Ethics: Should A Christian Students’ Club Exclude Gays?

The Christian Legal Society of Hastings Law School has been barred from receiving official status and school benefits because they have a policy prohibiting unrepentant gays from serving in leadership positions. This violates the non-discrimination policy of the college. Oral arguments were just heard in this case today at the Supreme Court, so I thought we could talk about who is right in this case and what the implications might be.
