Protest Leader Verbally Assaulted
September 24, 2010 – University of Rhode Island – Today the student leader of the LGBT Protest on campus was verbally assaulted on his way to class. When Brian Stack heard a student behind him yell that someone's backpack was "faggy" he shouted back that the student should not use that language. The offending student then yelled “fuck you faggot” at Stack. When Stack asked the student to identify himself he did not, and no one in the area was willing to identify the harassing student.. Attacks like this have been recurring since the protest began and are examples of the daily experience for LGBT students at URI.
