Catholic Student in Trouble for Anti-Homosexual Comment
I just want honesty. Truth in advertising. If you're not a Catholic school, don't call yourself a Catholic school.
A Duquesne University sophomore who is in trouble for online comments said he's not backing down -- that he'd rather be thrown out of school than take back what he said.
"I'm stubborn. I stand up for what I believe in," said Ryan Miner.
Miner, a political science major, wrote against the forming of a gay-straight student alliance at his college.
He posted his thoughts at Facebook.com, a private Web site popular with students from across the country.
A complaint was filed against Miner because he used the word "subhuman" when writing about gay people.
The university's Judicial Affairs panel found that those remarks violated the school's university code of conduct.
Miner disagrees.
When asked if he thought calling something subhuman was harassment, Miner replied, "I don't in the context I meant it to be. I meant the actions are subhuman, not the individual."
