Rutgers suicide prompts new focus on anti-gay harassment; Four weeks until voters decide O’Malley-Ehrlich race
Tuesday we convened a special panel to talk about the Rutgers University student who took his life after his roommate posted a web video of him having sex with another man.
The death of Tyler Clementi, a talented musician from northern New Jersey, and several other young people has sparked a national dialogue about anti-gay harassment.
Our guests talked about social media and technology, which they agreed is a double-edged sword.
You can see the first part of our interview with Andrew Barnett of SMYAL, Ty Cobb of HRC and Penn State researcher Dr. Sue Rankin today at 4pm & 6pm when NewsTalk re-airs on TBD TV.
You can also see segment one of our interview with Susie Turnbull, head of the Maryland Democratic Party, and Audrey Scott, head of the Maryland Republican Party. Our focus: the race pitting Gov. Martin O’Malley (D) against former governor Bob Ehrlich (R).
Segment two of that Q&A is here:
Wednesday at 10am on NewsTalk: Ward 8 Councilman Marion Barry, DC police union head Kris Baumann, and Dr. DeRionne Pollard, president of Montgomery College.
