Smith College students protest the ’Born Gay Hoax’

When Smith Republican Club members hung a banner advertising a speaking engagement at the college for Ryan Sorba, author of The Born Gay Hoax they probably planned for a moderate turnout, and certainly expected that attendees would at least come in through the door.

But neither was the case. Videos and photos of protests sparked by Sorba’s April 29 appearance at the college have been posted on Queertoday.com and Massresistance’s website. Each of the videos show the room full to capacity with people chanting and cheering, drowning out Sorba’s speech. At one point, the large arched windows at the rear of the hall can been seen to be opened and more protesters step into a room already crowded with students clapping, cheering, and chanting "We’re here. We’re Queer. Get used to it!"

Students eventually surround the podium and, after some inaudible discussion with security and a very defeated looking Republican Club member, Sorba is escorted out of the room.
