The glamorous movie star Jada Pinkett Smith created a firestorm at Harvard by openly expressing her love for her husband, actor Will Smith. Her remarks — declaring that today's woman "can have it all — a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career" — offended gay students because of their "hetero-normative content."
The Biseuxal, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Alliance demanded an apology because Smith "implied that standard sexual relationships are only between males and females."
The foundation sponsoring Ms. Smith's visit promptly apologized, and scheduled a series of campus wide meetings to avoid such offensive occasions in the future.
This controversy reveals the radical nature of the so-called gay rights agenda, with its determination to obliterate all relationship norms and to strike back at anyone who speaks warmly of the traditional family.

So does this mean Larry Summers was right?

I am outraged!! How dare this woman OPENLY express her love to her husband. Is she THAT insensitive to people that have no love in them? She needs sensitivity courses fer shure. /s off
Cordially,
"hetero-normative content."
That's a new one on me!
I'm assuming it is.
Harvard University, 1636;Declared purpose was, "To train a literate clergy"from the Rules and Precepts, "Let every student be plainly instructed, and earnestly pressed to consider well, the maine end of his life and studies is, to know God and Jesus Christ which is eternall life, John 17:3 and therefore to lay Christ in the bottome, as the only foundation of all sound knowledge and Learning. And seeing the Lord only giveth wisdome, let every one seriously set himself by prayer in secret to seeke it of Him prov 2,3.
What's offensive is the wimpy, politically correct foundation and the gay community, not Ms. Smith. Ms. Smith was spot on!
Are you sure that this isn't from the Onion? Crazy..
Oh for Pete's sake.
Why does anyone even listen to these deranged, attention starved, drama queens?
Well heck, I'm offended by the "homo-abnormative content" I see every day. I demand an apology.
The Biseuxal, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender and Supporters Alliance demanded an apology because Smith "implied that standard sexual relationships are only between males and females."
Jada Pinkett Smith loves her husband, expresses it, and then she's the bad guy?!? Did I get off a UFO this morning or something!?
Double-barrelled Mega-PING! to both lists! If you want on, FReepmail me!
Of course, if she had shown perverted lust for the lesbians in the audience, they'd be praising her as a saint. She's be on the front page as a Goddess of every far left wing newspaper in the country.
There would be no mention about her hate filled, rabid, vile, anti-human and self inflicted Heterophobia problem we see so much of today.
' whatever one says, there will always be someone offended
personally, I am offended at the very existence of the ACLU and the democrat party, and I demand an apology and both institutions immediately to be disbanded
The BGLTS want an apology? Hope they're not holdilng their breath. If that group is offended, well, they have a problem.
Unfortunately it is serious. It made the Washington Times too.

LMAO!!
This just HAS to be a joke.
Your male-normative use of the language is quite offensive and I demand an apology.
Maybe some of us are offended by homo-normative content. But being VRWC members, WHAMs (White, Hetero, Anglo Males), Christians, and so on, we don't count.
This is ridiculous, Harvard has gone down the drain. I am sooooooooo sick of this BS. I would NOT have apologized, by apologizing you admit you did something wrong and personally Jada did nothing wrong.
now you did it, I am offended at you finding that offensive!
Their motto; "If you ain't queer, you ain't here!"
Ok, I apologise. I'm sorry you are a queer.
Exactly.
Drama Queens! How dare you mention that masoginistic, hetero-normative title! You are an insensitive perpetuator of gender chains and must be purged! Off to the Berkeley/NYT Liberal Re-Education Camp (otherwise known as the Democratic Party) with you!
Now you made me laugh.
There's one little "factoid" left out of this story: Will and Jada Smith have an "open marriage." As long as they tell each other, you know?
I live for that. :^}
So, making homo content the norm is ok but any hetero-normative content is offensive. Further, portraying hetero marriages as dysfunctional is appropriate, but you are not allowed to promote them as being arrangements which create happiness.
Isn't this supposed to be the group that touts acceptance for all lifestyles?
"Her remarks — declaring that today's woman "can have it all"
I guess that explains her comment.
"My message to the offended...
Suck It Up Flower Ass!"
I couldn't have said it better!
Still, it's pretty telling that "normative" sets off these people.
Hey Teach, they got any apology!
The foundation sponsoring Ms. Smith's visit promptly apologized, and scheduled a series of campus wide meetings to avoid such offensive occasions in the future.
This is not from scrappleface?!?!
Life is becoming a parody...
Ya know, I really believe Michael Medved is one of the true thinkers of our side of the political landscape. I really enjoy his radio show, even though he allows way too many of the left on and not nearly enough of the right.
Hetero-normative is being shopped around for general MSM acceptance. Enter it in your word enrichment list.
I noticed that Gay-Lesbian turned into Lesbian Gay Transexual, finally Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual and Questioning. Know your acronyms. LGBTQ.
Not a parody, I read of this a couple weeks ago. Harvard is becoming a parody.
Normalphobia pure and simple..
It is a parody. Harvard has long since become an over-priced self-parody.
Oh my! You know what. Maybe we shold all go on record right now as offending people. I am now going to say I love my HUSBAND (yes, I am a woman) and no apologies from me.
I don't blame them, if I was abnormal it would set me off too.
(Actually I am abnormal, most of the things I value are not the norm in this country anymore)
Can I get a BGLT on toasted wry with a side of BS. This has got to be another April Fool's pre-release. Proud to be a conservative Christian hetro-normative though!
If this is not a joke, then my suggestion for those with offended sensitivities is, duck off and fie.
*LMAO*
