There is noting derogatory about saying “Even Jesus thinks lesbians are sexy.”, such a statement is merely amusing. “Bible readers: Just Plain Wrong.” while ambiguous as reading something does not necessarily mean what is read is believed or disbelieved, it is also not derogatory, merely stating an opinion on the bible, that is is wrong, which is in fact very likely.

Tiffany not only explored the various jewelry processes of the time,Silver Tiffany but also branched out into new metals, such as platinum, Tiffany Jewelrywhich at the time was considered very hard to manipulate.Tiffany BraceletsIt seems to be the case that unusual colorations appealed to Tiffany, like the opal.Tiffany EarringsHe also preferred gemstones that were either opaque or translucent. Turquoise, jade,Tiffany Necklaces carnelian, lapis, moonstones, and opals were all chosen for their ability to filter light. Emphasis based on color was very prevalent in his works.

Let me go on record as saying I fully support Gay Rights, with that out of the way I believe it was wrong for the Anti-gay protesters to be punished but not the Pro-Gay's.

While I don't agree with the Anti-gay protesters message I fully and 100% support their right to say it.

If they were punished then the pro-gay's should be punished all the same.

Free speech is limited to the speech that does not harm or intimidate others, and hate speech in particular is not protected. Students wearing religious t-shirts, or writing “heterosexual pride,” or even “one man-one woman” would likely not have been punished. The issue is that items like “Sodomy is a sin” pass judgment on other students. I would be interested in knowing what Bible passages got students in trouble before I got too upset by this case. It is likely that this is a case of enforcement of anti-hate policy, not an administrative bias.

A better test of the relative bias would be to see if students who wore gay pride oriented materials that were also derogatory would be punished. For example, “Even Jesus thinks lesbians are sexy.” or “Bible readers: Just Plain Wrong.”

This issue is important, sensitive, and frustrating to those involved, so I’m sure I’ve offended someone by my response– nonetheless, best to all parties.
