Santa Clara University, a Jesuit school in California, has hosted an on- campus "Rainbow Prom" for "people of all genders and sexualities." “All students are welcome to bring whomever they want to share the night with, but you are encouraged to bring a same-gender date in order to establish a prom environment that caters to LGBTQ students in a way that most proms don’t,” said an event description the Rainbow Prom 2015: Big Queer Party. According to the university newspaper, the prom was hosted by Gay and Straight People for the Education of Diversity (GASPED). "We decide with this event what we want to say to the community,” said GASPED coordinator Kristen Grewe. “We focus on queer empowerment, queer history, the queer movement and what it means to be queer on this campus and in the world.” The prom "has become one of the most popular on-campus events of the year, complete with a DJ, a photo booth and hundreds of students filling Locatelli Activity Center to the brim," the paper said. "The semi-formal attire imitates a high school prom, but there is more to it than the limos and boutonnieres of years past." This aim stems from the high school students that inspired rainbow proms around the country. After two girls were prohibited from attending their prom together, such events began cropping up as a form of resistance and challenge against such strict gendered restraints. Fast forward a few years, and Rainbow Prom at Santa Clara has become one of the most popular on-campus events of the year, complete with a DJ, a photo booth and hundreds of students filling Locatelli Activity Center to the brim. The semi-formal attire imitates a high school prom, but there is more to it than the limos and boutonnieres of years past. ... “I think it’s great that it’s a chance to learn about LGBTQ at our school from their perspective,” said Casey Carstens, a sophomore planning on attending for a second time. “It’s a dance for everyone, which is important, but it’s also a chance to be a better ally.” This Friday, students will relish the opportunity to open their minds and hearts by hearing the voices and experiences of a diverse group of Broncos in the Santa Clara community. And while the spotlight will be on celebrating the diversity of our LGBTQ students, Grewe assures that all are equally welcome. “In the end,” Grewe said, “we still want everybody to just come and dance their pants off.”

They're not confused enough with their pants on? Will there be any Priests there with their Cub Scout dates?

Not to be confused with Gay People for the Education of Diversity (GAPED).
More evidence that it is a choice and not born that way.
God damn the catholic church for its proselyzation of serious psychopathology.
Not to be confused with Gay People for the Education of Diversity (GAPED). LOL... Paging homo-san.
“We focus on queer empowerment, queer history, the queer movement and what it means to be queer on this campus and in the world.” I think we're all pretty much up to speed as to what being a homo means...in whatever feces-smeared, crab-infested, rug-munching world these sickos get their freak on. This so-called, 'Rainbow Prom 2015: Big Queer Party' is just one big Indoctrination Center for Perversion. IN YOUR FACE. But at WHAT point should the sane, normal community be respected and have a right NOT to be infringed upon by loud-mouth, disease-carrying, vermin,rampant vulgarity, and public orgies championed and endorsed by a so-called "institution of higher learning"??
The Jesuits have not taught the Gospel for quite some time. This event shows it.

I think he's hanging out at Populist Voice. “Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”
HEH! No!?! Well then, lemme check it out....LOL, chyeah, RIGHT.
Yeah I can only imagine what is going on over that bastion of secular humanism.

Actually nothing. Tried going there and it went nowhere, other than a message that said "Coming in Jan 2015".

We probably "pre blocked" by Pegler. When I use the link from LP or type in the link, it goes to a search page and that's it. TC may know more about Pop Voice.

No. The skeleton site has been pulled down entirely. Maybe he abandoned it or found the price to do a database-driven site would be too high. Or he reconsidered whether people would want to post at a forum where the articles are only linked. And the name 'populist' doesn't have the most impeccable reputation. Of course, it could return at any time. He had to buy the domain name for at least a year. He could always bring it back as a free Wordpress site or similar.
Did YOU have to do a lot of thinking before making your "decision" to be heterosexual instead of homosexual? I had no choice to make. I was a raging heterosexual before I even knew what sex was,and have never even been slightly tempted to have sex with a man. I can only assume it was this way for most other people,both heterosexual and homosexual. The only people that have a choice are bi-sexuals.

You're stupid.
LOL! Now,answer the question. How long did you have to struggle with your decision to be a heterosexual instead of a homosexual?

A penis is made for a vagina dumbass. You're st f'n stupid.
You're st f'n stupid. I'm not the one that was so confused about that I needed to make a choice.

Good for you. Some people are. As you mentioned in your first comment.
A place to discuss hydrogen technology maybe? :)

No it doesn't, and that was explained to him too.

Indeed. However, he was not taking any advice from a "fundie" like me:) Poor business decisions are made based on people's stereotypes.

Firefox can't find the server at www.populistvoice.com I saw the site a week or so ago, but nothing was active, just a few headlines which were dead links. Above is what I got yesterday and today.
Maybe he will come up here to let us know what is going on. Then again maybe we should check the FEMA camps to see if he was taken there:)

They would put him in charge of the place just because of the name he picked for his site, they would think he is one of them.
