If TKE doesn't want homosexuals in his fraternity (and let's be real, most male fraterities don't), then he doesn't. That's his opinion, and he has that right.
JuniorGrrl has said a lot of the discrimination against homosexuals that doesn't happen so often at LSU, but what about the fact that the GLOs there and throughout the south remain practically all white. Where's the outrage there?
All I am saying, is that if prejudice is wrong, it's wrong, no matter who it is against. Don't be on your high horse condemning the splinter in the eye of a person who doesn't accept homosexuals if you have the mote (plank) of racism in your eye.
Just my opinion, though. Another of them thar native Louisianians.

Okay people, lets READ things here, not just make things up. I never said that LSU is so amazingly free-thinking and that discrimination against homosexuals never occurs. I simply stated I attended LSU.
I also stated that being in the deep south does not leave people immune from having a discrimination lawsuit brought against them.
I also never said that it wasn't an outrage that the GLOs at LSU remain practically all white. I do find it offensive that things are so incredibly segregated. It never came up, however, because that's not the topic. Is it really necessary to bring race into this and accuse me of being a racist simply because I kept my statements on topic? The fact is ALL discrimination is wrong, be it because of age, sex, race, or religion. But this discussion was on homosexuality, not race. Please read more carefully before making such serious accusations.
