Default Shorter University requiring staffers to reject homosexuality

http://www.ajc.com/news/shorter-univ...s-1212689.html


Quote:
Shorter University is requiring its more than 200 employees to sign a “Personal Lifestyle Statement” rejecting homosexuality.


Don Dowless, president of the Christian university in Rome, said anyone not signing the statement, which also requires staffers to reject premarital sex and adultery, faces termination.

“I think that anybody who adheres to a lifestyle that is outside of what the biblical mandate is and of what the board has passed, including the president, would not be allowed to continue here,” Dowless told Channel 2 Action News.

One person described as a longtime employee told GA Voice, a publication covering issues affecting the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community, that the new policy has some staffers fearful that a disgruntled co-worker could accuse another as being gay out of spite...

Incest is in the bible...so if the staffers don't sleep with their brothers/sisters/fathers/mothers etc they will be terminated?

Segregation at its finest. Yes you heard me, segregation. We've entered the age where now like the racial discrimination of the past, there are now schools segregating gay men and women. Woot! Now need slavery and then its a complete circle of what racial prejudice went through...
