Gay #NeverTrumper Silenced at DePaul for Criticizing Islamic Regimes

The FreeBeacon reports on another crazy act of intolerance on college campus, this time aimed at a gay #NeverTrumper who dared to criticize Islamic dictators.  Yes, you read that correctly.  They write:  

Self-described “queer-liberation” activists on the campus of DePaul University are preparing to ambush an event later Wednesday evening featuring a prominent conservative gay rights activist due to his views on radical Islam and the threat they allege those views pose to minority groups.

James Kirchick, a conservative author, reporter, and gay human rights activist, is scheduled to appear at DePaul Wednesday evening for an event titled, “Dictatorships and Radical Islam: The Enemies of LGBT Rights.” Kirchick is expected to address the ways in which oppressive regimes endanger gay rights.

The event has generated controversy on campus, with DePaul officials censoring a poster promoting the talk due to its statement: “Gay Lives Matter.”

So, why do they not want Kirchick to speak? Even though he would presumably line up with many of the “queer-liberation” activists’s beliefs?  Because he dared criticize radical Islamic terrorists.  Yes, really.  (Though, as this social media post points out, it “makes it harder.”)

Unbelievable.  The gay leftists are protesting a gay rights activist journalist speaking out against regimes that kill gays.  These campuses seem to be filled with mentally ill, self-destructive children.

And that’s exactly what Kirchick said when asked for comment. “I don’t need lectures from these children on standing up for gay rights,” he said.  But they desperately need to learn a thing or two from Kirchick.
