Yeshiva University Agrees To Recognize LGBTQ Club Amid Legal Battle Over Religious Freedom
Daily CallerAPR 2023
Regardless of what the court said, YU has a long history of promoting scientific and academic progress while adhering to its Orthodox faith. Using the strong arm of government to force institutions into compliance won't bring anyone together. Rather, the division between secular and religious beliefs will build, creating greater resentment as religious liberty comes under attack.
This decision should be celebrated by religious and secular Americans. Beyond Yeshiva's clear violation of NY law, its attempt to ban LGBTQ+ clubs violates the true meaning of religion – which should be a shield to protect everyone, not a weapon to hurt those who are different.
