For now, UNT’s Homecoming Court will retain its traditional heterosexual structure as a result of last night’s Student Senate meeting.

The senate voted against a bill to amend the Student Government Association’s bylaws to allow same-sex couples to run for positions on the Homecoming Court.

School of Merchandising and Hospitality Management senator Christopher Passafiume, author of the bill, answered questions about the legislation and promoted it during the discussion.

“All I’m asking for is the acknowledgement of all types of couples,” he said.

The bill generated considerable controversy among students, parents and alumni.

3. Because they are moving here, in droves.

Do couples run for homecoming?

I though a queen and king were elected, and they were usually not a couple.

9. You assume every UNT student or Senator is a Texan.

Or, that every UNT student or Senator from Texas voted against the amendment.

"Stupid people", indeed.

4. Do you people have "Texas" in google alerts?

Every irrelevant story regarding Texas gets posted here.
Then you whine when people shit all over Chicago, California, etc.

He posts all kinds of news articles every day on here.

8. If it is true that the couple members are usually called "Homecoming

King and Queen" and kings and queens are historically male and female, respectively, one can see their point. Can't one?

Maybe have some sort of change such that they are called "Homecoming Couple."

11. Or, just keep the appellation and open the voting up to either gender.

That way, the King and Queen can either be both male, both female, or one of each.
