As I was reading the news today I noticed there was ANOTHER article regarding excluding people based on their sexual orientation.
At University of California's Hastings College of the Law, in San Fransisco, a group called the Christian Legal Society is suing the school! Why? Because they want to be recognized as a school organization with school funding. The college rightfully denied CLS from becoming a fully sanctioned group because they wanted to prevent members of non-hetero sexuality from being in the upper ranks of running the group(not being members but "club officers".)
Here is a quote from the groups lawyer:
"CLS has all of its activities entirely open to everyone," lawyer Michael McConnell said. "What it objects to is being run by non-Christians."
So in other words, even though the point of this group is to join together in the light of God and share love and scriptures, they are in fact spreading their homophobic ways unto others. I personally feel the urge to sue due to libel! This statement is saying that anyone who is not hetero cannot be a Christian!(Well, if I was a Christian perhaps I would care more).
ANYWHO,
The lawsuit was previously thrown out by a federal judge in 2004. So now it has landed itself in the Supreme Court, which quickly divided down the middle on what's right and wrong. They are not expected to have a ruling on this issue until this coming summer.
If you would like to read the article written by JESSE J. HOLLAND with AP you can view the following:

Is there any issue, article or any thing else that you would like to discuss or get my opinion on? Let me know! No issue it too taboo(well no issue is taboo enough to at least address..not necessarily discuss).
Also, let me know your opinions on what I've said or covered so far. Feel free to let me have it, I quite enjoy CONSTRUCTIVE critisism.
One last note, although this has turned into (basically) a GBLTQA blog, feel free to discuss other issues. What I have discussed are just issues that hit close to home for me. Let me know if there is something whether Gay-Community related or not that you would like to be brought to light!
