>LGBT rights [...] contradict biblical scripture.

As per the interpretation of Wesleyans, yes...but there are any number of denominations who don't hold to that interpretation. Even so, Christians are generally called to treat LGBT persons with respect and dignity, and at least a few LGBT rights would actually fall under that umbrella, I'd say.

If you're saying Christians are called not to condemn LGBT persons, I would agree with that. Forgiveness is supposed to be prevalent in Christianity. People that are LGBT should still be treated as people, and as far as Christianity goes, everyone is a sinner, and everyone has their own temptations and battles.

OKWU is seemingly fearful that allowing that culture into their student body would affect it in a way they deem negative or counter productive.

As far as LGBT not contradicting scripture, I have a hard time coming to that interpretation. From what I've read it seems clear that the bible is against that.
