This is awful.
Last week, a gay student at North Carolina’s Guilford College received two letters threatening to kill him because he’s gay:
Guilford College students will hold a meeting on Monday after someone sent a student two letters threatening his life and calling him derogatory names based on his sexual orientation.
The hate crimes happened in the Bryan Hall dormitory last week. On Monday, a student found a note on his door that had a death threat and called him a derogatory name. The note also said “nobody wants your kind on campus.”
On Thursday, someone dropped a rock with a letter attached in the same student’s window. The note used the same derogatory name and also said: “You don’t deserve life like the rest of the world. It’s bad enough with out all the gay crap pulling people down. It’s sick, unnatural, and death is almost too good for you. Almost.“
The campus’s Gay Pride Organization met yesterday to organize a march on campus this Wednesday. Guilford College President Kent Chabotar said that anyone involved in the hate crimes will be held accountable both on and off campus.
The student’s name has not yet been released.
