Sri Lankan Gay Group Grows |
|
By Rex Wockner
"Those who are known or perceived to be gay are repeatedly stopped by university personnel," the group said. "They are singled out from other entrants by being asked to show their student ID in order to be allowed to remain inside the campus. Visitors are immediately forced out, in a humiliating way: they are escorted to the door by an employee, as if they had committed a crime." In addition, posters have appeared around campus disparaging the president of the University Gay Community organization, IGLHRC said. IGLHRC asks activists to e-mail protest letters to Rector Dr. Jaime Restrepo Cuartas at rectoria@quimbaya.udea.edu.co with carbon copies to secretar@quimbaya.udea.edu.co and to amigoscomunes@hotmail.com, the city's gay organization.
