Interesting topic. I have said before that any group, no matter what their agenda, that attempts to force their position or beliefs upon another engages in self delusion and a total lack of 'tolerance'. If, as a Christian (or other faith follower), I believe that certain behavior is "wrong", I have a right to that belief. I wonder if gays and lesbians founded a college, whether they would object to an organization coming in that represented accepted judeao-christian beliefs concerning homosexuality and demanded they be recognized.
Since the school in question is a private institution, they have, in my opinion, a right to their beliefs. Had this been a "public" institution, things might be considered differently.
Z.....I am all for open dialogue, but not with those who challenge the stand of another totally with no hope of compromise or understanding. I applaud your school's tolerance and decorum under this obvious "attack" on their religious stand.
In part, those who fight the hardest for certain causes are the most insecure in their beliefs that their cause is just and are looking for verification and acceptance.
I will not judge the homosexual lifestyle, but do feel that, in nature, it appears to be flawed. Whether is it "genetic" or "choice", makes no difference. It is not the fact that an individual has those tendencies, it is the acting on those tendencies that apparently upsets heteros.
Interesting how our society has changed in the last 30 years or so. If "The Odd Couple" or "Laverne and Shirley" were introduced today, a lot of people would assume the characters were homosexual, simply because two people of the same sex live together.
