Catholic Univ. student: Why do we have to tolerate SUBHUMAN gays?
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 09:57 PM by Bluebear
(AgapePress) - A student at a Catholic university in Pittsburgh is protesting the school's decision to punish him for opposing the formation of a homosexual student group on campus.

Duquesne University recently charged sophomore Ryan Miner with discrimination based on sexual orientation. Miner says he was punished for comments he made on a private website called Facebook.com after creating a group called "Against the Gay-Straight Alliance." Miner explains what happened.

"I had written a blog, and I used not the most prudent of words but words that I felt coincided within my faith in the Catholic Church," the student shares. "I said, 'Why do we have to tolerate the sub-human actions of people like this on campus?'"

Everything is fixing to boil over, folks. Something is going to give.

leading us to global environmental breakdown?

5. He needs to remember that every gay person was once a fetus.
Bet he loved them then.

7. I don't know what universe his Catholic Church exists in.
It bears absolutely no resemblance to the one I attended in this universe.

To Purgatory, Ryan. Judge not, lest ye be judged.

8. He called the ACLU?
Miner notes he has been contacted by several conservative legal groups, but has yet to receive a call from the American Civil Liberties Union.


I'm thinking he shouldn't wait by the phone.


I'm mildly impressed that Duquesne U took some action against this little jerk. Not harsh enough, but they did react. That's encouraging.
