Texas A&M Student Senate Backs Homophobic Measure
So basically, the closed minded Senate at Texas A&M University just signed a registration that cut the funding for our GLBT resource center which is already receiving limited funding into half. They will spend that money on a Traditional and Family Values" Centers promoting heterosexualityr.
This goes against the will of LGBT students at Texas A&M University as well as our allies.
We set up a petition on change.org (which is an effectively online petition method to create pressure on law maker and legislature). We need as much signature as we can to veto that legislation or at least raise enough awareness of the discrimination at TExas A&M University.

Camden Breeding, President of GLBT Aggies at Texas A&M University sent us an online petition against the bill, which could cut funding for the University's first queer organization in half.
Jesus Reyes, who graduated from Texas A&M in 2010, admits to The American Independent that campus climate necessitates the center:
