Honestly, I don’t care who is having sex with whom. But I wish that ALL Americans believed in FREEDOM. Liberals pretend to be oh-so-tolerant, but really they only want their side of an issue to have a voice.

The latest example of this is at Georgetown University, where a Catholic student group is being threatened by a pro-LGBTQ group who filed a complaint against them. Why? Because the liberals believe that the Catholic group should lose their funding for “fostering hate and intolerance.”

What did they do? Good question. You’d think from their overreaction that they were out pushing around and bullying gay people. Of course, they did no such thing. The only “sin” this Catholic group had was the gall to be Catholic. The Washington Post reports:

Love Saxa advocates for marriage as “a monogamous and permanent union between a man and a woman,” the group states in its constitution. That definition of marriage happens to be in line with that espoused by the Catholic Church, raising the question of how administrators at Georgetown, the United States’ oldest Catholic and Jesuit institution of higher learning, will handle the controversy if it eventually comes before them.

“I suppose the question for Georgetown is whether they think Catholic kids can still be Catholic there,” said Chad Pecknold, a theology professor at the Catholic University of America.

Right. Remember when colleges used to portray themselves as places where people of different viewpoints can come and challenge each other? Be challenged? No more. Now, it’s a place where people never want to encounter people who are different than they are. And, by the way, half of Georgetown’s student body identifies as Catholic.

“We’re not trying to shame anyone for their choices or their decisions or who they are,” Amelia Irvine — the president of Love Saxa — said. “We’re trying to promote what we think healthy relationships are, what we think sexual integrity is.”

Wow. She seems like she needs to be silenced, doesn’t she?

Colleges are full of crazy ideas and stupid practices. If Georgetown takes the funding away from these Catholics trying to follow church teaching, it will be a very sad day.
