| Transcript | "I think people are awkward with their own sexuality and are being conditioned by traditional values they were brought up with," said shane. -Photo by Cesar Alvarez Stirs controversy where ever he goes and what ever he does hane patrick boyle: A Shock to the System There may not have been anyone as controversial this year as shane patrick boyle. He shares his views on topics from homosexuality to religion in his editorial columns in The Daily Cougar and most find him extremely offensive. Shane is a self-proclaimed queer anarchists who is not bashful about sharing his opinions on the subject. ".../ awoke from a dream about a threesome with Keanu Reeves and River Phoenix and saw someone standing over my bed. It was Santa Clause... he held some clippings of my column...and pointed at me and said, You've been a naughty boy this year. "I like to wake people up about topics that aren't addressed at all or aren't from the angle I view them," said shane. Students at UH either love shane for speaking his mind or are disgusted by him for speaking his mind. "I think shane is great. It's nice to have someone who is willing to stake his reputation to shake things up," said Senior Susan Spring. Most people would never talk about their sexuality in public, shane patrick boyle makes it a habit. "I think people are awkward with their own sexuality and are being conditioned by traditional values they were brought up with," said shane. Last year shane ran for the Student Associations' presidential position under the Revolutionary Activist Party. His main goal was to eliminate salaries from compensated positions and ultimately abolish the organization. "I was generally going to dismantle S A because it is suppose to be a student voice; in fact it's a wall between students and the administration," said shane. He lost to this years president Jason Fuller. "I didn't expect to get elected I ran to raise issues." Shane is definitely not the most loved person at UH. Some even quiver at the mere mention of his name, but shane does what very few are willing to do- make people think. - JoAnn Stephens 64 63) Student Life |
