BYU's HONOR CODE POLICY ON SEXUAL ORIENTATION

At Brigham Young University, the LDS Church-owned school's code of conduct directly addresses sexual orientation:

"Brigham Young University will respond to student behavior rather than to feelings or orientation. Students can be enrolled at the University and remain in good Honor Code standing if they maintain a current ecclesiastical endorsement and conduct their lives in a manner consistent with gospel principles and the Honor Code. Advocacy of a homosexual lifestyle (whether implied or explicit) or any behaviors that indicate homosexual conduct, including those not sexual in nature, are inappropriate and violate the Honor Code."

Is this supposed to be news to anybody?

I don't get it. Are you trying to be funny or something?

With gay advocacy groups being arrested on BYU campus making headlines today, I figured posting BYU's official stance on homosexuality should be published.

So what is the point of this post? Are you fellas all worked into a sweat 'cause the BYU don't like no three dollar bills waltzin' around in hot pants and daisy dukes?

I didn't realize. I thought you'd have juxtaposed the articles about what happened with it. It just seemed a little disembodied, is all.
