8. HB 1 - Christian Amendment

Adoption; April 1, 2011; RV #243; Journal Page 1348: 110 Yeas, 24 Nays, 10 Present-not-voting

YCT Yea. Amendment 143 would have required that every university which provides funding, space, or resources for an LGBT or otherwise labeled homosexual resource center be required to provide equal resources to a “Traditional Family Values Center.” YCT brought this measure to the legislature, first and foremost, to bring attention to the fact that taxes and student fees are being used at several universities to promote the homosexual lifestyle.   For example, during the session, it was discovered that the LGBT Resource Center at Texas A&M had spent funds to host a presentation in which students were instructed and encouraged to engage in anal sodomy. YCT does not actually believe that universities should be funding “Traditional Family Values Centers,” but they should certainly not be entering the political fray to fund and staff political centers that promote the homosexual agenda.  Leave the advocacy up to student groups, not paid staff.  Until the practice of funding pro-homosexual centers comes to an end, funding parity is a logical requirement.
