Texas : l'Université de Baylor interdira les "actes homosexuels" dans son règlement intérieur.

Baylor University’s student body president vetoed a resolution that would have removed the phrase “homosexual acts” from the university’s sexual misconduct policy.

Student Body President Wesley Hodges told the Student Senate Thursday that the university’s board of regents likely would not have granted final approval for the change to the policy, especially because the full student body had not had a chance to weigh in on the topic.

The senate did not achieve a two-thirds majority to override the veto during a vote in a closed session.

The student senate last week passed the Sexual Misconduct Policy Non-Discrimination Act to drop “homosexual acts” from the policy and instead substitute the phrase “nonmarital consensual deviate sexual intercourse.”

“I truly believe that Baylor treats its students with grace, love and truth, and in doing that seeks to accept all students, but does not affirm all student behaviors,” Hodges said. “Simply because the university disagrees with your actions or lifestyle, does not imply that it is seeking to attack you.”

Trenton Garza, the senate member who sponsored the resolution, argued that the current policy is unfair because it does not also ban all sexual acts between heterosexual students.

Other violations listed in the policy include fornication and sexual abuse, harassment and assault. Garza argued that the current language still allows heterosexual couples to engage in intercourse typically associated with gay couples, while targeting homosexuals for the same sexual behavior.

But he also said the language adds to negative feelings that gay students on campus may experience about their sexuality.

“Something that I feel, as a Christian, is that all too often Christianity is being known for what it is against, rather than what it is for,” Garza said after the meeting. “In light of that, I wanted to show that we are for loving people . . . as small as a wording change really can be, the symbolism can spark something much greater.”

Garza said he also was surprised by Hodges’ veto, which he had not been made aware of until after it was placed on the senate’s agenda.
