John Carroll University, founded in 1886, is a privately controlled, coeducational, Catholic and Jesuit university...As a university, John Carroll is committed to the transmission and extension of the treasury of human knowledge with the autonomy and freedom appropriate to a university. As a Catholic university, it is further committed to seek and synthesize all knowledge, including the wisdom of Christian revelation.I suppose that part of this search for knowledge and Catholic wisdom necessarily includes "The Queer Monologues"...
In the search for this integration of knowledge, the university community is enriched by scholarship representing the pluralistic society in which we live. All can participate freely in the intellectual, moral and spiritual dialog necessary to the search.
Last weekend in the Marinello Little Theatre, the JCU Allies presented "The Queer Monologues," an entirely student written, produced and directed theatrical production.We have gone from the V-Monologues to the Queer Monologues and our search, presumably is not yet finished...Can we not anticipate a diversity of other "Monologues" in the future?
Their message is simple: "It’s okay to be gay. †It’s okay to be straight. †All we ask is that you don’t discriminate!"
The University claims to be "Catholic and Jesuit"...One wonders if it is really either.
