"Just last week while walking around campus, a group of students started to express their feelings about me behind my back, knowing that I could hear them," the letter read. "One of the students responded, and I quote, 'Man, my gaydar has just skyrocketed. Do you think I should tell this ->-bleeped-<- that being gay is a sin, and he is going to burn in hell?Ҕ
