RUTGERS SPY CAM

On the issue of the Rutgers web cam spy topic, I feel like this is a problem caused by our Christian society. kids will be kids....yes the parties involved were a little older, but they’re still kids doing stupid things. Yes had Dharun Ravi been peeking in a window it would have been just as much of an invasion of privacy as watching on a web cam, and he was wrong to invite others to watch but it was a stupid prank that in the end, devastated 2 families, and sparked a nationwide controversy. Not so much over the actual act of filming 2 consenting adults in an intimate moment, which I think everyone agrees was wrong, but the fact that they were 2 men caught doing something that "Society" and Christianity says is wrong, and Tyler Clementi being pushed emotionally to the point of suicide because of the embarrassment caused; either by friends, family, or peers finding out his "Secret". I don't know whether or not he was open about his sexuality, or kept it hidden, but I do know what ever the burden was, it was heavy enough to cause him to feel that suicide was the only solution. Our society and Christianity makes being “Gay” a big deal, and until that attitude is gone, these types of incidents will continue to happen, devastating even more lives and families.
