OU regent gay comment ignites outrage

OKLAHOMA CITY — The University of Oklahoma Board of Regents scheduled to meet Tuesday amid calls for board member Kirk Humphreys to resign.

Humphreys compared gay people to pedophiles during an interview with an Oklahoma City television station that aired on Sunday.

An OU alumni group called for his resignation.

The student body president encouraged the campus to voice its opinion on Humphreys' "ignorant" words.”

OU's president said he disagreed with the views.

Humphreys said in a statement Monday night that he regretted his comments and that he didn't mean to equate gay people with pedophiles.
