Referring to homosexuals as subhuman isn't the best way to express yourself. Besides the obvious fact that homosexuals are human, it's far better to write about what science says on the subject and to mention the growing number of ex-homosexuals.

For instance, science is quite hostile to the born-that-way theory. In other words, there is no such thing as a gay gene. For an excellent overview of what science says, checkout:

Born or Bred? Science Does Not Support the Claim that Homosexuality is Genetic.
Or read the following:

In regards to homosexuals leaving the lifestyle:

I think Miner (the student) would have received less attention had he wrote about the above instead of referring to homosexuals as subhuman.

I agree - although name calling is not (or should not be) a punishable offense. I didn't get from the article exactly how he used the term; was it a chat forum or what.

He also committed the offense of opposing a Gay Straight Alliance group, so people were probably on the lookout for hatespeech crimes.
