    Default Amendment could require "family values" centers at Texan universities

    http://www.dailytexanonline.com/cont...%99-centers-ut

    The amendment text defines alternative sexual practices as “gay, lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, transsexual, transgender, gender questioning or gender identity issues.”


    Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, asked Christian to define “pansexual,” which caused laughter throughout the chamber. The amendment must still be approved in a joint committee, where the budget bill will head next.


    “While it is humorous to you, it is humorous to me what we are allowing [gender and sexuality centers] to do with our tax dollars,” Christian said during the debate.

    This is primarily a way of taking funding and making it harder for the schools to support what they already have, but beyond that I'm not really sure what the centers could accomplish. The ex-gay programs don't work and straight people generally have an easy time staying straight. If they really were interested in doing something helpful for young heterosexuals, counseling on how to keep themselves safe (and fetus free) would actually be a good use for state money. Young people can be idiots regardless of orientation.

    Isn't this a bit like asking for White History Month?
    So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

    I'd liken it more to Straight Pride Parades.

    "We're straight, we're mostly apathetic, but today we're kind of in your face. So there." With the primary float being "The Playboy Bunnies" I assume?

    Amber Heard's playing a Bunny in a new pilot, so even that's kinda gay now.
