Campus Gay Republican Sues Gay Rights Group
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/11/110705nevada.htm

A kiss-in at the University of Nevada to protest the military ban on gays serving opening in the armed forces has prompted a lawsuit by a leader of the school's Republican Club.

Queer Student Union, Nevada Students for Peace and Solidarity, and Act Now to Stop War & End Racism staged the demonstration last week when military recruiters visited the campus for a job fair.

In his complaint, filed in Washoe County District Court, College Republican vice chair Matt Beiser accuses the protesters of intimidating and verbally abusing students trying to talk to the recruiters.


wonder how many of the little pukes signed up with the recruiters themselves--doubt too many of them

1. I wonder if the verbal abuse was something like this:
"Hey, Young Republicans! Why aren't you over there signing up?"

3. A rove in training
And I'm sure the little shit would enter a lawsuit against the bush administration for "intimidating and verbally abusing" those not charged with anything in GTMO. They are pure fucking evil.

6. Campus Gay Republican Sues Gay Rights Group
(Reno, Nevada) A kiss-in at the University of Nevada to protest the military ban on gays serving opening in the armed forces has prompted a lawsuit by a leader of the school's Republican Club.

Queer Student Union, Nevada Students for Peace and Solidarity, and Act Now to Stop War & End Racism staged the demonstration last week when military recruiters visited the campus for a job fair.

In his complaint, filed in Washoe County District Court, College Republican vice chair Matt Beiser accuses the protesters of intimidating and verbally abusing students trying to talk to the recruiters.

"The idea behind it was that it's not fair that those groups should be able to dissuade people from finding out about the military recruitment on campus," Beisner told the Reno Gazette-Journal.

The complaint seeks a temporary restraining order and unspecified legal costs.

The term "Gay Republican" is really pissing me off! I don't know what they are, but they are not Gay!
