The anti-LGBTQ Global Methodist Church recommends Samford University Beeson Divinity School, along with five other Baptist seminaries. "All six schools listed as 'recommended' by the GMC had to apply for that designation . . ."

More on Eastern University decision to permit hiring of LGBTQ faculty. Calvin University, Seattle Pacific, Whitworth University mentioned. Goshen, Eastern Mennonite, and Bluffton left the CCCU when they changed their hiring policies. Kudos.

"Take tuition and fees from LGBTQ+ students while simultaneously rejecting their rights. It may work for a while. But this is a losing strategy. In the long run, intolerance never wins." https://t.co/bhb0YZA59C

Samford University denies application for LGBTQ student group. Samford is doubling down. Very sad. But remember Samford "loves" its LGBTQ students . . . .

And, here's just one of many academic articles linking LGBT identity, especially in unsupported environments, to disparate health and psychological outcomes: https://t.co/ryInDYqthi (3/3)

President @BeckTaylor says @SamfordU loves all people but can't advance ‘other expressions of sexuality,' leaving #LGBT students open to physical & psychological harm.

But it's all cool, because he's willing to let a LGBT community member sing for him! @eltonofficial (1/3)

[SAFE Samford @SAFESamford]

So Dr. Taylor is happy to take his daughter to hear a musician from our LGBTQ community but not to extend equality to LGBTQ students on campus? Got it.

“We’ve decided to limit Samford University's formal ministry partnerships with churches and organizations that support Samford’s traditional view of human sexuality and marriage,” president Beck A. Taylor said. https://t.co/uJPkDIBF7j #LGBTQ #SamfordUniversity

In the latest in news about debates over LGBTQ rights on Christian college campuses, Samford University, an SBC school in Alabama, disinvited LGBTQ-affirming campus ministry groups to its annual ministry fair. From @kathrynmaepost: https://t.co/SbRhqrBRap

[Kathryn Post @kathrynmaepost]

Samford University is cutting ties with LGBTQ-affirming ministries, the president said in a video Friday. Weeks ago, at least 3 LGBTQ-affirming ministries were disinvited from the Christian university’s annual ministry fair: https://t.co/66xm6SDgTD

[RNS @RNS]

Samford University, a Baptist school in Birmingham, Alabama, will no longer partner with ministries that oppose the school’s “traditional view of human sexuality and marriage.”

LGBTQ students will not have the representation in faculty they deserve obviously. 2nd class citizens.

[Jack Jenkins @jackmjenkins]

1. Oh — looks like Samford University, which is Baptist, just straight-up denied Presbyterian (PCUSA) and Episcopalian chaplains access to a ministry fair, because their denominations back same-sex marriage. https://t.co/g9sdttF1D3

.@SamfordU @SAFESamford God is love. Not divisive.

[Good Faith Media @GFMediaOrg]

@BritBlalock: "For decades, Samford has been an ecumenically diverse and welcoming campus, but that long-standing practice is coming to a swift and surprising end for one reason and one reason alone: to exclude LGBTQ people and those who affirm them."
