Supreme Court ignores Christian student arguing for freedom to anti-gay expression

''We're disappointed because Christian students and other students who do not approve of homosexual behavior (are not) second-class citizens simply because of their viewpoint.''

Joel Oster, an attorney for the conservative Christian group Alliance Defense Fund which petitioned the Supreme Court to hear the case of Timothy Morrison, a student who opposed a Gay-Straight Alliance in his school on the grounds that it prevented him from expressing his anti-gay religious views. During a series of lower court hearings, it was determined that Morrison was not harmed in any substantial way and could not pursue damages against the school system. (Lexington-Herald Leader)
