ATHENS, Ohio (AP) - Ohio University plans to test allowing men and women to live together in the same dorm rooms.

It's an idea that was pushed on behalf of the school's Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Center.

Center Director Mickey Hart tells the student-run newspaper The Post the gender-neutral housing will be of particular benefit to students who identify as transgender. Student Senate member Sean Martin says students in dating relationships who try to live together under the new housing option will be "frowned upon."

Administrators say a one-year experiment with male-female roommates will begin with this year's fall term, primarily for upperclassmen.

They say other Ohio schools, including Miami University, also are trying out gender-neutral housing.

This is insane, of course, but since when did insanity begin to be a disqualification for college administration.

If you’re a transgender woman who thinks you’re a man, but you like men, are you a fag? Or, if you like women are you straight?

Also seems like a few thousand sexual harassment complaints the universities will have to pay out on as well. The upside will be seeing the schools cope with financial harm due to trans-gendered sexual harassment. I mean if Chaz Bono is making unwanted advances at her roommate, Kim Kardashian......

I’m sure they’ll be remembering their tax payer funded abstinence counseling. And after all, everything universities teach makes so much sense, we’ll never have another set of Loughner parents. /s

On what possible moral high-ground could they now possibly stand to "frown upon" any behavior?

Instead of searchin for mysteries without any clues, youth will now have to be forced to, witness reality without any mystery.

What if you were a homosexual male trapped in a gay woman’s body?

They are adults, I mean there can basically be any living arrangements off campus so really this whole thing is pointless. Except how could be in that close quarters and not have hookups of some kind going on?

Do you want your kid to live in the same room with someone whose gender is in the gray area?

What parent would allow their daughter to attend a university under these circumstances?

Not when I went there. One to four person rooms. I don’t recall any multi room suites. That may have changed.

they should be getting mental help not bathrooms.

So now we give equal rights to people based on sexual preference then shall we now look at those who like sex with animal, consenting incest , 9 wives etc?

Why not anyway seeing as we give rights based on sexually getting off

NAIL ON HEAD

Shame we have a biased corrupt media which will never tell the truth.

Ah that is another part of the commie agenda, infiltrate not just churches but also the media and then lie to the public.

Uh...this isn’t the 1950s anymore. Co-ed dorms are the norm in most universities and for all intents and purposes, co-ed rooms are pretty standard in modern universities. People don’t “officially” live together but spending 75% of their free time together and having frequent sleepovers isn’t a far step from it.
