PASADENA, California, January 16, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – Two graduate students who were expelled from an Evangelical seminary after it was discovered both were “married” to members of the same sex have filed a $2 million lawsuit claiming sex discrimination.

The lawsuit, brought by plaintiffs Joanna Maxon and Nathan Brittsan, was filed in the U.S. District Court for Central California against Fuller Theological Seminary in Pasadena.

Maxon filed suit in November and was joined last week by Brittsan.

‘A dangerous argument’

At issue is Federal Title IX rules that ban discrimination on the basis of sex, but which beginning with the Obama administration have increasingly been stretched to include sexual orientation and gender identity.

The case is an important one because it could force faith-based institutions that accept federal funding and reject the notion of same-sex “marriage” to either drop federal funding or drop prohibitions against same-sex “marriage.”

“That’s one of the main implications,” Paul Southwick, the attorney representing Brittsan and Maxon, told Religion News Service (RNS).

They need to drop the federal funding. You have to sell your soul to accept them. Hillsdale has it right.

Just like the 2 faggots who sued the bakery, I smell another b.s. lawsuit..

Federal funding does not bu freedom.

[wastedyears]

Should be unconstitutional to do such a thing.

They want to smash organized religion.

Homosexuals wanted to smash monogamy, marriage and normalcy was never the goal.

The pro-gay attorneys in Obergefell already said that “gay marriage” would be a “problem” for such institutions. But they justices just ignored that threat.

I disagree. Federal funding is OUR money - funds confiscated from Christians - too. We should have a say in how it is used.
