4th Anti-Gay Incident Reported at Georgetown University

By: unknown

SUMMARY
The fourth anti-gay incident has been reported to have occurred in Georgetown University.
On October 23rd a female student was attacked by two men for her perceived sexual orientation. They yelled anti-gay slurs at her, grabbed her bag, threw her on the floor, and hit her with her bag, before they f
fled.

There were also two previous anti-gay occurrences, but details have yet to be released.
At 12:30 AM on Monday morning, a female student told campus she was verbally harassed by four males.

On Friday October 30th, over 50 Georgetown students rallied to support any gay students attending their school, and those harassed for being perceived gay.
Many students in the march said they hoped this would encourage students to be more open about anti-gay incidents, but for the incidents to stop occurring at all.

While their last wish hasn’t come true, their first wish has.
OPINION
I personally thought the article was decent. It was short and somewhat bland, but got to the point. As for the topic itself I find it extremely ignorant for people to not learn the concept to each his own, and extremely sad that we live in a place that is known for being “The Land of the Free”, yet we are still discussing whether or not someone should really act like themselves. I also find it rude and annoying that someone thinks they have the right to harass someone, and scar them physically and/or emotionally, because they thought they may possibly stand for something that they themselves don’t.
