Check out the letters section of The Daily Tar Heel today. The gay activists at UNC-Chapel Hill are outraged that the DTH staff editorial yesterday dared criticize their ridiculous protest.

I was asked over a month ago by the Independent’s Barbara Solow why it seemed conservative activists were becoming more vocal. I still don’t know all the reasons, but one of them has to be the Stalinesque definition of speech that the campus left exhibits. It’s not about speech; it’s about harassment, goes the mantra. Bull scat. Of course it’s about speech; they cannot tolerate viewpoints that don’t jibe with theirs, so they label them “harassment” and await the campus authorities, usually the professor, to initiate the crackdown. Or, as they wrote yesterday, campus anti-harassment codes weren’t “meant to protect” white, heterosexual, Christian males ? only the “historically marginalized.”

“It is not enough to obey Big Brother,” O’Brien said. “You must love him.” At the UNC-Chapel Hill, the gay activists take a similar tone: “You must love us.” Because when Voltaire said “Think for yourselves and let others enjoy the privilege to do so too,” he was obviously being a “heterosexist.” And whomever attributed “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” to Voltaire ? he was a heterosexist too! The Committee for a Queerer Carolina has their own take on it: We disapprove of what you say, and you better WATCH OUT because the codes aren’t meant to protect you.
