Homosexual Activists Get Cold Shoulder at Christian Schools

I'm sorry that the Equality Riders are not getting the response they want, but I admire the Christian colleges for holding true to Biblical Truth and Moral Absolutes.

"As a Christian university," she (spokesperson, Haven Herrin -ed.) added, "you need to be true to what Jesus taught and the meaning of Christianity, which is love and inclusion and acceptance, not fear and discrimination and a lack of compassion for the reality of suffering."

Jesus also taught that we (that means everyone) are to stop sinning. Homosexuality is a sin. He did teach acceptance of Repentant sinners. Show me a Bible story where He met with unrepentant sinners. You can't, because it's not in there. He had very harsh words for the unrepentant sinner (the pharases and teachers of the law).
I'm so tired of these people perverting the Word of God in order to push their sinful agenda down our throats. Enough already. We (the Bible believing Christian) are not buying it!!

(CNSNews.com) - A busload of homosexual activists is running into some roadblocks on a cross-country trip to protest at Christian and military colleges.
The seven-week Equality Ride takes more than 30 young adults to 20 religious and military college campuses that the group says "ban the enrollment of GLBT (gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender) students."
The activists plan to hold vigils, Bible studies, classroom discussions, community forums and press conferences to oppose "the false notion that homosexuality is a 'sickness and a sin,'" according to the group's website.
The tour began on March 10 with a stop at Liberty University in southwest Virginia, where the activists were arrested by campus police for trespassing. Liberty President Jerry Falwell had previously told the group they would not be welcome on campus, according to a report in a local newspaper.
In a letter to members of the Moral Majority Coalition explaining his stance against Equality Ride, Falwell defended Liberty University's treatment of homosexuals. "Liberty does have a handful of students who struggle with same-sex temptations," Falwell wrote, "and many of these kids are involved in campus counseling programs that are designed to help them live in the fullness of Christ."
He added that "because Liberty is a Christian school, we do not allow the use of alcohol or drugs, nor do we allow the practice of sexual sin -- heterosexual or homosexual. It is true that students who openly break our biblically based rules of conduct get in trouble."
Following its trip to Liberty University, the Equality Ride set off for Virginia Beach, Va., and Pat Robertson's Regent University. According to an Equality Ride release, university administrators had previously agreed to "have a day of dialogue," but later rescinded their invitation and threatened to file trespassing charges if members of Equality Ride tried to enter the campus.
On Monday the homosexual group protested outside the campus of Regent University and invited students to meet with them. The group's spokesperson, Haven Herrin, told Cybercast News Service that Equality Ride would return on Tuesday. At that time, Herrin vowed, "we will go on campus, we will not be turned away."
According to Equality Ride, Regent University rescinded its original invitation because of the group's accusation that Regent bans the enrollment of homosexuals. Regent officials say the claim is a "misrepresentation." The school's student handbook prohibits "homosexual conduct or any other conduct, which violates Biblical standards."
A spokesman for Regent University did not return calls requesting comment Monday but in a statement released Friday and published by the Associated Press, Regent associate vice president for academic affairs Dr. Randall Pannell said the school "genuinely regret[s] that this opportunity for discussion and understanding has been lost due to Equality Ride's public misrepresentation of Regent University."
Herrin said that in spite of early setbacks, her group is optimistic about future campus visits. "Many of the schools are welcoming us on to have really wonderful days of full dialogue and discussion," she said, "and we really commend those schools that are willing to talk about the discrimination on their campuses."
She criticized schools like Liberty University and Regent University that are closing their doors to Equality Ride. "These schools need to learn from history and end religion-based oppression," Herrin said. "The Bible has been used for centuries to make an outcast."
"As a Christian university," she added, "you need to be true to what Jesus taught and the meaning of Christianity, which is love and inclusion and acceptance, not fear and discrimination and a lack of compassion for the reality of suffering."
The ride is scheduled to visit Lee University and Union University, both in Tennessee, later this week. The tour will end April 26 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.
