Funny, I just make the joke about Texas yesterday and now this.
Texas Christian University will offer on-campus apartments for gay students and allies. Who knew, right?
Here's more about this initiative :
The DiversCity Q community will open in the fall in a section of the Tom Brown-Pete Wright apartments. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender students and allies — heterosexual classmates who support them — will have the chance to live together. Eight students have committed to the community so far, said TCU sophomore Shelly Newkirk, who applied to create the program.
TCU will also open two Christian-based living groups, another for fine arts and three other themed housing arrangements.
It’s all part of the university’s living-learning communities, designed for students who want to live with others who are like-minded.
"It’s a chance for students to be part of a unique experience," said David Cooper, TCU associate director for residential life. It’s also important to universities because students who feel a connection to their school are more likely to stay.
This is a big step for Texas and the LGBT community. I'm shocked, I mean I never imagine a Christian school making this move. It's almost like they're actually doing their Christian duties to humanity.
Is this a change is religious system?

Segregation, how lovely. It means they know there's going to be LGBT people in the university anyway, they might as well know exactly where they are.
Now you know somebody is gonna say this is a sign of the impending Apocalypse....
