Gay Students at Dartmouth to be given Separate Housing
Isn’t this what racists used to call separate but equal? What will happen if a Christian student decides to apply for housing in the new gay dorm? What could go wrong?

Trustees Approve Creation of LGBTQIA Affinity House
During its fall meeting on September 22, the Dartmouth College Board of Trustees approved the construction of The Triangle House for the College’s LGBTQIA students. The vote affirmed the Board’s commitment to the Affinity House, which was previously stated at its June 7, 2013, meeting.
“The Triangle House will be a welcome addition to Dartmouth, and a tangible sign of the Board’s commitment to increase the diversity of social, intellectual, and residential options on campus,” says President Phil Hanlon ’77. “It is also part of Dartmouth’s continuing commitment to having a campus that is inclusive, respectful, and engaged.”
Located at 4 North Park Street, The Triangle House will be a 27-bed facility with a two-bedroom apartment for an adviser.
“By engaging our students outside of the classroom, Living Learning communities such as affinity houses further enhance the core mission of the institution by tying what we learn in the classroom to who we are, what we do, and how we live,” says Dartmouth’s Dean of the College Charlotte Johnson.
The project will reconfigure eight townhouse-style rental units currently on the site into one integrated house. The renovation will include the construction of a communal kitchen, bedrooms, and space to accommodate academic programs and social activities. The construction cost is $3.6 million and work is slated to begin in October 2013 for occupancy in fall term 2014.
The Triangle House’s name carries historic and cultural meaning, explains LGBTQIA adviser Reese Kelly. “LGBTQIA communities often use the upside-down pink or black triangle in reclamation of and reference to the badges gay male inmates were forced to wear during the Holocaust.”

$3.6 million for 27 beds? What in God’s name kind of beds are they?
I guess special elective operations under Øbamacare and recovery units will be next…
If a stereotypical segregationist of old were to walk onto a modern PC campus of today …. they’d be delighted at what they see.
The liberal feminist womyn are at the “Women’s Resource Center” – the blacks are at the “African American Center” – hispanics have a center, as does every other group.
No one is forcing them to segregate, but instead encouraging them to do so and calling it good.
Meanwhile, as I have found in life, the best way to end racism, sexism or [whatever]-ism is to LET people meet, mix, and get to know each other – and they naturally come to realize we have more in common than differences.
The PC ideology is just plain screwed up and bass-ackwards.
I’ll not make this a rant – but this is entirely by design.
Get everyone balkanized into their own little groups, get them to think that “going to a person of authority” to solve all problems (first the Univ. —-> later —> gov’t), and make them distrust and have a greivence with everyone not in their group.
But, people are making careers off it and making money and so they go along with it.
I have often wondered why, if outright hatred racism was not prevelent in “the south” as many records indicate, why the official wrong-headed policies were endorsed and carried out.
We are witnessing exactly the same thing – a powerful elite are invested in it, people are (rightfully so) afraid to speak up against blatant injustices, and it keeps money and power coming to them.
In the same way PC’ism has gone from a proclaimed noble intent to raw naked exercises in blatant hypocrisy, open discrimination, and totalitarian power structures.
A “Gay Only” dorm? And I’m sure they are going to balance that with “Straight Only” dorms in the very next breath.
Of course they’re not. It’s not about “inclusiveness” or “tolerance” – it’s about keeping all identity groups feeding at the perpetual grievence trough and keeping the groups balkanized with every group appealing to the power elites for help.
And it’s by design.
