What Exactly Did She Say?

Harvard’s gay, lesbian and surgically altered have their feather boas ruffled over remarks by Jada Pinkett Smth at the school’s Cultural Rhythms show for, get this... being to heterosexual.

"Some of the content was extremely heteronormative, and made BGLTSA members feel uncomfortable,'' Bisexual, Gay, Lesbian, Transgender, and Supporters Alliance co-chairman Jordan Woods told the Harvard Crimson.
And what exactly where here offending words? (WARNING: Liberal activists, ACLU lawyers, journalists, celebrities, and the otherwise reality-challenged, read no further. You will find this... horrifying)
“Don’t let anybody define who you are,” she said. “Don’t let them put you in a box. Don’t be afraid to break whatever ceiling anybody has put on you.”

She told the audience about her childhood with teenage parents both addicted to heroin, but triumphantly exclaimed, “I can stand here on this stage and say that I’ve proven them all wrong.”

She then addressed issues regarding the roles of men and women today.“Women, you can have it all—a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career,” she said.

“They say you gotta choose. Nah, nah, nah. We are a new generation of women. We got to set a new standard of rules around here. You can do whatever it is you want. All you have to do is want it.”“To my men, open your mind, open your eyes to new ideas. Be open,” she added.
Of course, this comes as no surprise as Harvard has taken the lead in being a critical opponent of hate speech everywhere. For example, take their exposé on Ward Churchill’s hate filled rhetoric:
