Student rally around woman punched for ‘Legalize gay’ shirt


(Whitewater, Wisc.) Students at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater are rallying after a woman was punched in the face while wearing a T-shirt that said “Legalize gay.”

Between 50 and 100 people gathered Friday afternoon to raise awareness of hate crimes.

The victim is a UW-Whitewater student. Campus police say she was walking down a street late last month when she was approached by two men she didn’t know.

2. So.... now we're getting harassed for *advocacy."

In *Wisconsin*.

In a *university town*.

Check that: *assaulted.*

Either the national climate is dramatically worsening or we're *hearing* about this stuff more.

I think it's worsening.

I, for one, am not looking forward to assaying the lay of the land after these midterms.
