The leader for the Rainbow Sprinkle team announced the right answer for one of the questions in Queer Jeopardy, held in the Campus Village RAC Room on Wednesday.

With a loud collaborative scream, a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender SJSU students and staff broke their silence. They had been silent all day as a part of the observed Day of Silence on Tuesday.

As part of Breaking the Silence Week at SJSU - a time to bring attention to harassment that keeps lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people quiet - a mixer was held at Campus Village Building B.

The Day of Silence was created by students at the University of Virginia in 1996, according to the Day of Silence Web site.

How much is the Lord going to stand of this filth? Of all the deceits of the Devil, to call them "gay," as if to imply they're "happy"! They've even discussed having role models in the gay community, people you should look up to & emulate. How disgusting & sickening! It's absolute demon-possession!
Sodomites even have gay churches to bless their unions & celebrate their love together, to ask God's blessing on their union! How horrible! How blasphemous!
Some of this homosexuality came in through the Pentecostals, who evidently got into demon-possession when they were seeking the gifts of the Spirit. They wanted the Holy Spirit & some of the gifts so badly that they would take any spirit, just so they could speak in tongues.
They're trying to do everything they can to legitimise it or even have non-homosexual people laud it & acclaim it, sanctified Sodomy. Legitimised Sodomy, it's blasphemy against the Bible!
