Hi Sherry,
I really don't think its necessary - my point is that if someone thinks that the law has been violated and wants it enforced, they should call a cop and/or an attorney. The debate tournament is not equiped to deal with those claims.
That being said, our debaters critique the heteronormativity in traditional international relations scholarship and in traditional academic debating. They suggest that the results of heteronormativity have resulted in the structuring of terrorism and queerness in similar ways. They attempt to "interrupt these discourses, informed by queer pedagogy, by performing a narrative which involves explicit language and some abbreviated, fully clothed similated sex acts. The accusation was that our performance was sexual harassment.

I have to agree with Neil. There is no way for anyone to add constructive comments or opinions about this issue when they have no idea what you are talking about. Whether you want to debate the merits of the claim or not, some brief explanation of what the issues are -- what is your argument? what is the nature of the accusation of illegality? -- is necessary. Surely, if someone threatens to kill someone else in a debate round, that is not protected speech just because it occurred in the setting of a debate round.
