At MIT Sloan Group, the management school of amazing genius, because as we know, everyone at MIT is a genius, decided to take a pass on any form of discipline for a student accused of sending a "homophobic threatening email" to the Sloan LGBT Group.
(Actually, everyone I've ever met who went to MIT really, honestly is a genius. )
The offending e-mail was a response to an invitation sent out by the Sloan Lesbian, Gay, and Transgender Club to an end-of-semester celebration. The response reads in part: "If you fucking fags send me something like that once again or contact me in any other way, I swear you won't be able to study at Sloan for some time because you will spend it at resuscitation department. If this is what you want, go ahead.

There's a part of me that hopes he makes true on his threat someday... and finds himself at a leather rally.
That's outrageous! SO you can threaten physical harm to other folks and ther's not ramifications? ugh. No wonder there is so much anti-LGBT violence in our country...
They're nerds. How violent could they really be?
I kid. But seriously, yeah . . . if the school doesn't include sexual orientation/gender identity in it's anti-harassment or anti-discrimination policy, they don't have to do anything. That is the outrageous part. You should look into that, Waymon.
Despicable.
Here again I'm reminded of the quotation from Shakespear:
Methinks thou protests too much.
An inner struggle perhaps?
