Just to clarify... the Lavender graduation is not an alternative graduation but, rather, a supplemental ceremony for LGBT students and allies on campus to get together and celebrate with each other. much like the mass commencement isn't actually when people will graduate but simply a symbolic university wide ceremony. I am saddened that students who dislike a certain political agenda would then go be part of the ceremony for a group of students that they may not even identify with or otherwise support in a meaningful way. I'd rather not have students disrespecting the Governor; though I completely disagree with his politics, he represents the entire state government and him being at NT is a big deal. I guess I am seeing this a bit different than most people on this board. There is a disturbing trend of blatant and unrepentant disrespect for the institutions of elected office that I have noticed in politics over the last 6-ish years. I wonder what event corresponds with this timeline...

Boo Frickin Hooo!! Guess you were checked out from 2001-2008
