Hate gays or be fired

What is being called a Christian “liberal” arts college in Rome, Georgia, USA, has “announced a policy which will require its more than 200 employees to sign a ‘Personal Lifestyle Statement’ rejecting homosexuality”.

Religionists again, obsessing about what people do with their bits and pieces.

LGBTQ Nation (linked to above) tells us, of Shorter University:

The university’s president, Don Dowless, made it clear any staffer not signing the agreement faces immediate termination. The policy also requires staffers to reject premarital sex and adultery, prohibits consumption of alcoholic beverages in front of students, or attending university events within six hours of consuming alcohol.

A Shorter University student who asked not to be identified said the university was “judging others, contrary to what the Bible teaches”. Good point. Well, they’ll get their reward in Heaven – or that other place.

Post a Comment

We welcome lively and challenging comments. However, please try to stay on topic, be polite and do not use abusive, racist or sexist language, and do not incite your readers to violence or other antisocial behaviour, or your comment will be deleted. This isn't censorship: it's a case of staying within the bounds of decency and having an eye to the law, although we realise the law will be different in different countries.

We do not bar anonymous comments at the moment, but we would prefer that those commenting play fair and use their name or at least a regular nom de plume. It does show a confidence in your convictions. We know, too, that it's easy to use a false name and be effectively anonymous, but, again, we appeal to your sense of good practice. Even a wacky nom de plume is better, since at least readers will come to know that contributor and maybe remember her or his previous comments.

Blatant commercial advertising will be removed.

Comments should not be construed as necessarily the policy or opinion of the Pink Triangle Trust.
