BrandNubian,
As I understand it, part of the purpose of Alpha Phi Alpha is to serve and uplift humanity, share the bonds of brotherhood and provide an example of good moral character. The question then becomes, is homosexuality consistent with good moral character? Some will say yes, some will say no. I try to, although I frequently fail, use the Bible as my 'moral compass' to point me in the right direction. Homosexuality is not consistent with the precepts, as I understand them, outlined in the Bible. Of course there are a lot of people who could feed the homeless, tutor the children and fix the homes of the elderly, etc., but that does not mean they could become, or should become members of any Greek letter organization--unless the members of that organization said so.
