University offers pro-LGBTQ students cotton candy, coloring to ease their anxieties
The College Fix ^ | May 04, 2023 | College Fix Staff

Portland State University will offer its pro-LGBTQ students cotton candy and coloring for a week to celebrate trans and gender-nonconforming students and provide support for those troubled by emerging legislation across the nation that seeks to protect female-only spaces.

A memo written by President Stephen Percy cites growing “anti-trans bills in legislatures across the country” and pledges to provide a “safe space for all members of the LGBTQAI+ community.”

Although the memo does not explicitly state it, the safe space is likely a response to a visit by free-thinking scholars and gender critical activists to debate the issue of giving children puberty blockers and other medical procedures at Portland State University.

With that, the public institution will host “Trans and Gender Expansive Celebration and Community Hour” each day for a week from noon to 1 p.m. in its Queer Resource Center. On hand will be cotton candy, temporary tattoos and coloring, according to the memo.

The university will also host “T-Time” trans social spaces on Fridays as well as a Sexual and Gender Minority Youth Resource Center, described in the memo as a “safe, harassment-free space for queer and trans youth ages 13-23.”

And these are college ready and fit people? Sounds more like a mental institution

Safe spaces. When I was in college my safe space was a dive bar with a cheap pitcher and a friend.

Many college students are having AI write their papers—what’s college for? Partying? Sex changes and sex exploration?

It looks like that’s where they’re heading with our military,

Very little thought required for this one.

This is simply children going to college to get a major in “Kindergarten”.

Give them candy, coloring books, playdough, and afternoon naps.

Future Captains of Industry.

> safe space for all members of the LGBTQAI+ community <

It seems like every week they add another letter or another symbol to that description.
I wonder what they’ll do when they run out of letters.

Anyway, I’m guessing the “I”stands for insane. But I could be wrong.

Exactly. We are turning our kids into basket cases. What the Hell are they going to do when they have a mortgage and kid and lose their job?

Communist Indoctination centers and parents foot the bill? Please do not call them higher learning colleges.

A lot of universities and colleges are pretty much mental institutions.
