A federal judge ruled on Friday that a nondiscrimination policy at San Diego State University and California State University at Long Beach does not infringe upon the First Amendment rights of Christian student groups, The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
Every Nation Campus Ministries, a recognized student group eligible for money and privileges, established a new constitution in 2005 that required its members to be Christians and barred people “who believe they are innately homosexual, or advocate the viewpoint that homosexuality is a natural part of God’s created order.”
The group was denied official recognition that year because its new membership requirements violated the institutions’ nondiscrimination policy, and Every Nation Campus Ministries sued. Other groups with similar membership policies were denied recognition at both universities.
