A wee update on This Post<\/a>, concerning the kid who is suing his college<\/a> because he couldn’t give an anti same-sex marriage speech in his public speaking class…<\/p>\n

Exactly what Lopez said in Matteson’s class is unclear. Lopez turned down an interview request, Matteson did not respond to e-mails, and French said he did not know enough about the speech to detail it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

So we still don’t know what it was he actually said.  And that’s the crux of the entire episode.  But…dig it.  Lopez, the kid who is suing (through the courtesy of the culture warriors at the Alliance Defense Fund), isn’t saying.  Now…why would he not want to tell anyone what it was he actually said?  Better yet…why would couldn’t the reporters covering this story not be bothered to find out?<\/p>\n

His Alliance Defense Fund mouthpiece (French) says Lopez spoke two verses from the bible that "had nothing to do with homosexuality."  But…look at this…he’s not saying what they were.  If he knows for a fact that they had nothing to do with homosexuality, then he knows what they were and he can tell the reporters what they were.  If he doesn’t know what Lopez actually said then he can’t say that they had nothing to do with homosexuality.<\/p>\n

They’re being very evasive here.  It’s not hard to figure why.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
