Is this another chink in the wall of GLOs selecting who they desire as members?

GLOs are a social group who are selective about who we wish to invite to become members.

So once again others want to rule how we choose members. Don't we have the right to choose who we want?
Not everyone fits into each group. We are not all alike or feel the same, but it should be our choice.
Or could this have been a set up?

Student organizations generally have to adhere to a student code of conduct. A student code of conduct is enforceable so long as it doesn't violate the students' rights. Maryland law forbids discrimination based on sexual orientation, so no, I don't see how there's a problem with enforcing that Code of Conduct.

Yes, we have the right to select who wish to join. And yes, fit is a large part of it. But rejecting somebody based on solely or even primarily on basis of sexual orientation is something else. It is the same kind of logic that allowed Greek organizations for decades to forbid non-white or non-christian members from membership.
