Psst! The LDS church don't like gays
A federal judge ruled that a gay rights Web site at Georgia Tech that says the LDS Church is anti-gay must remove any language that "discriminates against religions that condemn homosexuality."

The Safe Space site for gay and lesbian students included an overview of various religions' acceptance of homosexuality. It described the Mormon Church as "anti-gay" and the Episcopal Church more receptive to gays. Who'da guessed?

A right-wing group, the Alliance Defense Fund, sued Georgia Tech saying the university discriminated against students with conservative religious views through its anti-intolerance policies.

U.S. District Judge J. Owen Forrester says the religious information on the university's site violates the separation of church and state.
