Resolution SS0910-09, titled "A Resolution Proposing the Review of Notre Dame's Policies Regarding Homosexual Members of Our Community," was proposed by Robyn Grant and Patrick Tighe, co-chairman of the Committee on Gender Issues.
In addition to referencing the 96 Catholic universities that already have existing Gay-Straight Alliances, Grant encouraged all Notre Dame students to draw upon their faiths and moral values to create a more welcoming campus for the LGBT community.
