I strongly believe in the rights of gays and lesbians in America, therefore I tend to support their cause. Even though I am not homosexual, I believe that they have just as many rights as the next person to wed and live happy lives together. However, heterosexuals and homosexuals both have the same rights to free speech and this can lead to problems at times. When the chalking was done by the GSA and then countered by other organizations, there were some that were in line with free-speech and others that crossed the line and were outright inappropriate. Starting with the anti-homosexual comments, the most inappropriate quotes were those from Leviticus. Despite these being the most relaxed of the comments, they deserve to be erased because they misquote the bible. Leviticus is not about men lying with men, but rather men and boys. Leviticus states that the relationship between a man and a boy cannot be the same as that between a man and a woman. It says nothing about men laying with men. Because it is not a statement of truth, I would have this erased. This also goes for the rather lewd, “God Hates Fags” comment made. Yet the GSA was not without fault either. Many of the comments they made on the sidewalk were substantial food for thought. I thought one of the best was the Dr. Seuss quote near BWC. Yet some of the comments were just as annoyingly untrue as those done against homosexuals. The worst I bothered to read was the rather large chalking done near Olin that says, “We’re not the problem, YOU are.” To me, neither party is a problem. Since the chalking assumes my position on the issue and tells me I’m wrong, I have a problem with it being displayed.
