[plug] R. Portland....MSU Women's Basketball VS PSU Protest

Action Item: Protest homophobia in Women's basketball.

The MSU Women's Basketball team is playing Penn State at home on January 5th at 8PM at the Breslin Center in East Lansing.

Rene Portland is the longtime coach of the Penn State team.

On behalf of Jennifer Harris, a former PSU player under coach Portland, the National Center for Lesbian Rights has written a letter of complaint of Coach Portland's decades long practice of harassment, intimidation, and silencing of athletes in the Women's Basketball Program who are perceived to be Lesbian, as well as those supportive of Lesbian Athletes.

In support of the Penn State LGBTQ & A organization, who are protesting at all their home games, MSU's LGBQ & A organization and the broader LGBT & A communities in Mid- Michigan will be protesting Coach Portland's Lesbophobic practices at the game Jan 5.
