This is interesting: Responding to member pressure, the American Geophysical Union and the Geological Society of America have cancelled publication on their Web sites of a job advertisement from Brigham Young University. The reason is that BYU has an honor code which prohibits same-sex relationships.
Two well-known scientific groups have dropped job postings from their websites from Brigham Young University because of the school’s LGBTQ policies, igniting a debate on whether research organizations should take a stance on social issues.
The Washington-based American Geophysical Union and the Colorado-based Geological Society of America took down the ads amid mounting pressure from members, the Salt Lake Tribune reported Monday.
I admit it: Since my first degree is in Geological Engineering, I felt a thrill of pride that geologists stood-up for science.
The simple, settled, incontestable fact is that the many components of sexuality are hard-coded before birth, and PHOOEY! on that ridiculous old book and its carrying-on about sin-sin-sin. If BYU refuses to acknowledge the settled fact, then their job advertisement has no more dignity than a job advertisement for Hogwarts and should be treated with the same disdain.
