Seems like all of the uproar on TCU designating housing for gays and lesbians has actually hit home. As I mentioned in my post on the subject this is just not an acceptable thing for a supposedly "Christian" University to be doing when the Bible clearly states that homosexuality is a sin.

Texas "Christian" University (sarcasm mine) has abruptly changed its decision to allow themed housing that would include a space set aside for homosexuals and their supporters.

The local Dallas Morning News reports:

Texas Christian University has abruptly shelved plans to create more themed housing programs this fall, including one for students interested in gay and lesbian issues.

Monday's decision follows a national uproar, played out on blogs and media Web sites last week, over TCU's plans to reserve a block of rooms in a campus apartment complex for gay and straight students wanting to learn about issues of sexual orientation and gender identity.

TCU Chancellor Victor J. Boschini Jr. said the national attention over the gay-related housing theme did not drive his decision to backtrack on themed housing.

"The biggest complaint we got from people was not about any single group but about having these groups in general," said Boschini, whose decision reverses the approval of eight new housing pods, including the gay and lesbian-themed unit. The others – patriotism, Christianity and marine biology, for examples – didn't appear to be controversial.

Okay does Chancellor Boschini really expect us to believe that this decision was not influenced by the national uproar against the proposed gay housing block? If the president of the University didn't get on the phone and tell someone that they had better get this under control then he just isn't doing his job. All this negative publicity is not doing anything for their reputation.

Now I do see the point of not having any housing that separates students from the rest of them. But I really don't think that this was the biggest complaint the the University got.

Finally a victory for Godliness!
