What are college students drinking these days? Apparently the Student Union Board members do not realize that one of King's main comrades in arms in the Civil Rights Movement was the late Bayard Rustin, a gay man whom was "out" and comfortable with it in the early 1960s. Many of you know that Rustin was one of the principal organizers of the March On Washington.
And to condemn King's words as not contemporary and non-inclusive is a folly that demonstrates that the critics have very poor critical thinking skills and completely ignore any context that does not match their own agenda. Great men and women do have flaws; Gandhi, Jefferson, Rosa Parks, Oscar Schindler...but King's words are not flawed. Jeez, college kids like the Student Union Board at U Oregon positively scare me.
