Flyers Encouraging LGBTQ Suicides Cause Uproar on College Campus

[icymist]

Students at Cleveland State University (CSU) in Ohio were shocked to find flyers urging LGBTQ people to commit suicide posted to bulletin boards on their campus.

The flyers depicted a man's silhouette hanging by a noose with the text, "Follow Your Fellow F****ts" in rainbow colors. It also included statistics on transgender, bisexual and general LGBTQ-related suicide rates.

William Dube, a spokesman for the university, told NBC News on Wednesday the flyers have since been taken down. It is not yet publicly known who created and disseminated them.

"Anti-LGBTQ+ posters were seen in one building on the CSU campus on Thursday morning. The posters did not conform with CSU policies and procedures regarding posting and were removed," Dube said in a statement. "The Vice President of Student Affairs met with LGBTQ+ students on Friday to address their concerns regarding the posters."

1. The hate in this country is out of control.

WTF is wrong with these people?

2. The US is a mentally disturbed country, possibly as high as 40% IMO. n/t

3. And 40 years of a 24/7 perpetual hate machine has brought out the worst in people.

And now we have a president and his lap dog news network that reflect this.

4. Sadly, I'm starting to see the US as a failed democracy. There seem to be a growing number

of people that seem to want to live in some kind of shit hole where the majority live in some type of dystopia. They are ever so persistent in voting in people wanting to destroy democracy in the US, and they are so damn brain dead and propagandized, they can't seem to grasp what is happening. Just the fact an ass like Trump becomes president, is indicative of an awful lot of failing in the US. It makes me cringe to think what might be next. And those voting him in still want him, as he continues to destroy the country.

5. The biggest mistake we made as a country was AM hate radio.

It's convinced the minority 36% of hardcore right wingers that they are somehow more patriotic and their vote counts more than the other 64%. It's truly brought out the worst in people. It gave birth to the menace known as Fox News. I know people who used to be progressive then they started watching Fox News and it turned them into stark raving lunatics. All they do is trash Colin Kaepernick and rant about which stores don't praise baby Jesus enough during the Christmas / holiday season. It's a virus - it is ruining everything it touches. Something needs to be done about it, but that would require altering the constitution which would probably lead to a war, maybe more.

6. And, the US is allowing Keith Rupert Murdoch to systematically destroy the US. In my book

he's just as bad as Russian intervention in the election system. The US is a very naive country and millions in the US are bred to be damn fools.
