This section of my site is by no means intended to be comprehensive
of the LGBT history of Texas A&M, but I wanted to share what I have

And I recently (Oct 2024) obtained some important history. Author Dr Karla Jay
sent me a copy of the Amicus Briefs in the case, both used by the virulent
anti-gay group, Dallas Doctors Against AIDS, and the rebuttal from Jay,
regarding how DDAD vastly distorted the work of Karla Jay and Allen Young.

Dr Jay's rebuttal is first, and around page 12 it is followed by 34 pages from DDAD

They much quoted the infamous Dr Paul Cameron, founder of the
Family Research Institute, who in 1983 was dropped from membership
by the American
Psychological Association and has for over 40 years
has been churning out anti-LGBT rhetoric.
