Washington DC is the home of countless academic institutions, and the number one destination for higher learning for people all over the country and the world. Most notably, DC is known for Law programs and degrees in International Affairs. Hand in hand with those areas of study is a focus on Human Rights. How would you feel if you relocated to Washington, DC, to receive a world class education, and your professor of Human Rights taught that homosexuality was wrong?
That’s exactly what’s happening at New York University’s Law School.
NYU OUTlaws are a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender law students, as well as their supporters and friends. OUTLaw actively promotes queer visibility on campus and acts as a watchdog for LGBT issues arising within New York University School of Law and across the globe.
From the OUTlaw Blog:
“This fall, NYU Law will offer a course “Human Rights in Asia,” to be taught by the visiting professor from the National University of Singapore Dr. Thio Li-ann.
She vigorously fought the repeal of a law that would have punished sex between consenting adults with two years’ imprisonment. During a debate over the repeal of a law criminalizing gay sex, Dr. Thio asserted “a moral wrong cannot be a human right” and compared anal sex to “shoving a straw up your nose to drink.”

This free thinker will be gone within a year, or so ostracized by her “peers”, she will quit in short order.
She is tough and brave. They will try but they should be wary.
One brave soul can change the world.
One can only hope and pray.
It is good to see her stand up so strongly.

In this day and age, it is great to see anyone stand on principle. Anyone that doesn’t will reap the consequences of their actions.

You mean like Christians feel when their professors belittle their beliefs to the delight of the 'sophisticated' students in the class? Well, since Christians aren't a 'protected minority', the only thing that student could do is go to a different college.
Why can't this homosexual student do that?
> anal sex to “shoving a straw up your nose to drink.”
(chuckle!) A mate of mine can drink beer thru a straw up his nose. He wins bets with that stunt all the time — it’s perverse!
What interests me is how very narrow and intolerant these individuals are. They would evaluate her fitness to teach based on her disagreement over of an issue that has no effect on them or their ability to enjoy whatever sex or pseudo-sexual behavior they desire.
What we see here is insane childish narcissism. The desire to have others’ praise for something they know is not correct or else they wouldn’t care is a sign of a disorder. It certainly isn’t the behavior of well adjusted adults. If it were such an obviously clear idea that being gay is right then they wouldn’t care what she had to say. They would just laugh her off. That they take her so seriously shows how much of a threat just speaking out in an intelligent way is. They think they have this battle won. That the muzzle is on tight. This is a break in their well crafted liberal kaleidoscopic world view and at a law school even and in NYC!
Homosexuality is like global warming. Basic reason tells you homosexual behavior is at a minimum incorrect and a disorder of sorts. Also anal sex is very disease prone let only anal-oral sex which is common among homosexuals. They don’t want to have a debate because it is a debate they will lose. One can be a good tolerant person and not accept every deviant sexual practice as normal.
They are also highly costly sexual practices.

The idea that skyrocketing health costs has aligned with increased employer coverage of same sex individuals can not be ignored. I’ve not ran the numbers but I imagine the average cost to cover a average homosexual is rather high give their behavior.
lol I liked her analogy. I’ve used something similar myself before but it is unnecessary. At the clearest and most basic assessment the parts don’t fit. Homosexuality isn’t even really “sex”. It is a ridiculous disgusting parody. Homosexuals routinely eat each other’s feces and their behavior almost always involves feces and blood which are great mediums for infection and disease.
She is awesome. Being a woman and Asian she will have an easier time of it than any white, conservative male. She seems up to the battle and I am sure she understands what she is up against. She has logic and truth and education on her side.
I think maybe a lot of people don’t think too deeply about what sort of sex act homosexuals do, and how it is tied to disease and misuse of body parts. I have a friend who sort of naively pictures nice men, earnestly in love, holding hands, I think, when she is arguing for “fairness” from the Catholic Church. I’ve tried to spell it out for her, but she doesn’t want to picture it [well, ok, who does?].
MY name is SPARTACUS!
My Mom was visiting us once, with a friend who was also in her 70's. We happened to be watching a news report about a Gay Pride parade, and my Mom's friend asked me to explain how men have sex with each other. Imagine having to explain that to an older woman. She was horrified and disgusted.
I pray so susie. I’m going to keep following this. They had better watch out. The gaystapo are overplaying their hand again and again and people are aligning against them.
