1. Who cares? Those colleges are private entities and presumably this admissions discrimination means they cannot receive Federalor state funds. If admitting gay students goes against their religious beliefs, then the rest of us benefit from having the people they reject.
2. It is not up to us to tell other families who they can and can't marry, or what they can or can't think. Let the bigots be bigots in their bigoted bubble, as long as they don't hurt anyone outside it. (If their children wish to leave the bubble, we should protect and support them privately.)
3. A cop shooting a black person for dating a white girl is homicide, independent of anyone's beliefs.

- slantaclaus 2y agoI don’t give a fuck if Bob Jones University rejects homosexuals and neither should anyone.
- LeafItAlone 2y agoWell, I do. Sorry if that offends you, I guess. Let them discriminate on acceptable characteristics, such as grades, extra curricular activities, and legacy status like every other college.

- zug_zug 2y agoWell for all the whinging about how biased-to-the-left universities are, it sure seems ironic that the only colleges that explicitly banning attendance over different opinions are colleges on the right. If somebody complains persistently about all the times the "woke" is unfair but conveniently forgets to mention a single time conservatives are unfair then I can only presume either they are not very educated about the facts of our world, or intentionally misrepresenting the facts of our world.
- moshegramovsky 2y agoRight, but the problem is that consequences for a cop shooting a black person for dating a white girl don't seem to be the same as the consequences for homicide.
- zahlman 2y agoCan you cite a case where this happened and the consequences were unreasonably light?
- zug_zug 2y agoThere's stuff all the time: https://eji.org/news/alabama-attorney-general-releases-white-police-officer-convicted-of-killing-unarmed-black-man/ https://eji.org/news/alabama-attorney-general-releases-white... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americans_killed_by_law_enforcement_officers_in_the_United_States https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unarmed_African_Americ... Or here's a case where 6 officers collude to torture 2 black people to death (https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-guilty-pleas-civil-rights-e4937b4cd1d2ed2388b2fd1c3aeefcb9 https://apnews.com/article/mississippi-deputies-guilty-pleas...). Surely they'll get a real sentence now that it's news, but it makes you wonder how many cases never get identified as racially-based when the investigators are the perpetrators. And boy it sure does seem odd that further south you go the more of a problem it is... I wonder what could explain that phenomenon....
