This country did not become great because we excluded certain people from our lives. It became great and influential and powerful because of the exact opposite: we as a people demanded that we each INCLUDE as many others as possible who are different from us… to break down the US/THEM wall as much as possible, to reduce the wall to as low a wall as possible.

I hope our Supreme Court Justices have the decency and wisdom to see that.

Let alone the fact that millions of christians are L, G, B or T…. meaning they are not the “right” kind of christian for some “other” christians to want to associate with…

One does get tired of these so-called Christians talking about other people’s sinfulness and supposedly immoral lifestyles. Given the current make-up of the Supreme Court, I wouldn’t be surprised to see a ruling against the gay & lesbian students. One bill that needs to get moving in this Congress is Jarod Polis’ Student Non-Discrimination Act, because this will ease discrimination against gay & lesbian students and likewise prevent backward states like Virginia from passing laws that ban the existence of gay-straight student alliance organizations.
On another front, I understand that Congress is going to take up the issue of full voting rights for Washington DC’s Congressional Representative. I fully support this idea, but I am also worried that the gay bashing religious right Republicans will use the occasion to tack on an amendment to the bill that calls for a public referendum on same-sex marriage in DC. If polls are to be believed, then a public vote by DC residents would result in a ban on same-sex marriage. Hopefully, this won’t happen, but these hate mongers are relentless and I fully expect to see this tactic when the bill is being argued.

The issue before the court is not what the club should do, but what it has a Constitutional right to do.

Who decides what constitutes “acts of the sinful nature” or what is “a sexually immoral lifestyle” ?
We Christians can’t even agree among ourselves what is or is not sinful or immoral. Since Christians have a diversity of beliefs, why should not a Christian club accommodate those beliefs without adherence to only one narrow-minded, mean-spirited interpretation.
