Ah. My Glorious Home State
Of course I would be planning to move back to Virginia to go to school right around the same time the asshole attorney general from the state decided to forbid sexual-orientation anti-discrimination legislation. Gee thanks dickwad; why don't be start giving out stimulus checks for hate-crimes while we're at it.
This makes me actually sick to my stomach, to know that there are people out there who can sleep well at night having practically invited institutions of higher learning to pick and choose their students based off who they sleep with at night. I don't CARE that you think it's immoral. Isn't it enough for you to believe in your heart of hearts that I will burn in hell for the rest of eternity? Why do you have to start hounding me in this lifetime? Please point me out the passage in the Bible where Jesus stated, "And learning shall only be reserved for those who only fuck those of the opposite sex?"
Now I have faith that UVA, being a well-respected university with some dignity, is not about to dust off their hands and say, "Well finally," and start shoving homosexuals out the door. (Really any institution that does is probably not worth the paper their diplomas are printed on.) But the fact that right now the state of Virginia is not just ALLOWING discrimination of any kind, but is flat out FORBIDDING it from being discouraged is despicable and I think is far greater threat to our free society than anything Glenn Beck has been crying about.
(Although now that I think of it, wouldn't it be great if (in protest, not seriously) a school found a way to discriminate against STRAIGHT students. I realize there would be no fair way of going about that, and I wouldn't want to actually deny any straight students a fair shot at a place in a program, I just really love the thought of the attorney general trying to talk his way out of that cluster-fuck. "But sir, you said we weren't allowed to ban discrimination based on sexual-orientation. You didn't specify which one....)
