GAY TRUTH

Even though representatives of the Christian-oriented Chick-fil-A reportedly went so far as to offer to partner with homosexual student group “Rainbow Alliance” to help them get established on the Catholic college campus, they were rejected. “Following pushback from clubs and independent students over LGBTQ issues and menu offerings, the university has opted to decline an Aramark proposal to install a Chick-fil-A in the Ram Café,” reported the  Fordham Observer . The  Rainbow Alliance  was joined by three other Fordham student groups in fighting to keep Chick-fil-A off Fordham’s campus: United Student Government, Commuter Students Association, and the Residence Hall

Some college students at Pittsburgh’s Duquesne University are claiming, like Chicken Little , that the sky is falling. Sadly, given these crazy times, that’s no longer really news. We’ve seen a steady stream of reports about scholars being driven off campus by mobs of triggered students, of speakers being disinvited or losing announced awards because of their Judeo- Christian beliefs —all in the name of tolerance, diversity, and “safe spaces”!
