Assaulting A Gay at Rutgers : OK? Anywhere: OK?
I was reading a fellow blogger’s talk about what should be happening at Rutgers Unversity in view of assaults and Homophobia, which the main media is ignoring. NO player had to be taken to the hospital and I heard one say that the tape had ben doctored. But how about all the calls of calling these guys F**- sizzz’ys -girls - etc etc. What damage is coming out of that? Well you are going to have a bunch of homophobic getting a homo degree at Rutgers. A lot of nasty things have been occurring there but no body care to find out why. May be it starts with this type of teachers, Directors and administrators that when watching the tape tried to bury it and no real punishment given to the coach that was finally fired. Someone who would still be there doing his thing if it wasn’t for public pressure. But the public send the kids to such shcools because they are supposed to be educated. I doubt that is to be educated on the horrific things that we saw. adamfoxie*

indefinitely.
For me, gay safety comes before gay marriage, and before basketball.
Rutgers a model gay-friendly institution.

I'm walking down the street and someone throws a four-pound object
at me while screaming, "You fucking faggot!"
That would be a hate crime. Correct?
The damage the thrown object did to me would determine whether
it's a felony or misdemeanor, but it's definitely a hate crime.
Numerous such acts recorded on videotape have been widely viewed,
but law enforcement has done nothing.
The perp is a college basketball coach. The victims are student-
athletes at a public university.
After the tapes became public some people (who turned out to be
morally unfit for their jobs) were fired. The coach was fired, along
with his boss and his assistant.
The guy in charge of the whole mess still has his job and claims ignorance.
Apparently, one requirement for a high salary is the willingness to
claim ignorance. Heck, Jeff Skilling couldn't find his ass with
both hands (he claimed), but he made millions.
Is it punishment to lose a job for which you were not qualified (due to
hatred of gay people or lack of moral fiber, or because of "ignorance”)
in the first place?
When some low level guy commits a crime he goes to jail AND he
loses his job.
There has been zero outcry about the lack of law enforcement in this case.
Are they waiting for someone to die?
Meanwhile, even deadweight hacks such as Bill Nelson are tripping over
themselves to not be the last American politician to endorse same-sex
marriage (or, the less sexualized "marriage equality").
So, gay marriage? OK!
Prosecute anti-gay hate crimes? HELL NO!
To show an inkling of how offensive coach Rice's words were,
Rutgers should:
"But, come on, shut down a basketball program?" they'll say. "It would only hurt the kids. "
And the welfare of the kids is Rutgers' highest priority. Right?
