The Catholic Culture blog is writing about the LGBTQ Resource Center, and surprise, they’re not happy.

It’s futile, as we all know, to point out the conflict between the Catholic view of the human person and Georgetown’s LGBTQ enthusiasms. The university, for its part, views its Catholic heritage as a kind of mascotry, useful in the imagery of alumni loyalty but of no more consequence for its moral decision-making than the colors orange and black are for Princeton’s.

While the author argues that conservative Catholics should not approve of a LGBTQ outreach center, the center’s avowed mission is simply to “support members of the Georgetown community by providing resources and education about the LGBTQ experience and how homophobia and heterosexism affects us all.” Students should not have any reason to fear the university community because of their sexual orientation, and the new Resource Center is designed to accomplish this goal.

Writer Diogenes finishes with an assortment of bizarre observations including attacks on the gay rights movement and changes in LGBTQ perception since the 1940’s. Stick with him, though, and you’ll be treated to the wackiest gay rights slippery slope argument:

Some time ago, in reflecting on a report of consensual cannibalism (undertaken for erotic purposes), your Uncle Di suggested that a student in the Georgetown class of 2023 might end up eating her roommate, consensually, like a spider concluding her mating ritual. One might object vehemently to this prediction, but in so doing one would simply replicate the outraged incredulity we imputed to our 1940s vets at the prospect of dental dams and trans-baths.

Although previous generations of students may have been intolerant of sexual orientation, the Resource Center serves as a positive reminder about the pluralistic and predominantly tolerant student body here at Georgetown.
