Re: Poster defaced, April 5

We at BGALOR (Bisexuals, Gays and Lesbians of Ryerson) offer our full and complete support to the Jewish Student Council regarding the defacing of the Israel Day poster. From past experience, BGALOR knows all too well what discomfort and anxiety that intolerance towards individuals can have. In just a split second, your feelings go from comfortable to shock, outrage and fear. You always have in the back of your mind that someone who defaces a poster can just as easily harm yourself or a member of your group. Such indiscriminate acts, either verbal or written, can never be tolerated in this society.
