LGBT support is not a political stance. It’s supporting the rights of all humans no matter what their sexual preference is. There is not political issue here it’s a human rights issue. If you seriously have a problem supporting equal rights you should probably realize it’s 2018 and go pound sand
Didn’t say it was...but it IS politicized, thus controversial for a large portion of people in the country. As a tax payer supported institution, If you show support for political/controversial things, you piss people off. That’s my whole point.
I don’t care if you smoke poles on the weekend dude, it’s not the actual pride/human rights thing that’s the issue...it’s staying out of things like this when it can stir up issues down the road. What if MSUs biggest donor is anti lgbt? These are the reprocussions people don’t think about. Again, the cause is 1 thing, and supporting it is great, it’s just a slippery slope when universities start doing it
So was the Civil Rights Movement.
This country needs to get back to doing what is right and just and moral, and begin to move far, far away from worrying about whether taking such action might anger a few voters.
Exactly! I tell people all the time it would be a lot easier if we would just all get along and not play victim, or blame everyone else for things. Take ownership and work together. If that were the case, nobody would even bat an eye if there was a mascot anywhere doing whatever.
