Wednesday of this week, UNT senior Marylinn Alvarez passed away. Her younger sister is a elementary school classmate of my daughter's within the Lovejoy ISD. Marylinn was a member of the UNT Student Government Association. I'm sure she attended a football game or two while attending North Texas. (Trying not to break forum rules.) Her family desires to have her buried in Mexico where the majority of the family resides. I reached out to the Dean of Students office today and learned that the University lowered the UNT flag yesterday in her honor and it will remain lowered for the next seven days. A group from the Lovejoy area is raising money to help the family with the costs to send Marylinn to her final resting place in Mexico. (Marylinn was a 2011 graduate of Lovejoy High School.) If anyone is interested, feel free to make donations at http://www.gofundme.com/qrfjt8 . I assure you that this is not a cruel April Fools prank, scam, or anything of that nature. If you have questions, feel free to PM me. I apologize if it's found that this is not appropriate for the forums. My family is just reaching out where we can to help in this time of need. Thank you!

A&M SGA Bill
meanJewGreen posted a topic in The Eagles Nest (There Should be Pie For Everyone Forum)
SGA bill passed by A&M allows religious students to opt out of paying for the LGBT center on campus Yes, the conservative argument probably is "Well, they should fund a Heterosexual support center too" However, there are certain student service fees for things we never use. However, other students might use them. At A&M, a university founded on military and religious values, it's probably a hell of a lot harder to come out of the closet and be proud of who you are without fear of some kind of backlash. This center helps those people, and their supporters do just that. There is a bill in the Texas House that also calls for decreased funding of these centers, saying they lead to "risky behavior". I'm proud to be an alum of UNT, a school that promotes tolerance and fosters a community where people don't feel oppressed and don't fear backlash because of their religious beliefs or sexual orientation and can empower others to do the same. Yes, we had the whole same-sex homecoming court bill in 2009, but that pales in comparison to what the A&M SGA is doing.- 14 replies
