John Sutter says gay Americans should root for Ole Miss this weekend, despite slurs football players reportedly yelled at actors. Worse, football players and other students from Ole Miss reportedly heckled a Tuesday night performance of "The Laramie Project," a play about a gay college student, Matthew Shepard, who was tortured and murdered in 1998. The comments themselves are reduced to the realm of political gaffes instead of being seen for what they are, which is hate speech that contributes to gay kids committing suicide and to parents rejecting kids who come out to them as gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender. Show the football players that Gay America is on their side - that we want to see them succeed.
