Anti-gay bigot Peter Labarbera humiliated as audience walks out

Before walkout

After walkout

Sinclair Community College students and professors found their own way to protest anti-LGBT Peter LaBarbera coming to speak at their Dayton, Ohio, campus.

They showed up, and then they just got up and walked out as he began to speak:

Mr. LaBarbera approached the podium and apologized affably for keeping us waiting. He talked about the importance of dialogue and respect. And then he said there was no scientific evidence that homosexuality is not a choice. He reminded us that the hypocritical left, in silencing voices like his, is really the party guilty of intolerance.

And that was our cue to leave.

We stood, without a word, and walked out. I heard a woman shouting, “Shame! Shame on you!” There were gasps and a few loud grumbles of disapproval, LaBarbera’s aforementioned “Are you effing kidding me” among them. We walked out of the venue and into the Student Activities Center, where we hugged and laughed and ate Honey Maid graham crackers. Photographs of the venue after we walked out show that about 12 people remained behind, at least two of whom I recognize as allies who likely stayed to see what he would say. It was a beautiful, beautiful thing.

How perfectly appropriate.

Bravo to the Sinclair community.
