Hello Gender and Sexuality Streamers!
Jon Wetter, one of our awesome stream memebers has stumbled upon some articles of interest for us to check out. I STRONGLY urge you all to read these- as they contain some very warped insight to gay and heterosexual lifestyles and cultures. **Please note, some of the information in these articles may be considered "hurtful" or "stereotypical" and is being posted on this site SOLELY for us to view through an academic lens. Members of NYU, Residential Education, and the Broome Street Residential College faculty, staff, and residents do not necessarily share the ideas and opinions expressed in these articles.** The opinions in these articles serve as just a few of the many reasons why streams like ours and learning environments such as those here in the Broome Street Residential College exist- because as members of these learning communites, we have the intelligence to see, question, challenge, and make some changes!!
I am hoping that maybe we could get together sometime in the near future to have an open discussion about these articles.
Excellent find, Jon! We appreciate it!
Have a great week!

I can't really believe Giles' editorial. It's irrational and a poor attempt at humor. I also think it sadly points to issues society at large still has with undestanding that which is different.
I was ashamed to read this. No angry hatemail can change his view, I don't think. But I'm even more disappointed at the responses and comments he got back.
The world does not need more bigotism and awfulness.
