Canadian SC: Christian law school can't forbid students from gay sex

[essentialsaltes]

Canada’s top court has ruled in favour of denying accreditation to a Christian law school that banned students from having gay sex.

Friday’s ruling against Trinity Western University in British Columbia (BC) was closely watched by both religious freedom and gay rights advocates.

The university made students promise not to have extra-marital or gay sex.

The Supreme Court found that protecting LGBT students from discrimination trumped religious freedom.

Cave to Canada's social vision or lose your accreditation?

No such restriction was imposed on faculty or admins?

So ? The courts and so-called 'justice system' has been wrong so often, that's expected.

The Bible said that would happen also, written about 2000 years ago, accurately describing the perversion like sodom and gomorrah that would engulf the whole society. (including oppressing the poor)

You can have whatever social vision you like. You just can't force it on your students.

I guess I'll never understand why some Christians obsess over what kind of sex gay couples have. That's just a little too creepy for me. It's none of my business what goes on behind the closed doors of another consenting adult's bedroom. The love life of other consenting adults is none of my concern.

Except for the LGBTG community apparently...
They can force their convictions on anybody..

Who can't ? (this has nothing at all to do with social vision, btw)

Jesus required all of His students who follow Him to "go and sin no more".

There were/are various judgments or disciplines if they disobey.

It is of concern only to those abiding in the Kingdom of Yahweh, alive in Jesus.

Actually, it might well be of concern to others also, because of the great punishments and evils that accompany perversion. (just to be around it)

I believe staff are still subject to such a rule.

Wait . . . did they leave the banning of extramarital heterosexual activity in place?

What if it's not an obsession but a conviction?
Why would gays go to a Christian University anyway?

What's the next thing you won't care about? Consensual sex with children? Or consensual inappropriate behavior with animals (because animals don't mind)?

The love life of other consenting adults is none of my concern.

Nor is anything God has said your concern, perhaps.
So you won't choose a Christian university for your education then.

I would be very happy if it was behind closed doors. Please, please bring back the closed doors and stop rubbing everyone's face in it.

Nobody has ever had to change their convicted opinion that race-mixing or gay marriage is wicked. They just don't get to prevent race-mixing or gay marriage.

Are you frequently encountering gay couples engaged in sex? If so you may want to reconsider the places you frequent.

There's no such thing as consensual sex with children because children can't consent. Why is that so hard to understand?

Really? When was the last time you were forced to have gay sex, exactly?

Me being allowed to do something in my own home is not forcing you to do anything.

Lol.

I know quite a few gay people and I've never seen that.

I don't actually know, but possibly nobody sued them over that part. As I understand it, the school no longer makes it mandatory for students to sign the 'covenant' at all, so neither clause applies.

To get a Christian education probably.

Fascist homosexuals,"It's none of your business what I do on your property."

Said no one ever.

Fascist homosexuals, "It's none of your business what I teach your church."

When do people teach churches?

Fascist homosexuals, "You can have whatever social vision you like. You just can't force it on your students."

Said me. Please be aware I do not self-identify as a fascist homosexual.

Do not be deceived, those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Neither will angry new users with 1 post.
