Homosexuality and the Christian College Campus
There are few issues more complicated and controversial than that of how Christians are to view and treat homosexuality and homosexuals. Soulforce, a homosexual activist group, is doing a national tour to a number of Christian campuses to engage Christians and Christian college administrators, faculty and students in a discussion of the complexity of homosexuality.
A number of Christian colleges have closed their doors to the group, others have welcomed them. Gordon College in Wenham, Massachussetts has decided to welcome Soulforce.
Is it possible to have an intelligent conversation with activists? If you were a parent who had sent your child to a Christian college, would you be in favor of the administration inviting or welcoming a homosexual group? What should be the preferred stance and treatment toward homosexuals?

I currently a Junior at Gordon College studying Economics so I may be able to speak from experience. The Christian community must at some point acknowledge that homosexuals exist in all parts of society, including our own. I personally know some students who although have a sincerely committed faith in Christ, must also come to terms with their sexual orientation, and in the context of an often highly hostile atmosphere the pressure to leave must be unbearable.
The hypocrisy present in the Christian community must also be addressed as many gay or bisexual students may not even practice homosexuality, and yet are the object of discrimination, while many who claim to be Christians actively engage in pre-marital sex.
