I am Chris Kelly, an openly gay student at the University of Mississippi. I hope that by making this stuff known, it can be the first step to replacing hate with tolerance and acceptance.

Welcome to the Homophobia Gallery. Follow the links below to view some graffiti I had the opportunity to view as a resident of Kincannon Hall in Spring 2002. (Good thing Housing removed these quickly) Two notes. One, these might take a while to load. Two, you will need to use your back button, since I have no superior navigation methods yet.

This is some graffiti and such that my roommate and I have received over the past month or so. The room number has been blurred out on the first six pages.

Many thanks to all who have been so supportive. Thanks to a hall meeting on February 4 by Housing, the graffiti itself stopped. However, it's not over yet. We still have to address the more pervasive issue of homophobia on campus. I have been meeting with various campus officials over the past few weeks, and they have been nice to me. I am hoping we can get the University administration to come out (no pun intended) publicly against this type of harassment, though I'm very pessimistic about the prospects. Regardless, as much awareness as possible needs to be raised, so please share this link with anyone and everyone you know that would be interested. If you would like to help further, you could see if you could get any news source (TV station, campus paper, newspaper, etc.) to print an article about this harassment. You may contact me at my e-mail address listed below. Here are links to contact information for the Chancellor, the Provost, and The Daily Mississippian (the campus newspaper). Here are directions for sending a Letter to the Editor to the Daily Mississippian (note, if you send a letter or contact anyone, please be sure to include the address for this page [http://www.oocities.org/gothboy_17] because few people actually know about this stuff). Many thanks to everyone! God bless y'all!!
