C. Diversity
Of Opinion Should Be Encouraged
John M. Kelly Library
Proponents of
traditional marriage and of abstinence outside of marriage are
consistently
attacked, belittled and ostracized on campus. They are called “bigots,”
“homophobes” and even “racists.” They are condemned merely for
espousing their
belief (often religiously held belief) that the sexual act should occur
only
within marriage between a man and a woman. President Birgeneau
describes such
people as having “inflexible opinions” and “dissenting views.” Such
words make
these people wonder whether they have to sit at the back of the bus or
perhaps
even whether they’re allowed on the bus at all.
