Not exactly. I said that the characterization of this being the gay fella's fault for dressing funny was akin to blaming the rape on the scantily clad woman. Yeah, a little simplistic, but not too over the top. Appearing a certain way absolutely never invites someone to commit battery or worse against you. Never. I didn't take the rape analogy and run with it, nor did I defend it.
I had remarked also that I thought this chapter failed on several levels--both during the event where this could have all been prevented with a guest list, or even security enforcing some loosely defined dress code. I also remarked that the chapter failed to adequately circle the wagons after the event, the alumnus should have stayed quiet and referred everything to his personal legal counsel so he wouldn't say anything dumb (which he did) which could get him in worse trouble than he was already in.
