...instance, the much-criticized BGLTSA postering campaign during Coming Out Week aimed to shock all decent students, but none so much as Christians. Posters like "Every Tenth Jesus is Gay," "St. Sebastian: the first fag in the military" and "I praise the good Lord with my wet, quivering clitoris," could serve no other purpose besides insulting and intimidating the faithful. But as disgruntled undergraduates, prospective students and bubbly tour groups milled through the Yard, the signs remained.

The rally ended with--what else?--a riot...

I would like to ask if he also didn't see Christ among the Aborigine family that found him, the Bidyadanga people who chanted to keep him alive, the Filipina nurse who wept for him, his friend Danny who raced to save his life, the police and the medics who got to the scene, the medical personnel who decided to fly him to Royal Perth Hospital, the people who operated for 13 hours...
