Poll: A senator who's speaking at the U-M law school graduation ceremony opposes gay rights, and some students don't want him to be allowed to speak. What should U-M do?

Allow the speaker. We all have the right to free speech.

Take back his invitation. Gay rights are civil rights.

Rather than get him gone, I would rather see nearly the entire student body stand and SILENTLY face away from him during his speech. THAT would send a message, I think. And it would also express MY sentiments, at least: "I understand there are people in the world with your views, but I turn away from you and those views, and I protest that you have a venue for your views while I don't (YET!)." One could still hear what he's saying. (It would be) no more disrespectful of HIM than he is of others.

It's the students' graduation, so the speaker should be their choice.

Is he speaking about gay rights? Otherwise, let him speak.
