Many wondered why the university would allow such a speaker to come to campus at all. Protestors gathered outside of Hyland Hall during the event chanting “We are here, we are queer,” among other statements against the speaker’s stance. The shift of gender roles and gender identity was dissected, explaining that Walsh believes that gender is not a construct, and that there is no spectrum -only sexes of male and female. A man and a woman can create life, whereas two men or two women cannot. Walsh made arguments opposing same-sex marriage, saying that heterosexual relationships and same-sex marriages are not the same. “I am excited to be partnering with Young America’s Foundation to host one of today’s most prominent conservative figures on campus to promote and encourage that same environment of civil discourse and the sharing of thoughts and ideas on how our great country can be improved upon.” One of my primary goals is to foster the freedom of speech and diversity of thought here on campus,” said UW-Whitewater College Republicans Chairman John Beauchamp. “In the face of the constant liberal bias on campus, the UW-Whitewater College Republicans are proud to be the conservative voice for students at Whitewater.
The speaker came the same week that UW-Whitewater also hosted its annual Diversity Forum. The UW-Whitewater College of Republicans hosted conservative commentator Matt Walsh, who presented “The War on Reality: Why the Left has set out to redefine life, gender and marriage” to over 290 attendees Monday, Oct.
