FORT WORTH (April 13,2009)--Texas Christian University announced Monday it will not provide on-campus housing for gay students this fall as previously planned.

TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said in a statement that TCU "will maintain its long-standing commitment to the inclusiveness of all people."

The DiversCity Q community was to open this fall in some campus apartments for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students, as well as for their heterosexual classmates who support them.

Eight students had signed up so far.

TCU, a private university with about 7,500 undergraduate students, is associated with the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), a community embracing both faith and reason, according to the school's Web site.

I guess I don't understand why they feel the need to build a housing complex SPECIFICALLY for gays, lesbians, transgendered etc. Why can't they just live where everyone else lives? It's like having the slave houses in the back of the plantation. It's discrimination and it's wrong. And DUB G I gotta laugh because I can't believe they let your comment get posted. LOL poop.
