Gays and Greeks,
Hmmm.
1) Personally, I would not have a problem accepting someone gay into my fraternity (Tau Kappa Epsilon).
2) As far as the Bible and immorality, the Bible clearly states that immorality is wrong, sinful, and is listed as an abomination on the level of beastiality. This is both Old and New Testaments.
3) On the other hand, the Bible (for those who use that as their standard) also condemns all sexual relations outside of marriage. I know very few PHC girls who were virgins when they were married. Very few indeed. I know of exactly zero IFC guys who were virgins when they married. None. Zippo. I mean not a single one. So I find it rather amusing that a Greek would ever bring up the idea that gays should not be accepted because they have immoral inclinations or are living an immoral lifestyle. It's like the pot calling the kettle black. *shudders as he recalls the debauchery he has witnessed in his time*
4) As far as Jesus, he told us to love all people but also to reject sin and carnality. However, his strongest comdemnations were against hypocrites.
5) You can't successfully sue a GLO for not accepting gays. Freedom of association is a constitutional right. Even state laws can't override it--as the Boy Scout case once again reaffirmed. However, you can mock them, shun them, and refuse to have anything to do with them---which sometimes is more effective than sueing anyway. (You could also bar them from public money, but few, if any, GLOs receive public funding--so tis a moot point).
