nstead of honoring Martin Luther King Jr.'s commitment to civil rights, some at Boston College Law School used MLK Day to deface the office of an LGBT student group, according to Above The Law.

The legal industry insider blog has a picture of the graffiti, which was spray-painted on the walls of the office of the Lambda Law Students Association at BC Law Schoo


The fact that pranks like this are still happening is a sad revelation about the state of our society, especially considering the recent advancements in gay rights.

Openly gay attorneys accounted in 2011 for 3.6 percent of all lawyers in New York City, a jump from the 3.1 percent reported in 2010.

1. Amazing how homophobes know all the terms. n/t

[RKP5637]

2. The homophobes always know all the terms more than many gays. The

homophobes dwell on this and get their kicks. And, the homophobes that watch gay porn, you know, just to see/say how horrible it is ... gotta keep up on all of the gay porn ... while playing with themselves. Dig into any homophobes psych and one will get a picture of a really disturbed individual.

6. Self repression. People who hate themselves are more likely to hate others. nt

[RKP5637]

9. Yep! n/t

[skypilot]

13. That's the FIRST thing that struck me.

It wasn't until I saw this picture that I even remembered some of these terms existed. They're not words that I have occasion to use much. But it seems that this person had them all right at his disposal.

3. It's like this idiot just wrote down tags from online porn videos. Handwriting is consistent to one

person. Shouldn't be too hard to find the RW asshole in that dorm.

[RKP5637]

5. Yep, it's all very consistent. Some will recognize that handwriting ... leading to one very

disturbed individual in need of some serious counseling and support for their repressed emotions being projected as hostility.

4. When did

Muff Diving become an exclusively lesbian activity? Or cum shots, exclusively homosexual? The racial overtones and the lack of real knowledge indicates this is the handiwork of a very young or very sexually repressed individual.

8. I'm still trying to figure out "bean fucker"

Is that some kind of hispanic slur, as if to say having sex with someone hispanic is wrong?



I should be so lucky...

[graywarrior]

10. Boston is know as Bean Town, but "bean fucker" is news to me.

[SWTORFanatic]

16. Bean fucker could be a reference to a lesbian. "Flicking the bean" = slang for

female masturbation. In that case bean = clitoris.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

20. This is the most informative thread...

I'm learning so much this morning.

I think the university should keep the wall and turn it into a human sexuality workshop!

[SWTORFanatic]

24. I see you're from Milwaukee - I am not from WI but live here

And it's probably more than Scott Walker learned in his Marquette days.

[sgsmith]

18. Check the other words

The "U" in Bean F*er, isn't the same as in other words. I read it as Bean Flicker.

[SWTORFanatic]

25. Good catch, I just noticed that now. It's definitely supposed to be Bean Flicker

[Cynicus Emeritus]

7. I've become cynical

of a society that all too often now has become too smart for its own bridges. How many times have we been hoodwinked into believing the opposite of reality? I'll reserve opinion for an outcome.

[skypilot]

14. You might be right.

Upon looking at the picture again I find it odd that someone would take the time to break in and write all this crap and yet not rip down the rainbow flag.

[onenote]

19. Something doesn't seem quite right to me either

Most graffiti attacks are fairly slapdash. This one, although seemingly the work of one person (based on the handwriting), was done rather carefully, using multiple colors, lines not crossing each other. Someone has hung the rainbow flag on top of some of the markings. Maybe that was done to establish that this was the gay student center, but its still seems odd. And, apparently, no other vandalism -- not even tossing the seat cushions around or toppling the furniture. I'm not saying it didn't happen -- just that it doesn't look like the typical vandalism scene.

[snooper2]

11. Muff Diving is anti gay...

MILF? LOL...

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

12. I didn't know that...

I just thought is was an ecumenical (if you will) reference to the...the act of the...well, you know.

[Sekhmets Daughter]

22. Snooper2 was joking.

[Ian David]

35. I think MILF is up there because whoever did this has "Mommy Issues." n/t

[alcibiades_mystery]

15. "which was spray-painted on the walls of the office..." Um, no...

That picture doesn't show any spray paint. That's all done with three different markers, probably dry erase markers taken from a classroom nearby. Yes, that's a minor thing, I guess, but not that minor. If you don't know how to use spray paint for writing words (that is, for most people, if you're not a graffiti writer or construction worker), then it is actually difficult, and messy, and - most importantly - probably doesn't exemplify your handwriting that well. This was done with a marker, so it probably does display the person's handwriting - even if we assume that the block letters were some attempt to disguise (though I doubt that). The "G" in particular is distinctive, and probably actually does reflect the way this person makes a capital G in his or her own handwriting.

[Brickbat]

17. That jumped out at me, too, and it goes to show what can happen when people rely on sites that

rewrite and repackage news -- such as Business Insider -- instead of sites that do their own reporting. The photo of the scene clearly shows something other than "spray-painted," and it shows only one wall. There's no mention of "spray painting" in the original story.

Examiner is the same way, and it drives me up the wall that people cite it as a source here.

[Ian David]

34. That *is* a very distinctive "G." I hope it gets someone busted. n/t

[cali]

21. Yuk. But I gotta say I read those stupid slurs with relief

When I saw the OP headline and the use of the word "horrifying", I thought that the graffiti would be about threats and intimidation. I see these idiot slurs as childish and stupid but not threatening.

[datasuspect]

23. in terms of the actual words shown

there aren't any anti-gay slurs.

there's a slur used against african americans though

[SWTORFanatic]

27. Wrong, Muff Diver, Gay Bukake, Bean Flicker, and especially Cockgobbler are

anti gay phrases in the context shown.

[datasuspect]

29. those words/phrases aren't exclusive to LGBT

the word "gay" in and of itself is not a slur.

cheech's license plate in Up in Smoke was "MUF DVR"

plus, the whole thing looks like someone had pron keyword diahrrea all over the wall.

[SWTORFanatic]

30. So, just because men (and sometimes women) call each other FAGGOT even when

the use of the insult has little to do with the victim's sexuality it is no longer an anti gay slur?

Wow that's just fail. FWIW I am white and I have heard white people call each other the N word - especially "Nigga please". That doesn't mean the word is no longer anti African American.

Like I said, the context of the words/phrases here is what matters, and yes they are anti gay in the context of that wall.

[datasuspect]

32. i can see this will swirl into a sewer of nonsense

you win the Internets today!!!!!!1111

[SWTORFanatic]

26. Also, slightly disturbing that I knew what all the words/phrases meant except Frig

[AngryAmish]

28. I'm not calling shenanigans...yet

[Ian David]

33. This makes me both outraged AND horny... anti-gay graffiti #FAIL. n/t

[SQUEE]

36. ROFL

really that just broke me up for some reason...
I think derisive laughter and an expulsion for destroying school propert is the way to go on this.
Dont even allow some moron their puffed up martyrdom by even mentioning the specific words.
