Not long ago, students at the University of Nebraska, Kearney were polled regarding their preference for a new fast food dining option for their student union. The majority’s overwhelming choice was Chick-fil-A. But a vocal group of students objected. It’s the same old rap on Chick-fil-A. Their CEO supports traditional marriage and the Queer Straight Alliance and others at this school said allowing the chain on campus would be offensive to homosexuals — would somehow intrude on their safe space.

As is increasingly the case when there’s a choice between the majority will and the tyranny of LGBT sexual freedom, the opposition to the building of the Chick-fil-A won out. Student body president Evan Calhoun emailed the student body informing them of the decision, saying Chick-fil-A would not be allowed on the campus because the chain’s “corporate values are not aligned with our values as a student body.”

So the student government re-wrote its poll of the student body, this time leaving out Chick-fil-A as a choice. But some students did not quietly bow to the decrees of the sexual freedom tyranny. Aaron Ohri responded to the student body president’s letter with his own letter to the university calling the student government’s decision “a slap in the face to many of us who believe that Chick-fil-A is not wrong in what they believe.” He continued, “please do not ever again send me an email speaking for the ‘whole student body’ when you don’t have a clue what most of us actually think.”

Another student leader, Trevor Wiegert, the campus chancellor’s ambassador, wrote to the student senate, “I think it is ridiculous and appalling that this is a situation we are faced with as a campus and student body, due to the preconceived notions of a very small minority.”

Fox News’ Todd Starnes picked up this story and wrote of the national trend in which “Those who do not affirm the LGBT agenda are systematically being silenced. Unless you ascribe to their point of view — you are not welcome to participate in the public marketplace of ideas — or commerce.”

We await the University’s final decision.

One would hope many Americans would stand against this tyranny. Some are. But there’s a cost and when people count that cost some are just not willing or able to pay it.

A friend of mine just told me through tears she and her husband have made the decision to sell their beautiful wedding venue and get out of the wedding business. Although they refer gay couples elsewhere, there is a web of support for homosexual marriage in the wedding industry that necessitates making little compromises or waging big fights to avoid those compromises. They said they just don’t have it in them.

Last year the Supreme Court brought in a sexual freedom regime. I hope the University of Nebraska decides to stand up to it.
