No Gays, No Group

The topic of gays and lesbians is a hot and controversial one. Another debate has begun about them at the University of California's Hastings College of the Law and it is being brought in front of the Supreme Court this upcoming Monday.

The Supreme Court will decide whether the law school violated the constitutional rights of a Christian group at the school by being denied recognition as an official campus organization because it excludes gays and lesbians. The college requires officers and voting members to share their religious beliefs, including that "Christians should not engage in sexual conduct outside of a marriage between a man and a woman." The article states, "The justices agreed to intervene in a case that pits anti-discrimination policies common college campuses against freedoms of religion and association".

I can see this case going either way. Discrimination is wrong, but the group is being denied recognition for their religious beliefs. Because I am so anti-discriminatory, pro- gay, and not so religious, I think it is right to not recognize the group. They are leaving people out because of something they can't even control and they think that's okay. I understand that everyone has their own beliefs but these beliefs are unfair, discriminatory, and the group does not deserve to be recognized.
