Homosexuality Is Key to Some College Scholarships

[OWK]

Those in the picture were merely the wrong type of Homo. The Nazi Party was filled with Homos and any persecution (which was very small in proportion to the total killed) was merely because of political differences.

Feel free to rationalize and revise as you see fit, in order to accomodate your fantasies.

[OWK]

I clarified this in a previous post, their activities are already illegal, I don't want that changed. I don't want them jailed, that was a mistake from a previous post...

The fact that the glaring contradiction in these statements is not obvious to you, makes me wonder about your ability to discern even the simplest of points.

[breakem]

I suggest you lobby for some more moral laws. Perhaps start with jail for adulterers, those who dishonor their parents, and those who worship false gods.

I wouldn't dream of horning in on your territory. Just the facts, ma'am just the facts.

If it's a private scholarship not given by the school, I don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Should we be against conservative organizations giving scholarships?

[conservative cat]

Ever see the movie Soul Man?

LOL! I thought the same thing!

[Future Snake Eater]

Actually, one of my best friends on campus is on the wrestling team. He gets a pass on academics when he needs it and he knows it. I don't deny they have killer schedules, but so do I.

[Future Snake Eater]

The scholarships are for $1500. Not exactly a free ride.

Depends on the school they go to. That would pay for the vast majority of my tuition every semester.

[jethropalerobber]

well what are you waiting for then?

[NittanyLion]

I'd be interested to know what campus. While I don't deny certain schools give their athletes a pass, I suspect the vast majority of schools do not. I know for certain athletes at my alma mater worked every bit as hard as the student body.

[jethropalerobber]

...there are existing laws in every State against homosexual acts.

actually, only 5 states have sodomy laws that apply only to same sex partners.
another 11 states have laws which apply to heterosexuals as well.

[BikerNYC]

Is it only that many? I thought it would have been more.

[jethropalerobber]

in 1960, every state had some form of the law.
since then they have been rapidly repealed or struck down.

And for those homosexual students who have demonstrated leadership in promoting diversity and understanding in the community, the LEAGUE Foundation offers a $2,500 scholarship dedicated to the memory of Matthew Sheppard, whom it considers a model of courage.

I once propositioned a girl at a bar, and she slapped me. Would LEAGUE consider me a model of courage also? </sarcasm>

I do have a serious question. When your mind gets that twisted, does it hurt to think? Does anybody here know?

Shalom.

[ArGee]

Anonymous benefactors have endowed university scholarships in the past. But I can't think of a single scholarship that has ever been granted to anonymous recipients.

So, let me get this straight. I fill out a form claiming to suffer from same-sex attraction disorder (SAD is a much more appropriate term than gay) and they give me $1500 for it, and I don't actually have to be SAD because nobody will ever know I claimed to be?

Sounds like a gravy train to me.

Shalom.

[ArGee]

I don't think it's the government's business what someone does in their own house, given that they are a consenting adult.

If they're doing it in their own house, how does the gub'mint or anybody else know?

If everyone knows, they aren't doing it in their own house. It is then a matter for public policy.

I don't advocate locking anyone up. I advocate telling the truth, that Same-sex Attraction Disorder (SAD) can be treated.

Shalom.

[Darksheare]

Dullard.

I see that you're speaking for yourself again, as is usual for you. No OWK, your tactics are well documented, remember? You arrogantly state something off base, people respond. You then insinuate that they are gay. You purposefully bait people. You staunchly defend everything gay. And it makes one wonder, what's in it for you? The point is, the article gives new meaning to "open door policy" in schools. That, and it is discriminatory against those of us who are straight.

Now, get real. Meanwhile, here.. take this compass and this magnet and navigate those woods over there. Don't stop till you find the wiseman.

[ArGee]

My guess would be that the "courage" of Matthew Sheppard was his living his life openly. He was no angel, he was flawed like everyone else. But he was true to himself, even in the face of adversity.

Homosexual attraction is, by definition, not being true to oneself. He might have shown real courage if he had sought help. He also might have found it.

Shalom.
