Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

1. GLBT Resource Centers don't "teach alternative sexual behaviors." They educate others about the prejudice, discrimination, and marginalization gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people face on a regular basis.

2. GLBT Resource Centers aren't "promoting a certain life style and culture" but instead are advocating for equality, acceptance, inclusivity, and affirmation for all people.

3. GLBT Resource Centers don't just serve *** people. They provide many resources to the entire student body.

4. The Texas A&M GLBT Resource Center's mission is in congruence with the academic master plan, Vision 20/20, and the diversity plan.

5. This bill does not promote "equality." The gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community consistently deals with institutional, social, systemic, and political inequality. Providing GLBT Resource Centers is just a small attempt to rectify such significant disparities. Cutting funding in half for these centers would eliminate invaluable resources on Texas campuses, only intensifying the existing inequality faced by the GLBT community.

Fond of tradition, but attached more to the joy of human interaction, you are often a beacon of hope to those members of society who have lost faith or who are in need of succor. You are often emotional, and this emotionality is rarely held in check. Kind and helping by nature, when affronted you will explode, and just as suddenly when the pain has passed return to normalcy again. On occasion this quick and vibrant emotionality is translated into a life on the stage or screen. You have a strong sense of right and wrong, but can sometimes be left confused and uncertain in times of stress or when tough decisions must be made. You avoid conflict, tending to stay out of trouble in hopes that the group will benefit most from this behavior. Because you have trouble putting your own needs first, you will be put in much stress if you find yourself in an unequal relationship, one in which your partner is not as giving as you are.

Often concerned with right and wrong, and punctilious in expressing it, you are best represented by the Customs Agent or the IRS inspector. Initially seen by others as cold or uncaring, you are difficult for those more spontaneous members of society to understand. You are extremely stable, responsible and dependable. You manifest an amazing ability to concentrate on the issue at hand, and are difficult to distract from issues that are important. You manifest a great sense of loyalty to your employers and your government. You tend to show love through a display of committed works, believing that actions speak louder than words. You are also resistant to change and tend to believe that the old ways are best. If a behavior has been successful in the past, why would anyone want to change? You work best in a controlled environment.
