UMN safe space only for ‘same-gender-loving people of color’
The University of Minnesota offers a program called “Tongues Untied” that is reserved exclusively for “People of Color who identify as LGBTQIA and/or Same-Gender-Loving.”
According to the university’s website, “the group serves to connect students, staff, faculty, and the Twin Cities community by holding discussion groups that focus on how race, sexuality, and gender impact our lived experiences.”
Specifically, the program involves “social and educational gatherings for U of M students,” “discussions and panels for local public school Gay-Straight Alliances,” and collaborations with “local community organizations of color.”
The website makes very clear that “Tongues Untied” is not intended for white and/or straight students, posting a disclaimer stating, “For our allies: we do appreciate your voices and commitment to dismantling racism and homophobia; however, please note that this is a space created for LGBTQIA and/or same-gender-loving people of color.”
The University of Minnesota is a public, four-year university, and Tongues Untied is run by the school’s “Gender and Sexuality Center for Queer and Trans Life.”
“Tongues Untied (TU) is a space that was created by and for indigenous people and people of color who identify as queer and/or trans,” the group’s Facebook page states, adding, “If you identify as a queer and/or trans indigenous person or person of color, we welcome you to take part in our discussions.”

Comments
Federal funding should stop to any institution that promotes or accepts activities like this.
As an alum, the U of M has looooooong ago crossed the barrier to the other side of my giving envelope. I am ashamed to claim graduation from this once fine university.
I hope some straight white person sues. I could have sworn that this kind of ban was prohibited.
Due to poor wording, I cannot tell if this is open only to LGBetc of Color, or if a white faggot is allowed to participate.
This has been illegal since 1964, when the GOP passed the Civil Rights Act. It is not a close case. It is out and out illegal and a Federal crime because this establishment takes Federal money.
Given how the left uses the term, I struggle to discern the difference between “ally” and “servant”.
