Detractors have described the event as “perversion at its highest level” and called on the organizers to “hang themselves,” but the Catholic university is standing by the event, telling a local NBC affiliate that “it’s about equality” and they approve it.

2. The have some great staff there

This is a beautiful campus and they have some awesome staff and professors. I used to play in their now defunct symphony and was for a time a bit conflicted because of the Catholic stance on LGBT, but as I came to know people there my concerns fell by the wayside.
