		<description>I can&#039;t find the article online, which bothers me, but I have my response on my blog.

http://ohmonkeytrumpets.blogspot.com/2010/03/daily-helmsman-pissed-me-off-today.html

Basically, the school still treats homosexuality as a mental problem. This is bad because it doesn&#039;t serve queer students&#039; needs. It&#039;s not bad because mental problems are bad but the effing pull quote or whatever, above the fold, HUGE, said, &quot;Going to the psychology building to say you&#039;re gay is like going to say you&#039;re crazy.&quot;

I could physically feel my anger when I saw that. It was... interesting. And it was fun (in a weird way) to be angry and know the source (the article) and know what I can do (blog, comment, e-mail).

I don&#039;t think I&#039;ll comment the person who said that (they used her name, so a quick search in the school directory would give me her e-mail) because she&#039;s a victim of ableist thinking and a freshman, so it wouldn&#039;t be nice. Plus, it&#039;s the paper&#039;s fault for going with that tone.</description>

		<description>By the way is it possible you guys could do an ableist word profile on &quot;tinfoil hat&quot;?  That one always manages to offend me.
