People Without A Clue

Some people amaze me.

One such gentleman is Tim Smith, who graduated from Baylor University in 1983. Baylor, a Baptist University, has a long record detailing it’s opinion of gays. So here we have Tim Smith, who has “personally donated more than $65,000 to Baylor and raised and additional $60,000 to establish an academic scholarship” for Baylor. And now, he’s upset because the school dropped him from and advisory board after learning that he is homosexual.

Mr. Smith (and all of us) would have been much better off had he taken that $125,000 and given it to an organization to further gay legal rights if he cares so much for those rights.

But now he feels that his rights have been violated. All I can say to Mr. Smith is, you made this bed. Deal with it.

(Waco, Texas) Baylor University has told a graduate, who served for five years on the advisory board for its business school, that his no longer welcome after learning that he is gay.

Tim Smith, a 1983 graduate, was one of 36 members of the Hankamer School of Business advisory panel.

In an interview with the Baylor Lariat, Smith says that since graduating from the Baptist school he has personally donated more than $65,000 to Baylor and raised and additional $60,000 to establish an academic scholarship.

Business School Dean Terry Maness asked Smith to step down after he learned of Smith’s sexuality.

“We must be sensitive to the position of our affiliated denomination, the Baptist General Convention of Texas, which has, on previous occasions, stated that a homosexual lifestyle is incompatible with most Baptist interpretations of scripture,” Maness said in a statement.

Smith calls the decision blatant discrimination.

“To openly discriminate against individuals on the basis of sexual orientation and to do so in the name of God is simply shameful,” he told the Lariat. “The Pharisees would be proud.” (source)
