San Diego Union Tribune: Colleges’ gay clubs clash with officials over name
SAN DIEGO – Members of gay and lesbian clubs at two San Diego community colleges say campus administrators have violated their free speech rights by repeatedly blocking attempts to advertise their shared acronym: FAGS.
Jason Frye, president of the clubs on both campuses, said San Diego City College administrators took down the club’s posters and instructed members to stop passing out fliers with the acronym. At San Diego Mesa College, Frye said, the club was told during Rush Week to remove a poster from its booth.
Frye stands by the use of the acronym for the club, whose full name is The Fellowship of Associated Gay Students & Straight Allies.
