Strange situation down in Houston where a gay-themed poem was literally ripped out of the biannual literary magazine of the University of St. Thomas, a small Catholic institution, by student staffers after the magazine was published.
Seems the poem, entitled Lusting Chaos, had been accepted by the magazine's "poetry committee" (editing a literary magazine by committee -- now there's a bad idea) but ultimately rejected by the faculty advisor. Nevertheless someone (the poem's author says it wasn't him) snuck the poem into a pile of accepted work and it wound up in the finished product. Staffers only discovered the mistaken inclusion at the magazine's release party in the library.
It doesn't say when the tearing-out took place, but it could be that everyone at the party had a rip-roaring time.
