    according to the language above, that would indeed be in violation of the honor code.

        Can they just adjust the dress and grooming standards already? FFS.

        I am glad that all 3 of my professors at BYU-I this year are cool with my beard.

          i think in those situations, the church (and as lebowski pointed out - BYU by extension) assumes sex. you can't be married and living together if you are gay and be in good standing (temple recommend holder) in the church.

            Former gay-Cosmo likes the new honor code.



            Brigham Young University’s honor code has always held students to a high standard and helps set the school apart from all others. In fact, the faith-building environment it creates is the very reason I decided to attend BYU. Now, with the updated honor code, the school will better support inclusion and build appreciation for God-given agency. This will foster a safer environment where all students can feel comfortable connecting with their faith, regardless of their sexual orientation.

            Next year, a closeted gay senior in high school hopefully won’t feel unwelcome or embarrassed as they apply to the school of their dreams. Instead, they will be able to look forward to a bright educational future with a strong sense of belonging. To me, that sounds like a big step in the right direction.

              And the Church rolls back the changes on the Honor Code regarding same sex bullshit.

                Today this letter from Elder Paul V. Johnson, Commissioner of the Church Educational System, regarding the updated Honor Code was sent to students and employees at all CES schools.

                  Arrggghh. Why couldn't they just leave it alone? It likely would have simply gone away in a few weeks.

                  A letter from the commissioner of the Church Educational System of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seeks to clarify BYU’s honor code with regards to “same-sex romantic behavior.”

Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                      There are a bunch of kids deleting shit off of their social media accounts right now. There are also a bunch of assholes probably sending screen shots of said social media posts into the HC office to help their fellow students "come closer to Christ".

                      This is so dumb, looks terrible, and I hope CES gets roasted by the media.

                      Also...there goes the BIG 12. Damn.

                        I think it was gone already. The question now is when do you see the push back against schools scheduling BYU. Also, what's the over/under on a Title IX suit against BYU?

                        The optics of this don't look good for BYU.

                                Crazy that these kids are smart enough to get in to BYU, but too daft to realize that BYU wasn’t gonna let them be romantic with folks of the same gender.
