Student punished over homophobic comment on blog

A Duquesne University, Pennsylvania student has been ordered to write a 10-page essay on the pros and cons of homosexuality after making a derogatory comment about gay people on a blog.

Ryan Miner, 19, wrote on the blog that gay people were subhuman.

The comment was subsequently the subject of numerous complaints by other students who found it offensive in a case that is said to be dividing the campus along freedom of speech lines.

Miner made the comments as part of a hate campaign against the establishment of a Gay-Straight Alliance at the University Campus, and is now claiming that he would rather be expelled then write the essay, saying that the Catholic Duquesne University decision to allow the group on campus was not consistent with church teachings on homosexuality.
