The double standard of protest methods pisses me off [View all]
Get Equal did nothing that has not been done in the past over and over by democrats for civil rights. Now its not okay because? I'd love to know the answer why gay people get berated for implanting standard protest methods that other democrats have apparent free reign to do with no push back.
Hetronormative superiority complex gone mad.

Thank you, but if logic and facts were effective in fighting homophobia it wouldn't exist.

I will admit to proudly cheering Ellen Sturtz on this site and on others. She's a hero to me.

It's not her department. It would be like MLK marching against the people in Pueblo, Colorado...

Whatever happened to Skinner's outreach to improve things for DU's LGBT community?

So the DU admins tacitly approve of homophobia through their lack of action?

I support Ellen Sturtz right to do this particularly for the cause she was fighting.
