminated from the Dept. of Liberal Arts, are about as far left as one would find on 90% of college campuses.
The young, Aggie future lawyers are ready to defend the YCT in this stance...or at leat this young Aggie future lawyer is...
Glad Aggieland hasn't changed that much since 1980. We fought like hell to keep our student fees from going to the queers, but Administration shoved it down our throats. The Batt was a worthless rag back then too. I always thought they were teasips undercover.
