Whereas the Mission
Statement of the University of Louisville is committed to diversity,
which includes gay men and women in domestic partnerships.
Whereas the Gay
Rights Movement is our generation's Civil Rights Movement.
Whereas the world
needs more Love.
Whereas gay
partnerships represents egalitarian ideals that would benefit
heterosexual couples.
Whereas it is
nobody's business what two consenting adults are doing in their
private quarters.
Whereas passing a
Resolution isn't an Act, but instead seeks to express the will
of the main advocate of the Student Body, as both SGAs from North
Carolina State University and University of Maryland demonstrated
this year12,
as well as other Student Union representatives have done on many
other issues3.
Whereas it's the
right thing to do.
THEREFORE, BE IT DECLARED
AND RESOLVED, that students at the University of Louisville are
henceforth allowed to enter into legal same-sex partnerships.
