Smith Students Protest Anti-Gay, College Republican Speaker

In the words of Stephen Colbert, I give a wag of the finger to Smith College Republicans, who sponsored a virulently anti-gay speaker to come to their school and lecture on the "born gay hoax." Conversely, tip of the hat to Smith students for mounting a spirited protest.

The Smith College Republicans sponsored a speaking event featuring Ryan Sorba, author of the upcoming book The Born Gay Hoax. After about twenty minutes he was forced to abandon his speech after protesters forced their way into the room and drowned him out. I'll send videos and articles when they are available, but I thought I'd give you a heads up and ask you to please cover this action. I couldn't be more proud to be a Smithie right now, after I saw so many amazing young feminists come together to stand up against this asshat and his hate.

Looks like the always obnoxious, controversy-seeking Young America's Foundation was also involved.

Here's some video of the speaker and the ensuing protest.

Hat tip to Pam Spaulding, too, for picking this up.
