Catholic University Cancels LGBT Awareness Month 'Milk' Screening
Catholic University Cancels LGBT Awareness Month 'Milk' ScreeningEvidently, this has NOTHING AT ALL to do with religion, to quote:
The Catholic University of America nixed a Wednesday screening of the film "Milk," a biopic about the first openly gay official to be elected to public office, Catholic news website Crux reported.
The Washington, D.C. school's College Democrats organized the event as part of LGBT Awareness Month. Students told Crux that the school approved the screening and a panel about the gay rights movement and Democratic politics last month.
"I was extremely disappointed that this was happening. I thought this was an incredibly asinine decision that the school made," College Democrats member Jackson Tovar told Crux.
On Wednesday morning, school officials told students that they were concerned with the size of the rainbow flag on the flyer and had a problem with the description of the event as part of LGBT Awareness Month.

Here's his address from this past evening. Lots of encouraging facts and figures we don't often hear on the main stream media. Don't forget, we elected this guy and he's doing his job, while Congress takes another 5 week paid vacation, and Fox News will never report what's been happening in the last 5.75 years.
