"Supreme Court of Canada says 7-2 decision will ensure open access for LGBT students"
A B.C.-based evangelical Christian university has lost its legal battle over accreditation for a planned new law school, with a Supreme Court of Canada ruling today saying it's "proportionate and reasonable" to limit religious rights in order to ensure open access for LGBT students.
In a pair of 7-2 rulings, the majority of justices found the law societies of British Columbia and Ontario have the power to refuse accreditation based on Trinity Western University's so-called community covenant. The mandatory covenant binds students to a strict code of conduct that includes abstinence from sex outside of heterosexual marriage.
The majority judgment said the covenant would deter LGBT students from attending the proposed law school, and those who did attend would be at risk of significant harm.

What a horrible country. I curse the fact that I was born there.
It’ll be just as bad here in a couple years, but thanks to the Masterpiece decision, everybody will smile sweetly while they toss the Christians to the lions.
Bigotry and hate speech is not only legal in Canada it’s now approved if it’s politically correct.
Sexuality is, was and always will be a voluntary act.
I wonder what would have happened if it were a Muslim rather than a Christian involved.
Unreal.
A private school must accept students being involved in sexual acts they disapprove of.
Heinlein was correct in this prediction as well, that the government would eventually push homosexuality.
He did so himself, though, so he was pushing it with that prediction.
Intolerance disguised as tolerance.
Remind me never to become Canadian. God is about to begin not keeping the land glorious and free.
This is Canada. Their commie libs are almost as crazy as ours are.
Guess they just completed the muzzie prayer room and toilet facility.
I’ve got a proposal: the United States will take every last Christian in Canada provided that they agree to take every last homosexual or transgender person from the US as well as a number of secular politically correct Leftist to bring the total to at least equal to the number of Christians moving to the US.
Good proposal.
Christian law schools in Canada will shut down.
Since the Supreme Court of Canada has now forced them to enroll students who don’t conform to the Christian life.
Then again, it shows how the Left is intolerant of traditional values and lifestyles.
Not quite.
Limitations on Christians- period.
Everyone else run wild.
Amen.
Bob Hope used to joke when homosexuality became mainstream, the Left would force everyone to embrace it.
Its stopped being a joke. That day is now here.
Just wait until the muzzies are in charge.
One day soon the Muslims and Liberals are going to have a hard time coexisting where their paths cross.
Our so called Charter of Rights and Freedoms is a Farce. Free speech is only permitted to those on the left, who are able to denigrate Christians and decency, while spewing filth and hatred. Freedom of Religion is defined as freedom from every religion except islam. 9 robed dictators delete or create rights, or limit those rights to favoured groups, with the stroke of a pen. We are doomed.
So does Ted Cruz.
You’ll only have to wait a few years to find out.
Canada has always been well ahead of the US in its quest for Politically correct insanity. If Hillary had won then we would have exceeded Canada in very short order.
And we should hasten that meeting in whatever way we can.
