i don't think a GLBT center is a good idea in CS and would become a target for vandalism. as a gay man who grew up in Tx, this is not the town to do this. please, no!
Thank you so much for blogging about my project!!!! We need all of the help we can get! If anyone would like more information, you can find us on Facebook by searching BCS GLBT Community Center!
Thanks again!!!!
We voted!
Texas is in need of a center for LGBT community. It will deffinetly do alot of good in the long run. As a state that struggles alot with diversity it will be a place where many would find comfort and support.
