Via Taranto comes this story about an alleged incidence of "hate speech:"
A question mark imposed over a photo of a gay-pride flag prompted Stetson University officials to halt distribution of a student-run magazine. [...]

Superimposed on the flag is an almost transparent question mark, something Wasser, 21, feared could be interpreted as hostile to homosexuals. He complained to university officials, who agreed and asked magazine staffers not to distribute it on campus.

"I was afraid that back cover could be seen as an attack on myself or on the people that flag represents, or the movement, which makes it a hate speech," Wasser said Friday.
Now, wait a minute here. A question mark is hostile to homosexuals" and constitutes "hate speech?" A question mark constitutes an "attack?"

Let's have a brief reality check. Isn't "questioning" the "Q" in the self-described "LBGTQ" community? It sure is at Cousin Don's alma mater. I guess "questioning" is only permitted on campus if your questions are politically correct.
