Boo-hoo, she’s encountered people asking her why she hates them! Considering that, to right-minded individuals, the battle for marriage equality IS a civil rights battle, and opposition to said equality (or, in this case, tacit support of said opposition) can logically be considered to be borne of bigotry and hatred, what else are LGBT people and our allies to think?

Since this woman is (like me) African-American, perhaps someone SHOULD ask her if, almost 50 years ago, SHE would’ve been okay letting the citizens vote on HER civil rights. If she were to indicate that she would, then she’d be either a liar or a self-hating moron.

And, really, so what that she recently supported a resource center for gay students on campus. And? Are we really going to play this game where we treat bigotry like a black-and-white phenomenon when it really is, many, many times, a matter of gradation? As in, some people are fine with gay people, just as long as we know our place. Hmmm, where have I heard that before with regard to another unjustly vilified group of Americans?

Should she be reinstated? I don’t know, but I do know that, if a white director of diversity had signed a petition allowing people to vote on whether or not blacks should be able to move into white neighborhoods, I would be real leery of having such a person continue in that post.

We do not have unlimited, untethered liberty. The author carrying on and making a ridiculous charade of his righteous indignation is laughable. Stop draping yourself in the Constitution: if you don’t even know the relevant case law, you have no business editorializing.

So hey… she's either an idiot or dishonest. Not sure either helps her case.

But regardless… if I were a student or faculty at the university? After hearing about her signing the petition I wouldn't trust her to be the advocate she's supposed to be. Call that petty, if you will, but I've never wanted to vote on *your* marriage, and the idea that you get to vote on mine isn't "democratic", it's tyranny by the mob.
