Gay ‘themed’ housing arranged at Texas Christian University
“Well I’ve been trying to create a safe space on campus for the queer community. We’re not creating just like a bubble for ourselves, but creating a space where we can have open dialogue and students can be comfortable…. Actually I don’t feel that the Christian and the queer community are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I feel like they’re a lot closer than people realize.”
Shelly Newkirk, a lesbian whose suggestion to have a section for gay student housing at Texas Christian University has been approved. (KDFW)
