NC State LGBT Center. The most up-to-date news right here.
Alright… It has been a while. Here’s your latest update on the anti-gay bigotry, hate and prejudice oozing from our “highly respected” institution of higher education: NC State University.
All of it started when the NC State Student Senate approved a proposal in support of an LGBT student center. Debate on campus and on a Facebook group entitled “Students Against NCSU LGBT Center,” soon followed. The issue even made an appearance in one of my Don’t Ask (I’m Telling) opinion columns in The Carolinian (UNCG).
The latest comments haven’t been as bad as some of the comments made in the past, but they’re certainly the kind of language or thinking you’d expect from supposed “privileged” students attending one of our state’s “finest” universities.
Some of the statements are just plain ignorance and that’s it… like student Chelsey Willoughby who stated: I am not against gay people! Thats not why I joined this group. I join b/c there is no necessary reason why they are building this center. Everyone has problems, and everyone is judged and picked on at least once in thier life, but nobody bitches about it, with the exceptions of gays! If this occured everytime there was a social difference there would be more FWG (Fat White Girl) center’s than McDonalds!
I guess Ms. Willoughby didn’t happen to notice all the institutionalized and Constitutionalized discrimination against LGBT people. Fat white girls don’t have that problem. If the government placed fat white girls in a place of second-class citizenship, they’d have a right to “bitch” too.
Student Paul Der Ohannesian (pictured right, although he’s changed his current pic from the hot pink, sending me some straight-up gaydar signals one) makes another appearance (see NC State rears… #7) with more of his extreme ignorance and prejudice: i dont see what the big deal about the suicide rate being 3x higher is. its there choice to be gay, and being gay is not right so if its their choice then it is what it is. if they straightened themselves out the dpression and suicide wouldnt be there. they need to think before they act
Ohannesian continues with a longer, more in-depth, more hate-filled post, as well:
how was my post hateful? if you want to have rapists and fags in society then by all means you can pay for this center. and since you want it so bad, lets discuss how you can pay for my part of the tuition increase that way i wont have to pay for something i dont want. it is not my problem that these people were raised wrong. if you look at some of their facebook profiles one faggit was dressed like a fairy. the worst are the “girls” who cut their hair short and look EXACTLEY like a dude. totally disgusting and unacceptable. look what kind of role models these people are. if they werent in society the influence for people to be gay wouldnt be here. it would be nice if our ranking goes to number 1 for not accepting of them because i sure as heck dont want my friends to think i support this kind of garbage.
In response that whopper, student Matt Smith had this to say: yeah im really tired of fags asking to be treated as equals but they all want specials rights and centers and what not, when they build me a center I MIGHT help pay for a fag center…but I dont think either one of them two is gonna happen anytime soon
This stupidity, hate and ignorance just isn’t going to end is it? So much for North Carolina having “young, promising and bright” leaders for the future. If these fools ever get into power as the “leaders” of the “next generation,” we are all in serious trouble.

Welcome to InterstateQ.com, the commentary and opinion blog of civic journalist and progressive, LGBT activist Matt Comer. Hailing from Winston-Salem, N.C., Matt, 26, now lives in Charlotte, where he works as editor of 
THAT’S a college student writing that? Even grammatically he sounds like a retard. If that’s the typical college level of thinking down there, no wonder everyone is so resentful of Duke students.
“when they build me a center I MIGHT help pay for a fag center…”
So, are they going to build a moron center?
Joe, Duke wasn’t much better just a few years ago. They were at the top of the same worst campuses for LGBT students lists that NC State now finds itself on (NC State is number 17, Duke was like in the top 10). The Administration of Duke realized then, after so many years of pushing by LGBT students and faculty, that the campus had to do something to help students live, work, learn and grow in a safe and accepting campus atmosphere.
Hopefully, the Administration of NC State will stand up for what needs to be done, as opposed to standing for more prejudice and hate, like that espoused by these students.
recent studies have shown that all gay men over the age of 30 have to put on diapers after leaving the hospital because there ass can no longer hold in shit because of years of penetration….in other words matt comer aka fag leader it’s not natural
What “recent study”? What’s the name of it? Where’s the link to the website of the researchers, or better yet a link to the study itself?
Just saying “recent studies” doesn’t convince anybody of anything… Where’s the study? What study is it? Without giving anyone a source your words are no better than me saying “Recent studies have shown that the dobedas of the world are full of shit.”
By the way… when you used the word “there,” you should have used the word “their.” I know the difference between the words might be difficult for you to adequately understand, so I just thought I’d let you know. Oh and another thing: Punctuation can be a goo thing, too.
Oh, darned… One more thing; I almost forgot. Does anyone know when I became the leader of a cigarette?
Oh darned… I knew I’d forget something…
It shouldn’t be too hard to guess where dobeda goes to school. Just thought I’d throw that out there.
I am against the LGBT center, I am an ncsu student. Do I hate gay people? No.
I am against the center because my money goes to pay for part of it, and I am heterosexual. I read in the Technician (ncsu student newspaper) that the center has barely gotten any use. And really, what do gay people need a center for? There is no heterosexual center.
Again, don’t label me as a hater of gay people, but we are all supposed to be EQUALS, and by creating this center that puts and end to that. I wouldn’t mind if a gay person built and financially supported the center by themself, I could care less, but for me to have to pay for part of it?
Since I have written a lot I will summarize my points, showing why I am against the LGBT center.
-The center is FOR homos, and I am straight. Why do I need to pay for it?
-What is the point of a “center”?
-The center isnt being used according to Technician
-Having a homo-center kinda takes away from the equal treatment…
-Also, ofcourse, I do not understand why people are gay, it is disgusting and unnatural, that being said gay people can do whatever they want and I dont hate them, I just dont want to have to pay for their center, they can make their own out of their money.
I wrote this post because I felt like venting, I didnt join the facebook group because I felt if people saw I joined that they would think I hate homo people, which is not the case.
Cameron, you don’t hate gay people? I guess that’s why you use pejorative terms like “homo” and “homo-center” and say, “it is disgusting and unnatural.”
Okay, so maybe you don’t really hate us, but you certainly don’t think we’re equal to you and you certainly aren’t giving us our full dignity and human worth.
It boggles my mind that straight people say they are the ones being discriminated against when services are created to help minorities who continued to be discriminated against in almost every area of their life.
Alright, I just want to make sure that people who may read this know that not everyone at NC State is ignorant.
For one: When saying you don’t hate someone, it doesn’t make much sense to use derogatory phrases when describing them.
“I don’t hate black people, but those niggers are always stealing my shit”
See what i mean?
Now, as a student of NC State who is against the LBGT center for many of the same reasons that people above posted, I want to state it in a more sophisticated and accepting manner.
- I am a straight, conservative, 22 year old male.
Personally, I feel like there is no need for a center for people in the LBGT community. I may be wrong since I am not a part of it, but I don’t feel like it would get adequate use. Most things on campus do not. Also, there are plenty of other ways for people to organize and get together on campus. I personally am in the Zoology club at State. If there was a club or something maybe that could be a way to organize that did not require tuition money. All in all, I feel like I don’t personally see what I am paying for anyway, so if it goes to an LBGT center, so be it. I guess I really don’t care that much.
Cameron, that is how you write a response that says ” I don’t hate gay people, but I have an opinion”. Since you obviously came up way short
IM SCREAMIN
What a bunch of ignorant asses. I’m gay. Who needs a center??
Being gay is as natural as sex itself. It extends far beyond your idiotic religions. Much of the math and science you are studying was developed by men who were likely homosexuals. History is filled with the great accomplishments of homos. The reality is a great number of you belong in community colleges; where you can spout your ignorance and learn a trade. I’m sure you feel your white blood has superiority…snooze. Get your degrees; buy a Hundaii and fall victim to the next housing scam. Marry some uptight bitch who listened to her mother screaming and believes that is the best way to communicate with you. Divorce her and make $600 monthly payments to support the two kids she will work to turn against you–if you’re lucky you can kick in a few bucks for her student loans and alimony.
Yo folks. Wake up and live. In the end you will be sitting in a wheelchair at a retirement home; abandoned by your children b/c they’re too busy or didn’t appreciate your overbearing righteousness (aka butting into their lives). Try to make sure YOU had a life that was memorable because no amount of money or grandstanding will carry you thru. Your grandparents had WWII and the pride that came with fighting for something. WHAT WILL YOU CONTRIBUTE?? Yelling about a lifestyle that predates you and is a part of our natural existence?
This article is very upsetting and reflects badly on my university. NC State has come a long way since when this article was first posted. Also, I shouldn’t have to lecture on the importance of misrepresentation. Just because these students attended NC State doesn’t reflect the entire university and it’s faculty, staff, and student’s beliefs. There is actually a YouTube video of NC State students discussing topics related to the theme “It Gets Better.” This article should be removed because it slanders NC State as an institution. Our university is stellar which is just one of many reasons why President Barack Obama paid us a visit. Prejudice will be found at every institution. It just so happens that NC State does in fact have one stereotype of having redneck conservatives, there are a lot of these “characters” and this may be due to the fact that our university has a top notch agricultural problem but this statement in it’s entirety is a stereotype and stereotypes are misrepresentations. As a student at NC State, a male, Southern Baptist, Conservative, and someone who has homosexual friends and isn’t judgmental, I think it’s safe to say stereotypes can be broken and are not viable. Go Wolfpack!

I’m sorry, but, with the exception of very very few and important cases, I do not remove previously published posts or articles from my site. Such is common policy at blogs and other news-media agencies the world over. The post has a date on it. Anyone truly interested can see that this is an old article with information that might not be accurate today.
