At this university views on sexual mores tend to be monolithic and it is no wonder these views on controversial and complex issues are imposed on students directly from the administration. Fraternities are required to attend three education events per semester that teach members about rape, drug use, hazing and the like as a part of their Fraternal Organization Agreement. Unlike previous semesters, one event was a rally against the Marshall-Newman Marriage Amendment with keynote speaker Julian Bond held Halloween.
The classication of this political event as educational is indicative of the growing insensitivity of the University itself and its community to disagreement on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.
Two weeks ago I shared a perspective on sexual assault traditionally overlooked at this University. This week I hope to do the same with the same-sex marriage debate.
More than a few fraternity men agree that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. The community seemed to respond that this belief is not tolerable.
Some members of the unsympathetic majority of students and faculty at the University have intimidated students who believe that homosexuality is immoral.
