I don't doubt ABC's intentions but his friend may simply be giving his honest assessment of his friend. I see nothing in any of the articles I have read that indicates that he did it because his roommate was gay and that was what was said in the post I was responding to.

Was the other person he tried to covertly tape and stream to the net gay?

I doubt Ravi is g*y but who would want to watch that anyway? Maybe Ravi is gay. I think Ravi may have been sick of being asked for privacy. He could have said NO. Go to a hotel or something.

Hopefully Ravi will get 5 to 10 in NJ state prison to find out if he is g*y or not.

I agree with other people that the kid should have gone to a hotel. The universities should say no sex in dorms. Students should be able to tell their roommate - no. Go to a hotel. There should be dorm monitors who say no. It is totally screwed up. Colleges are now like 4 year babysitting services.

I still think what Ravi and “Molly” did was awful, they should get jail time and they shoul dbe banned from all U.S. universities including online uni’s.

Let them go through life with no degree.

I should've expanded on my "gut feeling" statement above:

If you pick out a random person in that age group, or a random student at your typical large, "diverse" public university in a left-leaning urban area, you'll probably find someone without too many objections to LGBT things in the world and around campus.

OK, you'll definitely find a good number of people who use "gay" in ways not approved by Wanda Sykes, but the majority of those will find nothing wrong with same-sex unions either. They probably supported (and still support) Obama, use Jon Stewart as a news source (why not--he must be serious, since he's not very funny), and consider the Repressed Religious Right more risible and more dangerous than most anyone on the left.

Even those in his age group who object to homosexuality for one reason or another (I attended a large, left-leaning public university not all that long ago, and I knew a lot of people like that) are probably not going to tape someone for the sake of somehow promoting the general welfare. Has it ever occurred to anyone here to do anything like that for that reason?

It's more likely that Ravi, like many others his age, considers secretly recorded sex acts inherently amusing, and in his case, he went ahead and recorded it. I'd even bet that if no one had found out beyond those whom he wanted to find out, he would've done it again at the next opportunity.
