VOLUME 107 ISSUE 22 WWW.ALLIGATOR.ORG FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2012 Students, faculty march in response to hate crime � THE CRIME HAPPENED LAST WEEK AT THE LAW SCHOOL.

KATHRYN VARN Alligator Contributing Writer

Santa Fe College history student Jeremiah Cleghorn carried a sign that read, “We won’t wait for full equal- ity.” UF alumna Diana Moreno walked a bike with a gi- ant rainbow fl ag billowing at its rear. Other marchers held balloons decorated with “Queer + Proud” and “Go Gaytors” messages. Students, faculty members and alumni participated Thursday in March Against Hate, a demonstration or- ganized by UF Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Affairs, Pride Student Union and the Gators Coalition for an Inclusive Campus. The march was a response to last week’s hate crime against a UF Levin College of Law professor, said Bridg- et Siegel, Pride president. “It was something we knew we had to do right away,” she said. About 75 students gathered at Peabody Hall to walk through campus chanting, clapping and following a solidarity banner signed by LGBT supporters. By the time the march ended on Turlington Plaza, the group had amassed more than 100 people. UF President Bernie Machen left a Board of Trustees retreat at Lake Wauburg to speak to members of the Brett Le Blanc / Alligator Staff march. Students march down Buckman Drive during March Against Hate on Thursday afternoon in response to last week’s hate He addressed the crowd, denouncing the hate crime against a UF Levin College of Law professor.

Editorial We were bombarded this week by two things: rain and voter registration volunteers. One was an annoying pest and the other could actually be relevant to your life as a citizen of this country. Between rain boots, football wins and looming exams, it’s defi nitely Fall at UF.
