Nothing like this to stop most alumni donations.

I stopped donations to my alma mater when it became apparent that the editors were repeatedly glorifying a homosexuality agenda in "their" alumnae magazine issues. Not that it made much difference but I dare to think that I was one of many ex-donators after that point.

"The office helps students deal with cases of “homophobia, heterosexism, and transphobia…”"

Three made-up words being used by an institution of highre learning. Freakin' sad.

Hmm, nothing about lesbians' freakishly unnatural hatred for males. I guess they get a free pass.

Colleges teaching classes on sex fetishes and regarding it as educational matter. Well, I guess when you allow children to make their own meals, all they will eat is candy and cake.

The study of queers would be of value if the true condition of this perversion were revealed. But it will probably be a politically correct pass.

Queers do disgusting things to each other including butt banging and hanging around Greyhound Bus station latrines at midnight.

The most prominent feature of homos is that they target the young for the most part. They are unable to form normal relationships with either men or women.

Googling up "queer theory" brings up all sorts of stuff:

"Queer Theory
What does the word "queer" make you think of? Let's start by listing some free associations on the board.

The word "queer" in queer theory has some of these connotations, particularly its alignment with ideas about homosexuality. Queer theory is a brand-new branch of study or theoretical speculation; it has only been named as an area since about 1991. It grew out of gay/lesbian studies, a discipline which itself is very new, existing in any kind of organized form only since about the mid-1980s. Gay/lesbian studies, in turn, grew out of feminist studies and feminist theory. Let me tell you a little about this history. (It's interesting in its own right, because it is literally happening under our noses, in our classrooms, at this moment; it's also interesting as a way of seeing how theoretical movements or schools grow out of other schools, as we've already seen with the bricolage that emerges from Saussure to Derrida to Lacan to Cixous and Irigaray)."

How lame must you be if you have to study perversity to be perverse?

And how perverse must you be if you have no time in your schedule to study anything that isn't?

DePaul is filled with people who wanted to go to school in Chicago more than its filled with Catholics, it seems. A lot of schools work that way, sadly.

Then you have the crowd who goes to Emory or WashU or BC because they couldn't get into Cornell or Penn. It creates a lovely air on campus, I promise you.

You would think that a Catholic University would be an excellent candidate for offering to help students deal with cases of 'hetrophobia'...

Quotes by Saint Vincent de Paul:

“He who allows himself to be ruled or guided by the lower and animal part of his nature, deserves to be called a beast rather than a man.”

“As it is most certain that the teaching of Christ cannot deceive, if we would walk securely, we ought to attach ourselves to it with greatest confidence and to profess openly that we live according to it, and not to the maxims of the world, which are all deceitful. This is the fundamental maxim of all Christian perfection.”6

When will Cardinal George exercise his canonical responsibilities and censure the DePaul, place it under interdict or something of that sort?

I am not holding my breath.

Saint Vincent de Paul, whose body remains incorrupt to this day, would be horrified by the shameful developments at DePaul University.

What is it that drives heteros to "celebrate" sodomy? How bizarre is that?
