The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

A private Christian liberal arts institution, Seattle Pacific University, in the state of Washington, is facing an investigation by the state's Attorney General over an alleged prohibition of hiring members of the LGBT community. In response, on July 27th, the university filed a complaint against Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson. At the heart of the controversy is the university's employee lifestyle guidelines which mandate that employees are not to engage in same-sex sexual activity, extramarital sex, and cohabitating before marriage. The complaint from the university explained that "The U.S. Constitution recognizes and protects the right of Seattle Pacific University to decide matters of faith and doctrine, to hire employees who share its religious beliefs, and to select and retain ministers free from government interference." Some students, have already created plans to file legal action against the university's board of trustees for its "homophobic" and "discriminatory" employee lifestyle expectations. The issue caught international attention when a video of this year's graduation ceremony, where 50 students handed the school's president pride flags instead of shaking his hand, went viral. Tracy Norlen, the spokesperson of the Seattle Pacific University, said that the university will not be changing its established lifestyle for its employees, despite protests.
