UC Alliance and Miami Spectrum have created a dual response to a hate crime at Miami University in which the victims were two gay students, one from UC and one from Miami.
Tomorrow (Thursday, April 5) at 5 p.m., members of UC Alliance will be joined by fellow students, faculty, and staff at the corner of Clifton and MLK where they will rally for an end to hate crimes and hold hands in an act of solidarity.
The hate crime occurred on Wednesday, March 24, following a drag show in Oxford. The victims briefly held hands as they were walking home. They were called "faggots" and attacked by a group of four men. Both students were punched multiple times.
The Facebook event asks that attendees come wearing a white shirt or top to represent unity for peace and bring signs that call for an end to hate crimes against our LGBTQIA community. After the rally, protesters will line up holding hands to show that no one deserves to be hurt for showing affection.
The rally will be receiving coverage from all the locals news networks, the Cincinnati Enquirer, and CityBeat.
RSVP to the Facebook event and invite all your friends!
