That's the only issue to address as far as I'm concerned. They can kick out whomever they choose but screaming homophobia makes it about more than picky fraternity men.

While this is an example of "victim" precipitation, this man's stupidity does not override the actions of the fraternity men.

And I hate it when people do this but I have to say that "common sense" is why some Black people used to not, and many still don't, attend some Southern white fraternity parties; and why some women don't go to collegiate fraternity parties at all. That was one of the big tips I was taught as a high school senior and college first year. Perceptions of common sense aside, let us not forget that these are college educated people we're talking about (some of whom are considered the upper echelon of some campuses and society once they graduate). No matter how ignorant GLOers sometimes behave, these are not thugs in an episode of Gang Wars.
