"My Boyfriend Got Kicked Out of a Baptist College!"

I'm sure that refrain has been heard from a female or two, but because I so enjoy hate mail from the left, I bring you this story about the guy who made the above complaint:

The news that his boyfriend, Jason Johnson, was expelled from University of the Cumberlands was still sinking in when Zac Dreyer sat at a computer to spread the news.

"He is being asked to leave the university because he is gay," Dreyer wrote Thursday on the Web site MySpace.com, the same site school officials used to confront Johnson. "Help get the story out there so that all the gays and lesbians at the university will no longer have to live in secrecy, in fear of having their dreams crushed in front of them."

Within a few hours, friends and students at the small Baptist college in Williamsburg were commenting in blogs about Johnson's expulsion. The buzz grew over the weekend, and by yesterday the issue drew reaction from legislators in Frankfort and on gay advocacy organizations' Web sites nationwide.

Johnson, a sophomore majoring in theater arts (imagine my surprise - HC), was expelled from the university Thursday because he declared online that he is gay. In a statement released last week, the university's president, Jim Taylor said students are held to a "higher standard" and that "students know the rules before they come to this institution."

Because the school elected not to comment, the rest of the article is the expected one-sided slam against the school and school leadership who would dare to impose their morality on their students. As is often the case in these incidents, Biblical teachings are twisted by the aggrieved party to justify their behavior:

"They're being hypocritical, by Christian standards," Kuder said. "If we love each other, accept each other for who we are, why are they kicking him out? I almost feel like they're trying to mold us, me, into a person that I wouldn't want to be.

You mean like...straight? And then there's this:

Johnson, who is considering legal action against the university, said students shouldn't question their faith, but they should question their personal beliefs.

Boy, I'd sure hate to see those kids let their faith get in the way of their personal beliefs.

Look, folks, you'd have to be completely naive to believe that a Baptist college is going to be accepting of a homosexual relationship. They'll be serving pork chops in Mecca before that happens. And putting a profile on MySpace.com is sort of asking to be discovered.

The article also stated that the parents helped find this college for their son. It almost makes me wonder if maybe they were secretly hoping for a "cure", if you know what I mean.

Time for plan B.
