21+ :$5 - During Pride Week there was a group of five Freshmen that tore down some of our Rainbow flags. They later apologized and here is a letter they wrote explaining why they did what they did:
__________________________________________________________________
'Dear Editor,
In the last week the five of us took 5 Gay Pride Week flags off of Jayhawk Boulevard. We are submitting this letter to sincerely apologize and let the student body know that this was not a malicious act towards the Queers and Allies Organization and especially what the flags stand for. We are in no way homophobic, and we do not want this to be seen as an act of aggression. If anything we stand behind Q and A as being important to the University of Kansas. This was solely an act of mischief and immaturity. We can understand how this situation could be perceived as an act against the LGBT community, and felt it was especially important to disprove this idea. We all would like to extend our greatest apologies towards Q and A and the student body, we are sincerely sorry.
- Michael Glotzbach , Jack Campbell, Ben Burge, Cooper Merrill, and Zach Vitztum'
