In an article yesterday ("USG Supreme Court hears elections violations," April 19), former Undergraduate Student Government vice-presidential candidate Joseph Budd suggested that the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered community is entirely too sensitive. This response was prompted by the LGBT reaction to Budd's crude campaign slogan of "Don't get Foulked 'N' the A."

I am a member of the said community, and I couldn't agree more with Budd's statement.

Oftentimes, the LGBT community struggles too hard to appear to be the injured party, and this in no way is beneficial to bolstering our societal cause. In regards to the particular slogan in question, the LGBT community once again managed to warp reality into an example of "homophobia and intolerance."

No one will ever take the LGBT movement seriously if we only whine about every little thing disguised behind a thin veil of activism.
