South Carolina college bans homosexuality after athletes come out as gay

A rural South Carolina college is attempting to ban homosexuality among its students after two of the school’s volleyball players came out as gay.

OutSports.com reported that Erskine College issued a policy statement that the college is officially opposed to same-sex relationships because it isn’t part of “God’s intended design for humanity.”

Last year, two players on the Erskine volleyball team, Drew Davis and Juan Verona, went public with the fact that they are gay men. The team went on to play against the top teams in the nation at the NCAA tournament.

Now, Erskine officials are attempting to make certain that any other LGBT students at the college know that the school does not welcome them.

The school’s “Statement on Human Sexuality,” issued late last week, said “We believe the Bible teaches that all sexual activity outside the covenant of marriage is sinful and
therefore ultimately destructive to the parties involved,” and continued:


The college’s website said that it intends to “add the statement to its official manuals and determine how it will be integrated into campus culture and procedures.”

Varona told OutSports, “The release of this statement makes me disappointed because I have never received anything but kind treatment from everyone at this school, and my sexual orientation is no secret. So it took me by surprise.”

He went on to say, “(T)he school took several steps back instead of progressing towards a future where everyone can be treated as an equal” and that “it just made me sad and worried for other gay people who might be struggling with confidence to come out.”

Obama needs to sign a Presidential Order that makes it illegal for any federal funds to be given to any such bigoted/xenophobic/racist groups. Maybe he already has.
If they still don't "get it", they lose their tax-exempt status.

I agree oskar. No funds for any university or college that promotes bigotry of any kind.

Do they really think banning it will end it? Will these people suddenly think "I need to be hetero"? Sheesh

That sounds like bigotry against bigots Rose

Damn straight!

But, but, but ....

If you are bigoted against bigots then that means you are a bigot, which means you are bigoted against yourself, so you are both a bigoter and a bigotee, and if the federal Government is bigoted against bigots then that means they can't fund themselves, because they are bigots and ....

... ah, the foibles of circular logic.

Nah! Its not circular logic, its a circular position.

That oughta go over well with the non-gay students, too.

Now that gays can marry that argument goes out the window.
