StudCo condemns 'not gay' chant in resolution
Council passes unanimous legislation rejecting homophobic jeers during Universitys Good Ol Song
By Emily Hutt, Jordan Bower | Sep 19
Student Council Tuesday evening unanimously approved a resolution condemning the insertion of the not gay chant into the Good Ol Song, commonly sung at athletic events. The chant has come under scrutiny several times in the past decade and has become increasingly unpopular as support for gay rights has increased across the country.
Using the proposed resolution, Council seeks to take a stand against the chanting of the unscripted phrase a phrase that members see as contrary to the safe and welcoming environment the University seeks to provide to all its students. Council members said they hoped the legislation would be a step toward ending disrespectful or derogatory acts toward LGBTQ communities and supporters.
