Re: TC Gay Alumni

How lame is this? Why don't you just request that IHQ recognizes all African-American Theta Chis or all special needs Theta Chis or born-again Christian Theta Chis. Whether you agree with the homosexual lifestyle or not is a separate issue from the brotherhood of the fraternity. When you break down members based on any arbitrary category, you begin to fragment and make a mockery of the concept of brotherhood.
I have brothers in my own chapter who are openly gay. I don't agree with their lifestyle and have been very candid with them about it. But, I love them as brothers of Theta Chi apart from the choice they've made. To me, it's the same as if they were fans of a sports team that I personally hated, for example. When you differentiate brothers for one reason or another, you make divisions in the very thing that unites us.
If you think one should not be called brother because he happens to disagree with your deviant and unnatural lifestyle, I submit that it's YOU who are not worthy of the Theta Chi name.

Not all of us get addicted to the randomness of the central part of this site

as a new brother and founding father of Iota Kappa, I can say i'm actually surprised this didn't get erased when it was requested, but, since its still here, i'll add my two cents.
to loosely qoute a line from Adam Sandler in Big Daddy, "I figure their just like any other guy, they just watch a different kind of porn."

Are we honestly having this "discussion?"
Perhaps this is why Brother Westol Resigned.
If you go to ANY Chapter other than your own, you will find Brothers you don't like. However, you must still trust the fact that YOUR BROTHERS thought this man was a good enough person to entitle them to the secrets of our ritual and you must respect their opinion as much as you would expect them to respect yours.
READ YOUR FUCKING MANUAL.

Brother Westol resigned more from AFH related things, as I understand it. Beta Nu does fairly well at keeping in touch with IHQ (we've got someone interning there this summer actually), but if you want to talk more about that, it should be in private.
That said, we have three brothers who are out, and they've been some of the best members of the chapter. I couldn't give a rat's ass what kind of porn they like, there's no way in hell I'd want them anywhere but at my side.
'Scuse my French.

Since Scissorhands hasn't posted in almost 3 years, and only posted 7 times in the 3 or 4 months he was here, I don't think he's going to see your response. And since no one else had posted in this thread in 2 years . . . .
