I had the displeasure of spending the weekend with my wife's friends. Incredible liberals - mostly college administrators. One is some sort of a dean of students at a large southern college (not Duke) that will remain nameless. Dunno what my wife has in common with them, but that's a whole 'nother topic.....

The Topic of Religion came up. Mormons and Baptists, specifically. The "Religious Right" is "Weird", "Hateful" and "Intolerant". There's "No room for them on campus".

Next topic.....literally....was the new 'LGBTQ' center they're erecting on the admins' campus. For those not in the know, LGBTQ is "Lesbian, Gay, BiSexual, Transgendered, and Questioning". It was agreed that this was a good thing, provides diversity, multicultural, blah blah blah.

I said "So let me see if I have this straight. Religious people are weird and don't belong on campus, but people that don't know what sex they are are normal? And need their own center?"

No reply.

I didn't push further in my own self-interest of not making my wife mad. Also, it's not worth having a battle of wits with unarmed people.

/rant off. Thanks to all for letting me vent.

Hmmm... haven't seen the "questioning" thing before. Very interesting. It doesn't take much thought to guess what kind of "answers" such a center would provide.

I would think that it would be awfully hard to deny charges that this was a gay recruitment center for sexually confused youths.

"I said 'So let me see if I have this straight. Religious people are weird and don't belong on campus, but people that don't know what sex they are are normal? And need their own center?'"

Dude, you must have ruined their whole week. Logic isn't their strong suit. I bet they spent ours trying to figure out a workable response -- rather than acknowledging the logic, conducting analytical thinking, and then admitting the flaw of their beliefs.

Nah. They were just stunned at the pun.
