Forced to Quit Seminary because of his Homosexuality
Can you believe that as recent as 10 years ago, college administrators denied financial aid and support for a gay student at Baylor in Waco, Texas?. Matt Bass revealed that he was effectively forced to drop out of his lifetime passion of becoming a minister when school admins questioned his sexual orientation.
These days that would be an easy lawsuit to win as there are many legal protections which protect employees and students.. A potential employer can not even legally ask you if you are married or are a Christian. Asking about your sexuality is even more off limits during job interviews.
Supporters of a former Baylor University seminary student
who lost his scholarship because he is gay rallied Saturday to
protest the school's decision.
Matt Bass and other gay students and alumni say they don't expect
the world's largest Baptist university to shun the church tenet that
homosexuality is a sin, but they want an anti-discrimination policy
for gay students.
"I believe I am gay and that God made me that way,"( Some of us are born gay)
Bass told about
200 people at the gay-rights rally. "I believe this is a civil
rights movement. We're not looking for any special class or
treatment but equal protection under the law."
Bass, 25, said he had no choice but to quit George W. Truett
Theological Seminary in December after administrators confronted him
about his sexuality and revoked his financial aid.
