Joanna Maxon, a 53-year-old student at Fuller Theological Seminary, is suing the school for expelling her just a few credits shy of graduating, after administrators found out she was married to another woman. Joanna is claiming that the federally funded school is violating Title IX rules that prohibit sex discrimination. Paul Southwick, Maxon’s attorney, alleges the school also violated the Unruh Civil Rights Act and is seeking compensation of at least $500,000 to cover attorney fees and Maxon’s federally funded student loans, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Central California.

What I find absurd is not the expulsion, but the fact that a homosexual person thinks that nothing wrong will come out of their association with a religious institution. Is this person going to tellme that there were not other institutions available?
I'll say what I told my homosexual Lit students years ago (especially those who insisted on arguing that the bible did not discriminate or condemn--obviously they had not read it well or fully--, or those who tried to argue under the assumption that god is love and therefore any form of discrimination was going against god itself): unless you create your own sacred book where homosexuals and other kinds of infidels are accepted and loved, do not get even close to a religious organization. Sooner or later they'll demand certain changes you will not be able or willing to afford.
