Christian Club Requires Leaders to Be Christians

Billy Hallowell reports on a Christian fellowship group becoming a victim of discrimination, at Tufts University, because the group requires its leaders to be Christians:

Tragically, this kind of insanity no longer even qualifies as "news." It was actually in the mid-eighties that I personally registered with an employment service, as a young student. The first job assignment offered to me was with a Jewish nonprofit organization. I thought this was a simple misunderstanding, and told the agent, "They wouldn't want me; I'm a Christian." And heard, "But they can't refuse to hire you because of that! That would be discrimination!"

There's bona-fide religious discrimination--against a particular group against whom the owner of a secular corporation has some sort of grudge--and there's also a legitimate preference that a religious group be represented to the public by members of that group. These are two different things.

It's like the Irish-American League definitely having to admit Ishmael Reed as a member, or consider him as a leader if he were elected by due process, because he has verifiable Irish ancestry whether it shows or not...but the Irish-American League not having to admit, say, Ban Ki Moon, who has no known Irish ancestors.

But why even link to the story about Tufts University's idiocy? Because Billy Hallowell includes a good suggestion at the end. The way to show up the stupidity of this kind of Christian-phobic bigotry is for heterosexual right-wingers to demand leadership positions in homosexual lobbying groups.
