2005-11-08 10:57 AM Apparently Money Doesn't Talk as Loud as Bigotry...God Hates Fags, Baylor-style From 356gay.com and the Baylor Lariat...
Baylor University, alma mater to ChicagoRev, has told a graduate, who served for five years on the advisory board of the Hankamer School of Business, that he is no longer welcome after learning that he is gay. Tim Smith, a 1983 graduate, was one of 36 members of the school's advisory panel. In an interview with the Baylor Lariat, Smith says that since graduating from the Baptist school he has personally donated more than $65,000 to Baylor and raised and additional $60,000 to establish an academic scholarship. Business School Dean Terry Maness asked Smith to step down after he learned of Smith's sexuality. “We must be sensitive to the position of our affiliated denomination, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, which has, on previous occasions, stated that a homosexual lifestyle is incompatible with most Baptist interpretations of scripture,” Maness said in a statement. Smith calls the decision blatant discrimination. "To openly discriminate against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation and to do so in the name of God is simply shameful," he told the Lariat. "The Pharisees would be proud." Maness did not say if the money Smith had donated to the university would be returned. I'm sure it won't be unless he says something about it, and then I'm sure it WILL be....some self-righteous Baptist millionare will see to it. Poke me with a fork...I'm DONE with the hallowed halls of Ivy. I thank them for providing me 7 years of tuition-free education. I hope they don't sue me to get the money back because I turned out to be in league with Satan. I guess now their chances of landing the George W. Bush Presidential Library have gone up. Now if you'll excuse me, I have people to care for... By the way, if you're a Texan, I beg you to vote no on Proposition 2 today. Read/Post Comments (3) Previous Entry :: Next Entry Back to Top |
