Guest Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Took them long enough lol. It's great asexuals are finally getting the attention and representation they deserve. Hmm you report a lot of things. Not only are you a can man, you're our resident handy man too. >:D Link to post Share on other sites
thylacine Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 That is interesting, but maybe I'm wrong - but I thought Loyola was a religious college? If they are a religious college, then I wonder why they have an event like this at all? Link to post Share on other sites

Some Christian universities do have LGBTQ+ clubs even if they are officially against the Queer community. Link to post Share on other sites

Just because they are religious, though, doesn't mean they deny the existence of the LGBT community. I'm Catholic and identify as asexual. Still, I see where you're coming from. I'm kind of confused, too. I'm glad, though. Link to post Share on other sites
daveb Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Yeah, being religious doesn't always mean anti-LGBT. Sounds like a lot of the events there are being organized by students, so maybe it's a reflection of some younger people being more open-minded about such things? And at least the school is letting them do it. Link to post Share on other sites
