Officials at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill have ruled a university Christian group was within their rights when they kicked out a gay member for a difference of beliefs.
In August, Psalm 100, an a cappella group on campus, voted to expel Will Thomason, a senior in the group, who is gay. The group said Thomason was expelled not for his sexual orientation, but because he disagreed with Biblical views on sexual relations being confined to heterosexual marriage. UNC’s nondiscrimination policy states that groups may limit membership to those who share the beliefs of that group but cannot exclude members based on personal characteristics, including sexual orientation.
Friday, university officials ruled the student group did not violate the nondiscrimination policy.
