Why Baylor?

Adam R. Short is a freshman engineering student at Baylor University. He is gay, and he's fighting to get the University to recognize a club to discuss sexuality and fight homophobia.

I have to ask, Adam, why did you choose Baylor? Did you not know it was a Baptist University that's supposed to uphold biblical principles? Did you not know there are other universities that offer engineering degrees that think homosexuality is just A-OK? And what is your definition of homophobia? I daresay it's that anyone who agrees with the Biblical view of homosexuality is a homophobe. And why is it necessary to have a school club to discuss your sexuality? Heterosexuals don't have university-recognized clubs to discuss their sexuality. If you want to talk about sex, perhaps you should see a counselor.
