Left-wingers are very strong in most universities these days, and they can stir up a lot of trouble for the administration unless they get what they want. And nothing is more popular with the left at the moment than sexual perversion. That's obviously what's happening here. It's very unfortunate.

One route you might try is to get in touch with directors or board members of some of the local Catholic hospitals and maybe the Bishop of Detroit and see if they can put a little pressure on UMMC from a different direction. Presumably they want to place their medical students in good positions, and an awful lot of jobs are found in Catholic colleges.

The thing to do would be to network with the right people. It would be better to put the pressure on behind the scenes, rather than pick an open fight with gay/lesbian activists.

But if I know college administrators (and I've been dealing with them all my life) they will usually take the easy way out by placating whichever faction is likely to cause them the most trouble. There are honorable exceptions, but they are extremely rare.

The problem here is that the Michigan State Medical Society, which approves the application of CME credits for any continuing medical education program in the state, has arbitrarily pulled 2 of the 6 CME credits for this medical conference.

Its not easy to get the State Medical Society bureacracies to do anything, let alone reverse a boneheaded decidion like this. The Medical Societies are made up of Medical Doctors, not the most humble types willing to correct injustice in my experience.
