Student Newspaper Writer Sets Off Storm On Issue of Gay Marriage!!!

A Louisiana Catholic Blogger, that is currently on hiatus, set off a firestorm with a article he wrote in the LSU Reveille called America needs to stand against homosexuality.

I thought it was a well put together article. It also shows the importance of having well grounded Catholics in journalism. I would love to see more of this in the paper I read:
It's a debate I'd love to have. Ideally, I should talk about why practicing homosexuality is intrinsically disordered and why it prevents one from loving fully. I should discuss recent works like the famous "Theology of the Body" by Pope John Paul II. If I did however, I would be risking expulsion, and I don't want to leave the University. This risk is made possible by the University's policy on free speech. In the Student Code of Conduct, the Non-Academic Misconduct policy states that "Extreme, outrageous or persistent acts, or communications that are intended or reasonably likely to harass, intimidate, harm or humiliate another" may be grounds for misconduct charges, which means that one's "continued presence at the University potentially threatens the property, health, safety, or well-being of members of the University community." That sounds reasonable, except that the definition of a harassing communication is left vague. Gay rights proponents have used this vagueness to silence any criticism of homosexuality in colleges across the United States.

Theology of the Body is not a concept you will likely see in American papers YET. Mr Denton is lucky he is at LSU. I suspect at some "open minded schools" this article would not have made the printed edition.

What is amazing is the comment section. Some people are proving his point with meaning too. We see Comments such as:
Shame on you Daily Reveille. Opinions are one thing. Obvious hate speech is another. YOU HAVE NO ETHICS, and that's why this paper will never be taken seriously. Every single member of the staff is accountable for this article and for the way it trivializes an entire group of people. Ever wonder why this type of "article" has never made it into say, for instance, a "New York Times" article? That's because trash like this can only be published by giggling students hoping to incite some sort of response from their peers.

Hate Speech? Hate Speech is just not a PC term anymore but a term that in many places has legal consequences.

The comments are very enlightning.
