Traditional family values must have equal time on campus, (Texas) House says

[meegbear]

The Texas House approved a budget provision late Friday requiring state colleges and universities, if they use state funds to support "a gender and sexuality center," to spend an equal amount on a center promoting "family and traditional values."

While many members in the chamber cracked jokes and guffawed, the amendment's author, Rep. Wayne Christian, said the University of Texas, Texas A&M and "some other schools" have centers promoting "alternative sexual practices."

"I'm not treading on their rights to that, to teach alternative sexual behavior," said Christian, R-Center (right). But he said they must match it, dollar for dollar, with advocating heterosexual, "traditional values."

Christian's amendment speaks of any center "for students focused on gay, lesbian, homosexual, bisexual, pansexual, transsexual, transgender, gender questioning, or other gender identity issues."

Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, asked, "What is a pansexual?"

Christian said if Castro would go to UT's or A&M's gender and sexuality centers, "they would teach you."

The vote on the amendment was 110-24.

1. Teach them about "traditional family values"

The sad history of legally protected domestic abuse and marital rape. Traditional values were pathetically immoral.
