Yeshiva University cannot bar a LGBT student club after the U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday refused to block a judge's ruling ordering the Jewish school in New York City to officially recognize the group.

The justices, in a 5-4 decision, declined to put on hold a state court ruling that a city anti-discrimination law required Yeshiva University to recognize Y.U. Pride Alliance as a student club while the school pursues an appeal in a lower court.

"At the end of the day, Yeshiva University students will have a club for peer support this year, and the sky is not going to fall down," Rosenfeld added. New York state judge Lynn Kotler in June determined that the school's primary purpose is education, not religious worship, and it is subject to anti-discrimination law. Kotler also rejected the university's argument that forcing it to recognize the club would violate its religious freedom protected under the U.S. Constitution's First Amendment.

"As a deeply religious Jewish university, Yeshiva cannot comply with that order because doing so would violate its sincere religious beliefs about how to form its undergraduate students in Torah values," the school told the Supreme Court.

Why would a conservative Supreme Court force a Catholic college to have an LGBT club? It's not even a matter of sex. It is a club for people who claim to have a less frequent type of sexual activity. Would it be mandatory to have a club for heterosexuals?

Awesome Read

This is a false headline.

This is Demonic Wold !

I don't agree with the Yeshiva's school personal stance but this is ridiculous. It's a private religious school, they shouldn't be able to force this on them. These activists need to get a life and leave people alone.

Change of heart!! The damage is already done Supreme Court..
