Is That A Dildo In Your Bookbag Or Are You Protesting A Gun Law?

In Texas You Can Carry A Gun On Campus, But Not A Dildo... WTF?

Recently Texas (of course it's Texas) Governor Greg Abbot passed a law that forced universities to allow people to carry concealed handguns onto campus. Some people are fine with this, but it doesn’t sit well with everyone like University of Texas graduate Jessica Jin who found something odd about this new law. You can carry a gun on campus, but you can’t carry a dildo.

Yep, in Texas (of course it's Texas) you can now hide a glock in your bookbag without getting in trouble, but if you happen to have a 10 inch black dildo, you are breaking the law. Jin decided it would probably be a good idea to point out this irony by asking her fellow students to open carry a dildo. Jin spoke the Houston Chronicle about her protest:

“I did a little research on the rules surrounding dildos in classrooms. When I discovered that it is indeed against UT policy to wave dildos around campus, I just couldn't help myself.”

Using the hashtag #CocksNotGlocks, around 5000 students joined a Facebook group and promised to open carry their dildos on campus the day the “campus carry” law took effect.

“I need this proliferation of dildos to offer people a visual representation of what it would be like if we all carried guns,” she told the Chronicle. “It should look ridiculous to you. That is the point. This is America; if guns and bloodshed don't wake people up, a public celebration of sexuality may just do the trick. We're going to need a lot of dildos.”

Let’s be honest, if you had to choose between a situation where a gun is needed or a dildo is needed, I think we all would prefer to be in the dildo situation.
