Washington Students Protest Anti-Gay-Marriage Column
Hundreds of University of Washington students gathered on Friday to protest an anti-gay-marriage column published in the school's student newspaper on November 25, the Daily reports. The opinion piece, titled, "Gay marriage? Lets stop and think about this," described homosexuality as "more of an emotional condition" and argued that legalizing gay marriage would lead to a slippery slope of legal polygamy, incest, and bestiality. An illustration featuring a man standing next to a sheep accompanied the piece.
Several student groups, such as the graduate student government, have called for an apology and even for the newspaper's editorial board's resignation.
The editor in chief said the paper has no intention of issuing an apology for the opinion piece or the illustration.

what is going on?
Now for example if a similar article was writen about Christianity, no one would probably give it a second thought... Think about that... I would wish there was equal treatment for all, not the fanatical defence of the gay "propganda", but and equal approach to all...
Free Exchange of Ideas
I'm all for allowing the conservative voice to be raised, especially on a college campus.
See Jack Kennedy once said, "Never be afraid of an idea" If we are intelligent and educated then good ideas will rise to the top. It may take a while, and it may be a struggle but we shall overcome. And the conservatives will feel all the more remorse for their persecution of us. In fact the harder the persecution, the more lasting the shame for its perpetration.
Conservatives LOVE the slippery slope idea. They love it. That is fine. In a free exchange of ideas let them make the argument.
BUT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM DEHUMANISING ME OR ANYONE ELSE In making your slippery slope arugument. Dehumanisation takes it a bit too far. When you do that. You show your TRUE COLOURS. One word. . . HITLER!
It took him years to dehumanise Gays and Jews enough in the public mind such that he could institute the "final solution."
You as a conservative may have your opinion and may spread it. BUT, ME AS A CITIZEN, A VETERAN, A LAWYER, AN ACTIVIST, AN EDUCATED MAN, A GUN TOTING, FLAG WAVING, AMERICAN, WILL NOT ROLL OVER AND ALLOW YOUR BIGGOTRY TO INTERRUPT MY LIBERTY.
ALL THE NAMES YOU CAN THINK TO CALL ME WILL ONLY HARM YOUR SOUL.
I and my compadres will press forward and will educate, campiagn, march, sue, and protest, and if needs be RISE UP.
So Bring It on.
