It appears the t-shirt distribution was a project of the Xavier Alliance, with funding from the Student Activities Council and the Intercultural Programming Funding Board.

Xavier Alliance is the campus chapter of the Gay-Straight Alliance. Its mission statement says:

The Xavier Alliance is established to provide a safe place for people of all sexual orientations to meet, offer opportunities to learn, teach and discuss the challenges surrounding sexual orientation within the teaching of the Catholic Church and build community spirit, mutual understanding and support for all.

Their webpage explains more about the Xavier Alliance within the Jesuit, Catholic tradition:

At the core of being a Jesuit institution is the service of faith through the promotion of justice. Part of the way the Society of Jesus deals with the injustice of prejudice is through the promotion of justice in bringing the marginalized to the mainstream.

The Xavier Alliance, within the teaching of the Catholic Church, brings people of sexual minorities into the mainstream so that everyone can consider carefully the issues that people of sexual minorities face.

There is a term for this kind of statement…it’s one I probably should not use here though.

Are the initials of the term BS? If so, you are right.

So it’s tolerated, but not accepted? When is this going to stop? I thought tolerance was the goal. Do we all need to be gay so people will stop feeling marginalized? You know, one day when they’ve killed all the Christians and there’s nobody around to tell them their “lifestyle choice” is wrong, they will still feel it is wrong because it is wrong. Same sex attraction is a disorder that needs treatment, not confirmation. I feel sick for all these people struggling with same sex attraction who arne’t getting the help they need because society is now telling them they need to be accepted for their disorder, not given supportive therapy to overcome or deal chastely with it.

In my humble opinion, it is all vague, modernist, double talk at its best. The Church teaches that it is gravely immoral. Why isn’t that enough?
