Washington State Police Investigate Hate Crimes
Police at Washington State University are investigating three assaults that some claim are hate crimes targeting gay students this past week, the Daily Evergreen reports. Investigators have not determined whether the attacks are related, but all three involve unprovoked attacks on members of the school's gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender community. One of the victims was hospitalized and diagnosed with a collapsed lung.
In response, the school's Women's Transit service, which provides door-to-door transportation for women at night, has expanded its service to the GLBT community
The assaults occurred just a week after the community hosted National Coming Out Day, timing that many believe is not coincidental, while others have expressed discontent about how the university has handled the attacks. "There's a general feeling of a lack of support from the university administration and the university system in general," said one student. "On a personal level, I'm scared. There's been nothing coming out of the university, and that's not acceptable."

about the gays
to begin with the word gay means happy,not what people say it means.How come people change what words mean?I think that they nothing else to do so make up stupid sayings,besides that it is a sin for men to be with men and women be with women,it is a sin in God's eye and they will have to answer to him when and if they ever meet him,which i doubt they will because God doesn't accept them.To me it is a sick,perverted person that lives that way.God meant for men and women to be married,not man and man and woman and woman,read your BIBLE if you have one.

I admire those groups working for GLBT
I admire those groups working for GLBT, also those online services like the one **BisexualMingle dotcom**. Members there are very active. Hope you are the one. Many of my friends there have spent their careers working for equality for lesbian, gay,bisexual and transgender (LGBT) persons. I think they are really very great.If you are often online here, you may find what you are looking easily and quickly.
