Penn State will look into claims by a gay rights advocacy group that women's basketball coach Rene Portland has discriminated against players she believed to be lesbians. "The allegations will be investigated according to university policy and practices," school president Graham Spanier said in an e-mail Wednesday. "Penn State has a nondiscrimination policy that is fundamental to the principles of our university."

Spanier said he received a letter of complaint from the National Center for Lesbian Rights regarding the case of Jennifer Harris, who transferred from Penn State last spring after two years on the team.

According to the center, Portland had repeatedly questioned Harris about her sexual orientation, threatened to kick her off the team if she was a lesbian, and told other players not to associate with players who Portland believed to be gay.

1. So if they kick lesbians off the women's basketball team ...

... they better hope that games against the School for the Blind and the Wheelchair Basketball League make up the rest of the season. :D

Honestly! Sounds like Coach Portland has more "baggage" than a luggage carousel at O'Hara! Right now I'd say the odds are running 2:1 in favor of "repressed dyke" over "fundie head case."

2. I'm going with fundie head case
