First off, the statement that Connolly claimed that "homosexuals should not work in childcare" is a flat out lie. Secondly, the attempt to tie this fliers to a demand for gay marriage benefits and a resource center makes me a bit suspicious about their origin. I do not know of the fraternity in question - maybe some Pitt grads can fill me in.

Do you have the text of the "homophobic" flyer in question?

[cincinnati_Steve]

This chick needs to pay better attention in English. "Events" don't "exist"...they "happen". The whole piece is written in child-like prose, like much liberal ranting.

They want their own center for the gays, lesbians, etc? They don't want equal opportunity and protection...this is proof they demand preferences. Tell 'em to pound sand.

[RAT Patrol]

It doesn't appear to me that the guy is scared of gays at all or he wouldn't have stood up to the issues and written a letter.

The really "homophobics" are the people whose conscience tells them it is wrong but fear being labeled a "hater" and cave in.

As far as gays in childcare....it bugs me that sexual behavior is even brought up in regards to children. Do we say "adulterers can't be in childcare" or "fornicators can't be in childcare"? Puhleease get real! Shut up about sex. Are you a criminal? Do you know how to change diapers and prepare formula? Do you have a cheerful disposition? Can you handle not flaunting any kind of sexual anything for a few hours while you babsit? These are the questions that matter.

Oh, I thought it was an airline incident.

[ppaul]

The flier incident is proof that our campus is in need of educational resources to battle prejudice in all underrepresented communities on campus.....

Blah, blah, blah, ad nauseaum.
Puke.

This is so timely in that I was asked not to return to the local AM/PM because I would only have their straight employee behind the counter wait on me, the customer. I was told by the manager not to come back to the store located on Bundy Canyon off I-15 in Riverside County not because I made a stink just because I refused to switch lines and have their queer wait on me! I think we ought to let the company know and those who act this way they stink and won't get our business. I just couldn't believe it!

[jackliberty]

There have been enough "racist", "anti-semitic" or other hateful acts where the "victim" turned out to be the perpetrator, that this incident should be taken with a grain of salt.

This particular incident may, or may not have been crafted by some lonely, pathetic individual (or group) looking for attention, though.

With the article tying in the same sex health care, it may be from a sweetheart of a professor. Or maybe, even, a contractor looking to score big with a contract on the GLBTQ community center.

Since Cincinnati_Steve recalls a similar controversy at his school, the question becomes: Who would duplicate the flyer, some frat boys going out their way to make themselves look stupid or the GLBTQ/NAMBLA set looking for endowments, special accommodations, acceptance, etc?

[Kozak]

I will bet anyone 100 dollars that the fliers that appeared are the product of some homosexual activist looking to drum up an "issue".

[Britton J Wingfield]

GLBTQ? Sounds like a sandwich!)

Ack! horrible mental image, must poke out own eyes in self defense...

[arly]

I could never understand how they came up with the PC title homophobia...phobia meaning fear... Most of us straight people are actually more homonasseaus... there filthy lifestyle makes us sick not scared!

[Lazamataz]

Homophobics can be bad, but HEMOPHELIACS are much, much worse.

[Red Jones]

I read the whole thread and I didn't get to see or read the homophobic flier, how frustrating!!!

[hinckley buzzard]

This flier must evoke a response.

That's right by golly, can't have all this freedom of the press and everything, especially on a college campus.

Why, letting people express an independent opinion--that's just unAmerican, that's what it is. (Sigh), What's a queer to do?

[StopGlobalWhining]

Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer/Questioning (GLBTQ) (my note - the list of "sexual minorities" keeps getting bigger and bigger! GLBTQ? Sounds like a sandwich!)

But wait- there's more. Save room for P. P for pedophile. And T for Transvestite. Transgendered are not the same as transvestites.

If anyone thinks I am joking about pedophiles being added to the ever expanding list of protected sexual deviants, I am not. Just remember back a couple of years ago when Dr. Laura publicized the American Psychological Association journal articles defending adult-child relationships as long as the child "consented".

Sick, deviant, sick, deviant.
