Students across the country to walk out in protest of discrimination by religious schools
Religion News Service ^ | Oct 10, 2022

(RNS) — Queer students like Veronica Bonifacio Penales, who have been protesting religious university policies they call discriminatory and homophopic, often find themselves confronting the same question: “Why would you go to a Christian school if you are LGBTQ?”

For many of these students, this fight at religiously affiliated universities is part of a larger push happening from within Christianity toward more inclusive beliefs to, as activists at Seattle Pacific University put it, “deconstruct harmful theologies on sexuality, gender and queerness.”

And, as they’ve reminded their thousands of social media followers: “You can be queer and Christian.”

“We shouldn’t have to compromise where we go because they don’t want to accept who we are,” said Penales, a student at Baylor University, a Baptist school in Waco, Texas. “Baylor has taught me what I don’t want my religion to be.”

“You can be queer and Christian.”

A questionable assertion. You should acknowledge that it is a sin. You should repent. You should not actively live that lifestyle.

I'd say these people fail all tests and if they walk out, hopefully they will never come back. The schools will be the better for it.

And WHY would any student want to attend a religious school when that student obviously does not agree with the foundational beliefs of the religion that sponsors the school? Answer....to figure out how to destroy that school from the inside. To hate the religious beliefs of others is still hate. Interesting, though, that we never hear of madrassas being sued to allow non-muslims to attend. Unless, of course, I missed it in the news somewhere. Not pretty but pretty simple.

No, you can't. Even a cursory examination of the Bible dispels that notion. Oh, wait, silly me, they either don't believe the Bible or have accurate so-called Bibles.

“You can be queer and Christian”

You can be a necrophiliac and Christian.
You can engage in beastiality and be Christian.
You can be a Satanist and be Christian.

Who do they hurt by walking our?

Not the instructors, they still get paid.
Not the schools, they still get paid?

This is a pointless as someone going on a eight hour hunger strike just before going to bed to sleep.

If there’s anything school inmates can agree on, it’s that they don’t want to go to school.
