Assistant Michigan AG's Blatant Homophobia

Click To Increase Text Size: Normal Big Bigger

For nearly six months now, Assistant Attorney General Andrew Shirvell has been slandering a young man because of his sexual orientation.

Chris Armstrong, recently elected president of the University of Michigan's Student Government, has been the sole recipient of Shirvell's hate. Shirvell created the blog "Chris Armstrong Watch" in April and has created close to 30 articles so far.

"Welcome to ‘Chris Armstrong Watch,’” Shirvell wrote in his inaugural blog post. “This is a site for concerned University of Michigan alumni, students, and others who oppose the recent election of Chris Armstrong – a RADICAL HOMOSEXUAL ACTIVIST, RACIST, ELITIST, & LIAR – as the new head of student government.”

Attached to that post was this picture:


To actually be so blinded by your own hatred that you can call someone a Nazi just because of their sexuality proves how immature this insane man is. This is an opinion not only shared by me, but by the Attorney General of Michigan as well:

"Mr. Shirvell's personal opinions are his and his alone and do not reflect the views of the Michigan Department of Attorney General,” Cox said in the written statement provided by his office. “But his immaturity and lack of judgment outside the office are clear."

When attempting to view the blog, I received a message stating that "This blog is open to invited readers only. Permission Denied." Apparently, Shirvell has decided to lock out anyone that isn't specifically invited by himself.

I was able, however, to get cached pages. (A "Cached" page is a link that appears in the Google search results. By clicking on this link, you will get a version of the web page that Google saw when they visited. Google typically saves a version of the website when indexing.):

Welcome to Chris Armstrong Watch - Shirvell's first blog post.

Home Page - Includes a short sampling of recent articles.

Permission Denied Page - This is the actual address of the blog. Notice that you don't have permission to view.


Shirvell also told the local news station that his online postings were justified not because Armstrong is openly gay but because Armstrong is “somebody that’s there to promote special rights for homosexuals at the cost of, you know, heterosexual students.”

First of all, they aren't fighting for special rights; they are fighting for equal rights. And apparently they are right in thinking that they don't yet have equal rights, just look at this blabbering idiot.
