"Voluntary all-minority or all-female dorms? As long as neither notably better nor worse than alternatives, can't see too many realistic objections"

Seriously? This is the one of the scariest things I have read on DU. Because if this ever happen then why can't rich white kids not demand non-minority, non LGBT dorms. Because they are white? You have already established that race can be considered in housing and rich white kids need safe spaces too. And once you give it to minorities of any kind, you give it to everyone. 14th amendment folks.

If you support this you may be a leftist, but you are not a liberal. Because if you support this then you do not support the 14th amendment. Not saying you are actively against it, but if this become law then all gains over the last 50 years will be lost.
