Recent Publicity On The Transgender Homecoming Court

[TheTastyGreek]

Get a damn grip. This is not about "homophobia" Why do we have to have a "gay" homecoming court? If this passes, I will demand an all black homecoming court, and all white homecoming court, and all Latino homecoming court, and all Asian homecoming court, an all greek homecoming court, and an all residence hall homecoming court. I mean after all, we have to have EQUAL opportunity, right?

You do realize that latino, black, etc. couples are all able to run for homecoming court under the current rules, right? You are aware that what you're "demanding" is already possible, right?

But what about an interspecies couple, like a man and his favorite sheep?

That would be MTSU's Homecoming.

I can't believe I just posted in this thread. I feel dirty.

It's like trying to pull something out of a tar pit. Good luck getting back out again.

Hall of Fame worthy?

If a tuition-paying sheep in good academic standing wants to run for homecoming court... I honestly don't give a crap. Because it's HOMECOMING COURT. Maybe at Western Kentucky, a farm animal could get enough fraternity votes to win an election... But I doubt it ever happens here. And even if it does, it's HOMECOMING COURT - freakin' transient... Never mind.

If we all continue to synchronize our respective ideological outrages so well, I'm thinking Gold Medal all the way.

I thought the sheep was hot!

CaribbeanGreen is right though...there's really no "right" to be gained here. It's just attention-mongering by a select few who are making a spectacle out of themselves and our university. This world has gotten so politically correct that rational decisions for the good of the whole are no longer possible. Instead, we cave to the otherwise ridiculous demands of the special interest groups in fear of them taking their cause to the news media. This fight isn't about Homecoming court selection at all. In fact, I'd be surprised if any gay candidates would really run for Homecoming King and Queer.

How the hell does this affect recruiting?? Homophobia seems more like it, IMO.

It's funny no one went up in arms when Teflon Todd had his racism fiasco come through. You want to talk mud on the face of the university, look there. You want to talk negative effects on recruiting, look there. The worst stint EVER by an NT coach, and I'm obviously not only talking win/loss percentages, has occurred the last 3 years under this man. I don't think homecoming nominations will mean 2 rat turds to any potential recruit.

Because there was no truth to it, good god, just a grumpy pissed off immature player and buddy. Even the NAACP investigated and found nothing at all.

Thanks. I just laughed/coughed breakfast burrito onto my crisp white shirt.

I spurt hot coffee through my nose, so I feel your pain on that one.

Good thoughts, everyone. I'm going to reserve judgment until I hear what Glenn Beck thinks. Fingers crossed!

Black couples were winning homecoming court for all the years I went to UNT.

Hate gays much?

"Mean Queen"

Latest comment from the co-workers. I actually had to smile at that one.

Well, beastialty is illegal, so I'll go with no.
