Jothar: More Motzi Shem Ra on Rabbi Blau. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted people who are attracted to men to have the option of living in a Frum community (as long as they are following Halacha, obviously), something which is very hard for them now. The event in no way whatsoever supported Mishkav Zachor. It didn’t. The lies being spread around as to what happened at that event are disgusting and blatant Motzi Shem Ra. You’d be shocked as to what I heard happened at that event from some anti-YU people (I know exactly what happened at the event, every single detail).
The Beacon leigitmizes nothing. It in now way represents any Shmiras Halacha or the opinions of even close to a majority of YU students.
