In response to P. Smith:

Lexi was named because CCSU had an anti hate rally in response to the gdet crimes. She voluntarily got up, identifyed herself as the victim, and had since been doing interviews with various news stations. Her identity was not a secret because she wanted to be in the spot light.

Smith, I removed the video just because of the associated links. Incidentally, the incident happened in 2007, and the woman was named. She was freshman Sarah Marshak. She just wasn’t named initially.

Here’s an interesting question:

Why was Pennell named publicly? Was it to make her a target for retaliation?

In 2010, a female student at George Washington University claimed she was the victim of anti-semitism. She was caught on hidden video cameras painting swastikas on her own door. She has never been named publicly.

Why does one student get named, and the other doesn’t? Because the retaliation a jewish student might face would be unacceptable and deemed a hate crime, but the retaliation a gay student might face is “okay”, that she “brought it on herself”?

Pennell did something stupid. That doesn’t mean she should be deliberately identified or put into a pillory.

Yup, that’s exactly right and many of us on the right side of this issue are continuing to document every FAKE hate crime the LGBT community does and we will make sure that people know and that the REAL HATERS get justice. You and I both know that if this was someone on our side, you’d be ripping them a big one and condemning them to hell for their actions. This lesbians is mentally ill, which is very clear, and what she did was not just STUPID, it was CRIMINAL. She should have the book thrown at her.
