Southern California athletic director Pat Haden will not attend the College Football Playoff selection committee meeting in Indianapolis this week because of a new Indiana religious-freedom law that critics fear could permit discrimination against gays and lesbians.

Haden posted on Twitter at (at)ADHadenUSC: "I am the proud father of a gay son. In his honor, I will not be attending the CFP committee meeting in Indy this week. (hash)EmbraceDiversity."

Indiana is experiencing more than an Orwellian Two Minutes of Hate.

Just another person whe evidently hasn’t read the Constitution and its amendments.
14th Amendment, Section 1:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Doesn't he get paid to represent USC, not his son. Seems he's more than a bit confused.

Just wow!

This person holds a position of authority and makes decisions.

What a shame he makes such an uninformed decision.

No one should be forced to swallow the homosexual agenda. Indiana had a state constitutional law defining marriage as only between one man and one woman. A single judge decided to overturn the will of the people, which is why Indiana passed the Religious Freedom law. The Religious Freedom law is now the law of the land. I don’t see you or other homosexuals abiding by that law, so do not expect me to abide by your fake phony marriage laws.

So Haden is proud of his son because the son is a homosexual. Is living a homosexual lifestyle something that Haden aspired that his son experience? I would still love my son if he was gay but I don't see that being a homosexual or heterosexual for that matter is something to be proud of.

He’s most likely a puppet and is being told what to say/do by the powers that be.

“I am the proud father of a gay son.”

I cannot say deregulatory things about a father still “loving” his son should the son claim homosexual status.

However, to say “I am proud..” is disgusting. I suppose if he were to take up bestiality, he would be a proud father of whatever you would call that? How about if his son was to become a pederast to some catamite? Would he be the proud father of a pederast? Love has no limits, but acceptance of and embracing of deviancy does.

I’m not sure what you’re talking about in post 8. Were you wanting to reply to another FReeper?

The Founding States made the 10th Amendment (10A) to clarify that the Constitution’s silence about things like marriage means that such issues are automaticaly and uniquely state power issues. And since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect gay agenda issues, such as gay marriage, the states are free to make 10A-protected laws which prohibit gay marriage, as long as such laws don’t also unreasonably abridge constitutionally enumerated rights.

You used a complex word there...deviancy. To those on the left the only deviant thing is those on the right. And to say that I am proud to be straight is to say I have no compassion and thus no one is allowed to be proud.

So if his son was "straight" he would not be?

That’s a costly, time-consuming way to learn about Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.

On the other hand, I think that the left like making propaganda movies.
