I was responding to your statement, which didn’t use the word “publicly”; I haven’t been following this closely enough to know details to that level.
Really, I just wanted to interject that taking the word of the college’s spokesman for granted wasn’t necessarily safe from a logic perspective. Nothing particular about this case or Johns Hopkins, even.
You are trying to pick apart and parse his promise to force the college to disinvite him, but it won’t work. He failed to stand up to the gay parade, and that’s the end of it for me.
