(TIME-WARP) Code of Conduct, a TRUE Tale of BULLYING revealed 27 Years Later!

by MK Scott

With the close of October's Gay History month,  21 years after Matthew Shepard, and 9 years after Tyler Clementi. There was another anniversary this month. 

There was a never before told story that I am working on as a potential Novel and Movie Script based on an incident involving a fellow Native Portlander who had a dream to be the first in his family to get a college degree.

According to my Friend, Matt as well as school documents, tells that in the Fall of 1992, Matt finally arrived at Northeastern University in Boston, MA to study communications. Problems fitting in were immediate and after changing dorms 3 times, he settled into a single room at Light Hall. Matt liked Light Hall because it was drug and alcohol free and that meant no distractions or Drama.

Matt had trouble fitting in, because 1) He came from Middle-class family from Oregon, 2)  He was registered as a Republican (known as Libertarian today) but supported Clinton, 3) He was 22, older than most freshman and 4) He was an Open Bi-Sexual with a boyfriend and a Girlfriend back home in Portland. The Democratic, conservative, Old values, hard drinking way of Boston was clearly the wrong place.

BACKTRACK: Mitt Romney Disavows 2002 Pride Flyer Supporting Gay Rights!


Romney_flyer
Eric Fehrnstrom, Romney's chief spokesman, tells the HuffPost that flyers claiming Mitt Romney supports Gay Pride that read "All citizens deserve equal tights, regardless of their sexual preference" were not created by Romney during his 2002 run for Governor.

"I don't know where those pink flyers came from. I was the communications director on the 2002 campaign. I don't know who distributed them ... I never saw them and I was the communications director," Fehrnstrom said in the spin room after Sunday morning's GOP presidential debate here.

Fehrnstrom said he had no idea who had distributed the flyers. "I never saw them and I never approved them. I'm not quite sure where they came from."

If the flyers look familiar, it's because they surfaced briefly during the 2008 presidential campaign as well.

STATEMENT: Boston Globe Endorses Huntsman!

The biggest-selling newspaper in the state Mitt Romney governed for four years has snubbed him and endorsed Jon Huntsman to be the GOP nominee. Huntsman has been bold where Romney has been cautious, and "rather than merely sketch out policies, he articulates goals and ideals," the Boston Globe writes, praising the former Utah governor's foreign policy credentials, ability to lead in a bipartisan spirit, and willingness to stand up to those in his party who "reject evolution and the science behind global warming." As governor, Romney—the only other "truly presidential" candidate in the race—showed "glimmers of the same qualities" Huntsman has, but those have disappeared on the campaign trail, writes the Globe, which endorsed John McCain in 2008.

Romney, the paper says, has been pushed in "unwanted directions" by the Tea Party and the religious right. "Jon Huntsman would be a better president," the Globe concludes. "But if he fails, he could still make Romney a better candidate."

SUPPORTER: Harvard University wrestling team came out as straight allies on National Coming Out Day

The Harvard Crimson reports that members of the Wrestling team arrived at the Malkin Athletic Center to pose for a team photo in gay pride attire and rainbow pins that read “Proud Ally.”

Wearing a shirt that said, “Some Dudes Marry Dudes. Get Over It,” Anthony J. Buxton, a varsity wrestler, said he had received smiles from people on the street.

“There is a much larger community of allies who are willing and ready–even eager–to stand with their LGBT peers,” McCarthy said.

BARED: Brown says 'Thank God' Warren Kept Clothes On!

Aren't Scott Brown and Elizabeth Warren supposed to be debating the social contract and other lofty things? Their Senate race just took a low detour: Warren made a point during a debate Tuesday to take a jab at Brown's old Cosmo cover, saying that when she was a college student, she took out loans to pay the bills and kept her clothes on. "Thank God," Brown told a local radio station in response, reports the Hill.

He and the host then laughed. "I went to the school of hard knocks," Brown said. "I did what I had to do, and but not for having that opportunity, I never would have been able to pay for school, and never would have gone to school, and I wouldn't probably be talking to you, so whatever." The Warren camp did not respond today to his retort. Click for more details on Brown's back and forth with the host on WZLX.
