lets put it into something heterosexuals can understand better. What if someone banned you from somewhere because you were straight? Wouldn't that make you feel less of a human being. Just because these people are homosexual, doesn't mean they are terrible people. Banning it will not make homosexuality rid from your mind. if you're gay, then you're gay. I'm bisexual, and you can't just tell me to not like girls. I'm sorry?

Homosexuals are people, they deserve the same rights as any other human being. Maybe these schools need to learn to be tolerant of other peoples differences, if not, then they will just stay completly ignorant and bigoted.

Not to take sides, but would everyone be just as pissed off if the situation was reversed, and it was an anti-homosexuality group that was trying to enter a privately funded school? Would we all be so quick to jump up and down if it was an organization that supported something that you didn't like? Like Krissy said, if the school is privately funded, then they don't have to do anything they don't want to.

I go to a small southern school – which I'm not going to say which, because we get a lot of unwarranted hate down here – & they came here this year & a few years ago. I wasn't here when they came the first time – but what I heard was that we let them come on campus to talk to the students, but the deal was we'll listen to them but then they have to listen to what we have to say. Fair, right? But apparently they did not even remotely want to hear what we had to say, they just wanted to lecture us. My school is a private school, meaning we are privately owned & don't need to let anyone on campus. Why they came here & just lectured us blew my mind. (& to clarify, I'm from NY and not at all anti-homosexuality – so I'm not picking sides, I'm only reporting what I know). I can see why this school did that, my school had them all arrested. They came HERE and harassed US – the christians who go here did not go seek them out & harass THEM.

I go to a small southern christian school (don't judge). I just tried to look at SoulForces website and it was BLOCKED! I can't even read about someone being gay!! How ridiculous. I'm not even sure the scholarship money is worth it…!

I would love for them to come here…

What a bunch of A$$HOLES! This seriously enrages me. I can't even imagine how those kids felt. Anyone who goes to Columbia International University should be forced to leave the country. Disgusting.

They think by banning people's freedom to be who they are (i.e: Gay), they can make homosexuality go away.

An education from there seems like it'll get you far!
