From the looks of the statement, it would have been a mix of people. Some believing in libertine standards for homosexuals, but others who saw nothing wrong with WWJD vis a vis drinking.
Notre Dame and Georgetown — are you listening?
It’s fine for them to force us to perform abortions in our hospitals and provide teens with morning after drugs without parental notification, birth control free for all... I suspect the school.knew what the outcome would be and set the plan in motion! Good for them!!!
I guess Shorter is now shorter.
Just sign it and pretend you’re living by those moral codes. I bet the smarter ones did that
Shorter has always been an old-fashioned Baptist school, with everything that implies - the news media is being a bit disingenuous here (I'm shocked! I tell you! Shocked!), because the agreement also bans adultery, fornication, drinking anywhere but in private, and a bunch of other stuff that old-fashioned Southern Baptists frown upon. If you want to live la vida loca, Shorter is just not where it's at.
They have always had a good music program. My paternal grandmother was Class of '12 in Opera Performance. Sang at the Met, then came home, got married (to another singer), and was a church soloist for years at St. Peter's (the Episcopalians bagged the name before the Catholics got to town). Dad's earliest memory is sitting between his parents in the choir.
Either you have faith or you do not.
If you don’t do not say you do.
At least these people have the courage of their convictions.
Unusual for Liberals.
Their lack of ethics led them to take an ethical stand.
Really quite a simple agreement:

Well, that’s one way to get rid of the faggotry and make the place safer for the normal people.
Like the title says, “Good riddance.”
Dumb asses.
The College gets what it wants and you get to be unemployed.
Works for me...
