Homophobic Posters at NUIG

ewan whose army

So yeah NUI Galway is in the news again:

Around 250 students at NUI Galway have staged two separate demonstrations on campus, following heated exchanges on the issue of same-sex marriage.

The stand-off began after members of the university's Christian Union society began campaigning for a 'No' vote in a Students' Union referendum on the matter tomorrow.

The society's auditor, Enoch Burke, said literature his members were distributing had been torn up by people with opposing views.

He began holding on to a notice board and refusing to move from his position. He was joined by other members of the society, which he said has in the region of 100 members.

Pamphlets distributed by the group made reference to "men-boy relationships" and spoke of a "slide into an abyss of redefinition" regarding marriage.

These Burke lot seem to have guts running for the "equality" officer

I want Enoch Burke to win the position of equality officer. The fact that he *won't* be able to correctly do his job would be a much better demonstration against his nonsense than losing.

Oh, like this?

funny how they're all neatly folded and on top of bins (that he is rooting through without gloves...!)

Can we write the university president, worried about a family rummaging through bins and leaving a mess everywhere?

Assuming that people did take down posters, at least they recycled them!
