This attitude is fascinating to me.

Men and women died for our rights to do exactly what these graduates did yesterday and yet we see this onslaught of anger, offense and judgment from those who oppose such actions.

No, actually I don't. Care to expound?

Remember, this same university invited Barack Obama to speak at commencement exercises less than 10 years ago.

Yeah - I mean, I wouldn't do what they did. Nor do I even agree with it.

But I 100% support them for doing so.

Yes, exactly.

Its like the pro-life marches. I absolutely do not agree with their stance, beliefs or aims by I absolutely support their right to do so.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Again, Notre Dame is a CATHOLIC university. The communication/expression of Catholic beliefs should therefore have been expected by the students who CHOSE to attend Notre Dame. Don't agree with Catholic beliefs? Don't choose to go to Notre Dame.

How is that hard for you to understand?

I don't know what's funnier - Tomi L (because she always takes L's) lecturing them on how to keep a job or a bunch of people who couldn't even correctly spell Notre Dame belittling these students for exercising the very rights they claim to support and defend (of course, when they want to use them).

There are other higher-ranked universities. Don't agree with Catholic beliefs? Don't go to Notre Dame if you're not willing to tolerate/accept them in exchange for receiving an education there.

The Catholic Church is pro-life (not pro-choice or pro-abortion) and forbids same-sex marriage. What about the Catholic Church holding those beliefs do you not understand?

How hard is it for you to understand that students choose a university based on the best:

1. Athletic scholarship
2. Academic scholarship
3. Best program for their career field
4. Campus/campus life experience
5. Any combination of the above

A lot of people choose to go to a school that's located in a state that has weather they don't like, that's far away from family, that's private or public, primarily liberal/conservative, that's a Catholic/Baptist/Presbyterian, etc., because it's the best or only option for them.

ND is one of the best universities and looks good on any resume. It's not rocket science.

I swear, you ask the most obtuse questions, ever.

It's no secret that Notre Dame is a CATHOLIC university. If a student cannot tolerate/accept Catholic beliefs, they should not go there. Go to a secular private university or a state school, instead.

Honestly, going to a school that's a poor fit is like someone going to Juilliard and expecting to get a degree in electrical engineering.
