<p>Yeah, let’s let the KKK hold rallies at our universities, too!</p>

<p>You’re drawing a huge false equivalency. Holding a pro-LGBT rally is not offensive to students; it doesn’t make anyone feel personally victimized. Even fundamentalist Christians can just ignore it because such a rally is not personally directed at them.</p>

<p>An anti-gay rally? That’s promoting hate speech. It’s directly insulting the millions of people who are gay and telling them there is something wrong with them. That’s not the same thing as holding a pro-gay rights rally AT ALL. </p>
