Yale Law School defends new pro-LGBTQ fellowship policy

(Worthy News) – Yale Law School is defending a new policy that ends funding for fellowships with organizations that refuse to hire LGBTQ students, saying it complies with federal non-discrimination laws.

But Alliance Defending Freedom, a conservative advocacy nonprofit group, says the elite law school’s policy violates the religious freedom of organizations that strive to uphold traditional Christian values.

Yale announced the policy in March, and last week issued a statement saying it is in compliance with federal policies, such as the Justice Department’s Equal Employment Opportunity statement on April 4 that included protections for “gender identity and sexual orientation.” [ Source: Washington Times (Read More…) ]
