I'm stunned that you guys are using the antics of Al Sharpton and radical homosexuals to justify this behavior. What Al Sharpton did was despicable and what radical homosexuals do is despicable. Just because they don't get punished does not mean that conservatives need to take it as an invitation to be despicable, too. What's next? "Gee, Bill Clinton got away with rape, adultery, and lies. George Bush needs to commit a few rapes, cheat on his wife, and start lying like a champ. That will sure show them!" Uh, no. We are supposed to be better than they are.

I'm not using Radical Homosexuality to condone with the College pubbies did (can't speak to al sharpton, I assume that was something the other poster said), I'm trying to point out the hyprocrisy of those critizing them. (And I can't spell those complicated words, I'm sorry.)

For one thing, the pubbies were joking around, the homos are not. I admit they were foolish to put the pictures on the web, but this was still all intended as humor. I don't think it's reasonable to attempt to censor humor, no matter how broad, vulger, or even mean-spiritied.

I think homos have a right to parade around dressed up as nuns, or whatever. It's disgusting, but they have the right to do it. I just don't want to be told that I have to pay for it, I have to like it, I can't criticize it. I also think these folks had the right to do what they did. Now they are getting critized for it, which they might have expected. But in terms of throwing them out of school, or shutting down their organization, that is an unacceptable level of response that borders on, if it does not constitute, censorship.
