College bans alcohol, gay sex for employees →
advocate.com
A Christian university in Georgia has required that its employees not engage in any “un-Christian” behavior - not on campus, not ever.
By that, Shorter University means employees of the school may not engage in any premarital sex, adultery or sexual acts with someone of the same gender. They may not drink in public in case students see them, or consume any alcohol within six hours of a school event.
Any employee who refuses to sign the new “Personal Lifestyle Statement,” approved on October 21, could face termination. The school employs 200 people.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I can’t even begin to count the number of things that are wrong with this. Please, share your thoughts?
“
But let’s say your eleven year-old has broken her leg rather badly and needs to be in the hospital a few days, which would you prefer: a nurse who’s proud of her lesbianism, who has rainbow identifiers on her work clothing, or a nurse who does not?
I would like to suggest that parents think long and hard about this. If you want your children to admire people who proclaim a homosexual lifestyle, their involvement with your child during a hospital stay is sure to be an influence. And let me be clear that folks involved in these behaviors can be certainly competent workers but they are tacking on to their workplace identity one that is highly offensive to many people and can be erroneously influential to children who won’t, or shouldn’t, see the whole picture of how this behavior really manifests itself.

I seem to be seeing an increasing amount of this bullshit lately. It seems that these people have sort of given up on scaremongering about child molestation, and now what they are deeply concerned about is simply that their children might see that gay people exist.
Because, you know, if children see that gay people exist, that they are kind and normal people, and that they are, well, just regular people, then those children might not be able to absorb enough irrational hatred for gay people from the indoctrination their parents are providing.
Rick Santorum compares his fight against marriage equality to Lincoln fighting slavery →

Well, the title pretty much explains it all.
In case you had any respect left for GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum, I beg of you to reconsider your views. This week, as a comeback to fellow candidate Herman Cain, Santorum essentially said his work fighting marriage equality was similar to Abraham Lincoln’s work fighting slavery.
“I have been a long-time advocate for states’ rights. However, I believe as Abraham Lincoln did – that states don’t have the rights to legalize moral wrongs.
“Mr. Cain, Congresswoman Bachmann and Governor Perry all believe 50 different definitions of marriage is fine, I strongly disagree and will continue fighting for traditional marriage between one man and woman.”
Marriage equality = slavery? Am I missing something?
Get. Over. Yourself. Traditional marriage is between one man and his property. We’ve come a long way. Change with the times, yeah? And maybe take a history class.
Brown won't allow ROTC because of trans discrimination →
advocate.com
Many colleges across the country have revoked their bans on ROTC programs and military recruiting on campus because the bans were based on the discrimination of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.
Brown University, however, will keep its ban on the ROTC program because the military still discriminates against transgender individuals.
Ruth J. Simmons called on the university to “commit to helping to arouse greater national attention to the discrimination of the military and others against transgender individuals.” And her proposal must now be considered by the university’s Corporation, which has final say.
“Many speak about the importance of service to the nation through the military and they are correct,” Simmons wrote. “However, to root out the manifestation and vestiges of discrimination from our national life is an equally important dimension of serving the nation.”Wow. Props for Brown’s integrity.
