Sure - but compared to who? The Catholic church, and the jesuits included, haven't done all that much for meaningful inclusivity.<br /><br />That said, I recognize this is a sports blog and maybe not the most obvious place for this discussion. Atleagle mentioned it, so I figured to chime in, too.Walterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14797187025091891592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-22573353325011536822013-11-21T11:35:01.967-05:002013-11-21T11:35:01.967-05:00Walter, BC is a fairly liberal school because it i...Walter, BC is a fairly liberal school because it is run by the Jesuits after all.

David Quigley would guarantee with his life and career an academic environment that treats the gay football player with the utmost of respect. And Jack Dunn would ensure the finest public relations possible for the inevitable media campaign highlighting the presence of an out Gay player. Or a bisexual player. Or a Transgender player. Or one who simply identifies as Queer. It doesn't matter, because we're all the same Children of God.ObserverCollegehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07184186850633294161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9512562.post-56544398218390987442013-11-21T01:45:25.826-05:002013-11-21T01:45:25.826-05:00Walter, I'm going to have to disagree to some ...Walter, I'm going to have to disagree to some extent.
