ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) – The homosexual activist group Human Rights Campaign has targeted 23 institutions of higher learning with Southern Baptist ties in a report that also names 35 other colleges and universities with distinct Christian identities.
Released just before the 2015 Christmas season, the report, “Hidden Discrimination: Title IX Religious Exemptions Putting LGBT Students at Risk,” asks Obama Administration education officials to increase reporting requirements for these 58 schools because each was granted “exemptions of interest” relating to either “gender identity” or “sexual orientation” or both.
Unlike President Obama’s 2014 executive order on LGBT rights, affecting federal employees as well as contractors, which did not allow exemptions for religious organizations, the Title IX law does not apply to an educational institution “controlled by a religious organization” that has “contrary religious tenets.” However, individual schools must apply for specific exemptions and confirm they are either a divinity school or department, or, an educational institution that requires faculty, students and employees to be members of a specific religion, or, a college or university that essentially is an extension of a religious organization.

In all Christian charity, does this surprise anyone? Those who thought any additional advocacy would go away with the SCOTUS allowing gay marriage didn’t see this was merely another stepping stone towards advancing an agenda until our religious freedom is compromised.

This makes me sad.
 
I am not surprised. It has never been about equality for some people.

You are correct. The LGBTQ movement is not about equal rights. It is simply another tentacle of the progressive movement, whose goal is the destruction of alternative points of view. To the extent alternative views are expressed in religious schools, they will be attacked.
