The University of Notre Dame student government recently reintroduced a once-banned pro-LGBTQ film festival to campus, prompting a mix of support, controversy and condemnation, including a petition denouncing the event with some 16,000 signatures.
The “GlobaLGBTQ+ Film Festival,” held during the first two weekends of October at the private, Catholic institution, showcased films such as “Chavela,” “Inside the Chinese Closet” and “XXY.”
The films spotlight coming out, questioning gender identity, and other pro-LGBTQ topics. One of the films, “XXY,” includes a scene that has been described as child pornography.
“I am disappointed at this decision of so many campus groups to sponsor a festival, or celebration, of a vision of human sexuality that cannot lead to a flourishing of love in marriage,” Shaun Evans, president of Students for Child-Oriented Policy, told The College Fix.
The non-sectarian Notre Dame student group advocates for traditional marriage and raises awareness about the harms of pornography.

Sickening
Where the hell is the leadership from the school to just say NO to this BS?
I'm a Yuge ND fan and was just there for the ND - UGA game. It's a wonderful place to visit, especially on game day however - you don't see this crap when just visiting for a day or two.
A failure of nerve results in the failure of the leadership of an institution.
Who runs the school?
Seems you could get a degree in sewage studies there.
As someone who seriously considered studies at ND, I wish to add this. When I looked into things, the college appeared to have been captured, hijacked by a Chicago gang of communistic “progressives” (sort of like the New Party and Obama) ...
who were against almost all Judeo-Christian/Biblical teachings. They installed a college president who articulated same. I decided not to go to ND, despite the fact that they had at least one scholar who I would have liked to study with. Looking back on all the pro-abortion and, of course, the honorific doctorate ND’s ruling clique had bestowed on Obama (whose ONLY political act of note at that time was an Illinois bill to legalize murdering babies after birth if the parents wanted them aborted)..... I am SO SO SO VERY GLAD I stayed away from ND! Anybody who sends their kids there, or gives ND money, is...imho, making a huge mistake. And you can find other football teams, too. End of rant.

Probably the football team captains - wanna get ready for the NFL
Good for you! (And I’m not being coy.)
Which school did you attend?
Catholic school?
Yeah, right!
Care about your child’s soul?
Send them somewhere else.
Notre Dame, Our Lady, must be sad.
Notre Dame used to be a Catholic university.
You have to ask? The students, of course. The administrators are cowering in the corner. The professors are brainwashing the dumb kids.
Maybe it’s someone that likes pornography. Anyone that knows homosexuals, knows it’s all about deviant sex with them. They base their whole identity around it.
I watched Blazing Saddles again today, I was 14 when it came out. I wonder how it would play on todays Campus??
I absolutely agree with you. I’ve a 5 yo granddaughter in SC, just starting a relatively conservative kindergarten in the NW. Wife and I have get to get out there to help guide whatever we can.
Moreover, I want to die in the South.
God help me if I’m stranded out here in God forsaken CA.
Understood. Californication has been largely destroyed and turned into an earthly foreshadow of Hell.
The formally Catholic school on the St. Joseph’s River is a fake and a disgrace. Jenkins has killed it and now there is no turning back.
