    I have heard people ask why a Catholic University like ND is not receiving the same scrutiny. While the Catholics may have the same belief, they don't promote it through their Universities. Someone said they have gay married students and professors at ND. I don't know if that is true or not.
    ND, Georgetown etc. don't discriminate against or expel gay students. It's been that way for a decades.

        Here is the thing: I understand the issue. I realize the possibility. I see what is happening. I have my own issues with the policies. I do not need that blow hard to show up here and bleat the same crap over and over again. He may be right. Time will tell. I am just tired of it.
        I know this. This all started because I linked an article as soon as the North Carolina story broke, as a courtesy. You probably learned about it from that. Next thing I know someone is posting a three year old article about a dispute that was resolved between the U of U and the Utah Ute tribe.

          LOL, decades LOL. Google ND and LGBT and you will see the LGBT community hasn't felt all is well and good for decades.

          Even when you have a point, you go and F it up

            For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

            Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

              Don't you have some experience co-opting Native American names?
              Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                  For which we're all grateful. Expressions of gratitude take many forms, of which this thread is a testament.

But we live in a nation founded on the rule of law. It's what differentiates us from Russia.

                        I love (and revere) SU, but this is Funk-level bad, awful trolling. You are getting in an argument about the University of Utah's mascot FIVE DAYS AFTER WE BEAT BYU FOR THE SIXTH STRAIGHT TIME! Stick to the script: "scoreboard."

                            This is about something bigger than sport.
