MSU Hate Group Sponsors Bizarre Anti-Gay Lecture
The morning of Sept. 25, flyers posted across the Michigan State University campus in East Lansing blared 鈥淕AYS SPREAD AIDS.鈥� They bore the insignia of Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and invited students to attend a lecture that evening by anti-gay agitator Ryan Sorba entitled 鈥淭he Born Gay Hoax.鈥�
About 100 MSU students made it to the talk. At least two-thirds were anti-YAF demonstrators who silently protested Sorba鈥檚 message by wearing brightly colored 鈥淚 Have a Story鈥� T-shirts and holding signs aloft throughout Sorba鈥檚 90-minute presentation. One male student鈥檚 placard read, 鈥淚 made out with all the YAF boys.鈥�
Sorba 鈥� pictured below with his arm around MSU YAF leader Kyle Bristow (thanks to East Lansing-based journalist Todd Heywood for the photo) 鈥� for the most part stuck to a standard anti-gay script of branding homosexuality a degenerate lifestyle 鈥渃hoice鈥� rather than an innate trait, though he deployed a few of his own rather bizarre rhetorical flourishes. 鈥淲hen a male dog mounts another male dog, he simply desires to be stimulated 鈥� just as when he slavishly mounts a shrub or your dinner guest鈥檚 leg,鈥� Sorba declared. 鈥淲ould this dog consider himself homosexual? Does he bark with a lisp?鈥�
