The Baylor Lariat
''The Baylor Lariat'' is the student newspaper of Baylor University in Waco, Texas.

The piece, which was supported by five of the editorial board's seven members, elicited a response from Robert B. Sloan Jr., who served as Baylor University president at the time. In a written statement, he claimed that he and many of the students, alumni, and parents were "justifiably outraged". See also *L ...

Homosexual Orientation
Homosexuality is romantic attraction, sexual attraction, or sexual behavior between people of the same sex or gender. As a sexual orientation, homosexuality is "an enduring pattern of emotional, romantic, and/or sexual attractions" exclusively to people of the same sex or gender. It also denotes identity based on attraction, related behavior, and community affiliation.
