Office Of Law School LGBT Group Vandalized With Hateful Graffiti Over MLK Day Weekend
By David Lat

Yesterday, in addition to being Inauguration Day, was Martin Luther King Jr. Day. We suggested that people use the holiday to engage in public service.

Unfortunately, not everyone got the memo. At one leading law school, someone used the three-day weekend to vandalize the office of an LGBT student group.

the Lesbian Gay Band Association in the Inaugural Parade, but back home in Boston, the law school's LGBT offices were vandalized.

Sort of a portrait of America these days, some good things, some progress here and there, but too many hateful incidents along the way

the Uganda thread. They are silent in the face of the actions of their own communities year after year.

Consider: it's probably ONE (1) person. ( The script looks identical)

Frankly... I'm surprised ( happily) that BC Law HAS an LGBT group...AND gives it office space. ( It's an RC university after all.)

Finally... whoever wrote the... ummmmm....* composition* apparently knows more slang terms for lgbt sexual activity than I do.

I'll have to consult the urban dictionary.com for at least two of these but I have a feeling I might be happier not knowing.

If I don't know what they mean there's probably a good reason for that.
