Hollywood actress Jada Pinkett Smith may have been honored as Artist of the Year Saturday at Harvard University, but her speech ruffled some feathers among the Ivy League school's gay community.

The Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance is reportedly taking issue with Smith's remarks as being too specific to heterosexual relationships, according to The Harvard Crimson.

``Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable,'' BGLTSA co-chairman Jordan Woods told the Crimson.

The fallout comes as Harvard President Lawrence Summers continues to come under fire for comments made about women and science during a speech last month.

The BGLTSA has called for an apology from the Harvard Foundation for Intercultural and Race Relations, which brought Pinkett Smith to campus.

Both groups are working together to ``increase sensitivity towards issues of sexuality at Harvard,'' according to the Crimson.

Yannis Paulus of the foundation's student advisory committee said the actress was talking about her own life. ``She wasn't trying to be offensive,'' Paulus told the Crimson.

While neither group specified what Pinkett Smith said that was so offensive, a previous edition of the Crimson included a quote from the actress from the event at Sanders Theater.

``Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,'' she said. ``They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it.''

Leave it to a few gender benders to make something up, in order to feel offended!

I feel offended every time I hear the MSM call terrorist "insurgents" but, I don't see any liberals falling over themselves to bring attention to that matter, and making any changes to stop it!

>"Heteronormative."

Very common condemning word on our PC campuses these days.

[johniegrad]

Needs to be in "Breaking".

[paratrooper82]

So someone please tell me again about the millions of Americans who are going to stampede to the polls in November and vote for the liberal democrats, who will make it against the law to stand up in public and make any statement like that, especially if it offends the gender benders.

So now you can't talk about hetereosexual relationships or you might offend gays?

Screw 'em.

I was born into a whole different world than the one I now find myself living in. It's like I'm living in bizarro-America now. When is the moral backlash going to happen?

[durasell]

Would you prefer that everything stayed the same or that you get to pick and choose the changes?

``Women, you can have it all - a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,'' she said.

Yep, seems pretty offensive to me!(sarc)

[panthermom]

AMEN!!!! What in the heck, heteronormative??? Thank the Lord these idiots cannot reproduce.

[hnj_00]

"yeah, nobody's calling her on this nonsense"

if anyone did....they would be racist!!!!!

[Iconoclast2]

Moral backlash is illegal in bizarro-America, and will be punished as a hate crime.

Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable

Ohfercryinoutloud...........and these packers make the news, why???

[tx_eggman]

Heteronormative

As opposed to .... homoabnormative ?

[jeremiah]

Ever listen to Dennis Prager? He has an axiom that the more education, the less "smart" the person becomes. In his way, he believes that higher education warps and destroys the wisdom gained in life experience, and replaces knowledge with pablum. It is on here when Rush is, so I listen daily.

"The Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance"

Guess I just don't get it.....why do the Bi's, gays, lesbo and transwhatevers need supporters??? Unless maybe they're all going out for the football team.....

[UB355]

That was my recollection too 2005

[longtermmemmory]

This is just more proof that homosexuals are really really mental deviants.

Jada better NOT appologize to these irreleant sex freaks.
