Description/History:
In early May, 2008, the University of Toledo (Ohio) suspended an African American female administrator for stating in a guest column in a local newspaper that choosing homosexual behavior is not the same as being black or handicapped.
Associate Vice President of Human Resources Crystal Dixon wrote in response to a newspaper editor's column criticizing a lack of equality for homosexuals that, "I take great umbrage at the notion that those choosing the homosexual lifestyle are 'civil rights victims.' Here's why. I cannot wake up tomorrow and not be a black woman.

In early May, 2008, the University suspended Crystal, an African American female administrator, for stating in a local newspaper guest column that choosing homosexual behavior is not the same as being black or handicapped. The column was harshly anti-religious and anti-Christian.
To quote Matthew Parris, a gay London Times columnist who opposes anti-free speech laws to protect gays: "Once the law starts limiting free speech in matters of honest opinion, where does it stop?"
