Conclusion

Here you will find the conclusion to my research

With the passing of new laws that aide the LGBTQ community, universities have had to accommodate to support them. Many public institutions did their part and made changes to help protect LGBTQ students, but many private, religious institutions have failed to make changes to support these students. Today, there are many differing opinions regarding the pressing issue if religious universities should be allowed to receive Title IX exemptions which allow them to legally discriminate against LGBTQ identified students. The research shows that these religious institutions are trespassing their boundaries because of the oppression they are causing like the stories which are found in Harding University’s HU Queer Press and Jeff Chu’s book Does Jesus Really Love Me? As well, these universities are overstepping their boundaries because their religion does not permit the discrimination of the LGBTQ community, as validated by Dr. Donald Haynes and John Shore. In the end, no matter gender, race, age, or sexual orientation there is hope in a loving God above, and a hope for better days to come. “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us” (Romans 8:18).
