I don't really think that whether any gay person wants to join is relevant. The school is not responding to a group or even an individual student who wants to join. Rather, they are responding to the very idea that a university, a place which hopefully is striving for inclusion and integration within its student body, should be supporting and organization which excludes certain students.
I am not saying that all groups which are exclusionary are inherently bad or that people don't have a right to choose whom they associate with, but there is an issue as to how much they should be supported by a school, particularly a state school. Even recognition is an endorsement, at least on some level, by the school of this organization and by extention their policy of discrimination.
