Oregon student newspaper runs pictures of Jesus as a homosexual.

The Associated Students of the University of Oregon (ASUO) has refused to apologize for an obscene anti-Christian assault in the campus newspaper Insurgent.

The March edition of the Insurgent ran one of the strongest attacks on Christianity I have seen. The paper ran graphics depicting Jesus as a homosexual. One was a depiction of a naked Jesus on the cross with an erection; the other, titled Resurrection, showed a naked Jesus kissing another naked man, both sporting erections.

When asked for an apology by Students of Faith, ASUO refused to give one saying that "there are no grounds for demanding an apology from Insurgent." The ASUO went on to defend the publication saying that the newspaper contributes "to the cultural and physical development of the university community."

The Insurgent would never show a naked graphic of the Rev. Martin Luther King kissing another man. But offending Christians was of no concern to the Insurgent or to University President Dave Frohmayer.

The ASUO Women's Center tolerates no defamation against gays and lesbians. Three years ago, ASUO demanded that the university radio station, KUGN, drop Michael Savage (a conservative talk show host). The university promptly discontinued the program. But depicting Jesus as a homosexual is perfectly OK.

Here is what Insurgent Student Editor Jessica Brown had to say about the graphics. "I have to say it is really fun to offend people. It is fun to break the rules. If it ****** people off…good that's the point!!! It has here in this office. So read, get ***** and talk about it."

Incidentally, the University forces all students, including Christians, to pay student dues of $191.00 per term, part of which goes to support the Insurgent.

It is important for them to become aware of the growing anti-Christian bias in our country. It is time for Christians to speak out saying that bigotry against Christians—or any faith—is unacceptable. Share this information with others in your church and Sunday school.

It sounds like a repeat of the Danish newspaper which posted offensive pictures of Mohammed, depending on how you spell his name.

The original poster doesn't seem to have updated this, so I'm assuming he's no longer active.

I haven't even heard about this until I saw it here, but why care? It's a stupid attempt on the part of the newspaper in question to use freedom of the press to make lots of people angry, however, freedom of the press still exists. Don't like that newspaper? Don't read it anymore. Seems to be a logical way to avoid reading further offensive articles.

True, but there probably is a point about duality of standards - the same principles should apply to all areas rather than just a few.
