      I feel the same way about the PAC and BYU.

        This, plus UteZone reported that CU's BOR pushed for early announcement to ensure that Texas did not nudge them out with Baylor.

          If they dont want to invite the Y because of prop 8 it would be bigotry (they would be discriminating on the basis of religion).

            I'd like to think if I was a BYU fan I'd take the consequences of the Prop 8 stance like a man and not play the bigotry card. There are plenty of other good reasons for the PAC to take CU and the U over the Y.

              If you was fasting (or on a hunger strike) you would only have to suffer from dry heaves.

                There are more than a few of the ALUF's tendencies I don't get. I know the feeling is very mutual.

                      No, they would be discriminating for a political reason. That's the price the Church pays for getting involved in a political issue, there are political consequences and you can't hide behind religion even if that is what pushed the Church to get involved.

                          Sure, you'd like to think that. But the reality is you don't have to worry about it. You'll understand if we don't just take you at your lecture word.

                            Yeah, no joke.

                            I'd like to think that if I were a gay guy, I'd take the consequence of having sex with a guy (my stance...ha!) and not play the bigotry card.

                                If you're going to take a stand you need to own it. I'm on board with the Church's involvement with Prop 8, BTW.
