The Huff Po headline said, "Christians Sue For For \[sic\] Right to be Intolerant." It linked to [this *LA Times*](http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/la-na-christians10apr10,0,6596503.story?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) story that's entitled, " Christians Sue for Right Not to Tolerate Policies." It's about lawsuits by college students that claim public universities are depriving them of their First Amendment rights by not allowing them to speak against homosexuality.

Huff Po is explicit in their angle, whereas the *LA Times* tries to sneak the same angle in there: These Christians want the right to be intolerant. It's a bogus assertion, of course. The Christians want campuses to tolerate their views. The Christians aren't asking the campuses to discriminate against homosexuals. They just want the same rights to meet and speak out against homosexuals, as homosexuals have to meet and speak out against people who oppose homosexuality. The Christian campaign is a campaign for tolerance in all directions.

The homosexuals, though, claim that such "tolerance" toward Christian views would be the same as tolerating racism. That, too, is bogus. The Christian animus is directed toward homosexual *activity*, not homosexuality itself, though the two obviously overlap.

Very few institutional policies have tried to prevent persons from speaking against an activity. People, for instance, are routinely allowed to speak against the act of abortion, and that's a constitutionally-protected action. There have been a few instances of administrators trying to shut down anti-abortion speech, but they're isolated and nothing nearing the blanketing efforts at college campuses to protect homosexual activity.
