More Title IX Madness: Male Student Commits Suicide over Ruling

This one will make your blood boil: LINK
"You should consider killing yourself."
That's what Thomas Klocke, a straight male student at the University of Texas at Arlington, allegedly told a gay male classmate after finding out about his sexuality during class on May 19, 2016. The classmate filed a Title IX complaint with the university.
The problem? Klocke denied ever having made such a comment. In his version of the story, the classmate came on to him during class, calling him beautiful. Klocke felt uncomfortable, told the classmate he was straight, and moved to a different seat after the classmate wouldn't stop looking at him.
The classmate might have been worried Klocke would accuse him of sexual harassment, Klocke later guessed, because he immediately filed his own sexual harassment complaint against Klocke. The accuser told university officials that Klocke had called him a "****" and threatened to kill him.
Klocke maintained that he did no such thing, but the university sided with the accuser.
Days after discovering that a finding of responsibility could prevent him from getting in to grad school, Klocke committed suicide.
The original purpose of Title IX was to ensure equality between the sexes in education. In its present day iteration, Title IX is little more than a tool for irate students to exact vengeance on people who offended them.

Yea, because we should let males sexually advance on us without our approval

Sanctioned Extortion by the Federal Govt brought to you by an Autocratic Obama Administration which changed Title 9 rules without Congressional Approval.
The Accused is prohibited from challenging an Accuser's charges....Guilty an unable to prove innocence, pure Socialistic madness

It should be six asterisks, begin with "f" and end with "t".
And this one will make my blood boil since UT-Arlington is my alma mater.

I'm serious.
Not that I have tons of gay friends, but my wife is an architect and works with several gay guys. I have heard them laughing at at the assertion that they target straight guys to hit on.
For one thing, straight guys don't usually dress/groom well enough to pique their interest.

Wow really, commit suicide over not being able to go to grad school. I mean it really sucks that these POS administrators/gays took that from him, but suicide...

Terrible situation all around. The wages of sin is death...

The family of the boy who committed suicide should sue the hell out of that college and take them for everything they have.

I've been hit on by guys before, and I have seen my friends get hit on tol. One guy (coworker of my friend's wife) even got pretty drunk and explicitly told my wife what he would do to me.
And there are far better looking guys out there than me so I'm sure it occurs quite frequently.

Yeah, I was about to say the same thing. Like caricatures of each group.

I've been hit on multiple times myself, including an invitation to dinner (not by an acquaintance, but by someone I had literally known for 2 minutes).

While I am not a fan of what Title IX has become, this sounds not like a Title IX issue but a University of Texas issue, who handled it terribly by denying Klocke his due process rights.
