The speech was amazing and right on. It is the left wing radicals who were way off base and completely disrespectful….get a brain and learn to use it! Your ignorance does not make me a wacko.

You can see a copy of the flyer on the student alternative newspaper site, Spartan Edge:

It’s pretty appalling.

I have seen many of YAF’s flyers over the last couple of months, and they are horrifying. The Columbus day one calling American Indians “savage skull f–ers” that were “civilized” by christians was a particular standout.

I attended this event and didn’t think it was bizarre or hateful. In fact, as a gay man, I can tell you that I was not offended at all and thought that it was very educational. Ryan Sorba spoke about the origins of the LGBT movement, explained homosexual identity, and discussed in detail the evolution of LGBT politics. When he gets his book published, I will likely buy it. His speech was intellectual rather than right-wing Christian homophobic rhetoric, which was what I was expecting.

I cannot comment on the whole “Gays Spread AIDS” posters because I did not see them, but as for the event, it was not as bad as this article makes it out to be.

The LGBTA people who protested the event were respectful, took part in a Q & A with the speaker following his speech, and did not shout down the speaker like other YAFF events.
