(AP) -- The openly gay student assembly president at the University of Michigan who claims he's been frequently harassed by an assistant state attorney general says a blog attacking him is hurtful. Chris Armstrong told CNN in a taped interview broadcast Wednesday night that he hopes to make something positive of the situation by speaking out and offering a message to other young people who might be facing harassment.
Armstrong filed for a personal protection order last month, citing harassment by Andrew Shirvell over a five-month period. Shirvell went on personal leave last week from his job. He earlier told CNN that he regards his criticism of Armstrong as a political campaign.
Neither Shirvell nor Armstrong have returned phone and e-mail messages from The Associated Press.
