Now I agree with this woman, but not on the grounds that she's basing her argument on. As long as said speech doesn't become harassing, it should be protected on Freedom of Speech grounds. However, to say that Georgia Tech is infringing upon their rights as Christians is just retarded.

From reading the article it didn't seem that these people were claiming certain rights just because they're Christians, but moreso that they're forced to act a certain way that's against their beliefs, in order to promote or protect a completely opposite belief.

I guess gay people are terribly sensitive, as I distinctly remember these same things happening at Tech when I was there. When I was a RA man you got chastized if you used the word gay in a sentence like "omg that's gay". It's really stupid. People who take offense to something like that can find a way to take offense from anything.
