Human rights do not protect the right to attack others. The homosexual students aren't stating that the Christian students can't practice their religion, it's the other way around. TWU is attempting to tell students not only what they are allowed to do at the school, but also at home.
If the intolerant students want to be intolerant in their homes or a private club, that's their business. However, the Law Society works for the public and should not promote or facilitate that intolerance.

Homosexuals aren't barred from attending TWU though. They claim to have accepted homosexual students in the past.
They just make students agree to a covenant which states that while they are there, they will abide by the Protestant Evangelical principles they were founded on, which includes not engaging in sex acts outside of a married man/woman union. Homosexuals are still free to attend the school though, as are single heterosexuals. They are just supposed to agree to practice abstinence while they are there. Agreeing to the covenant to go to school there does not mean that the person is intolerant of others. It just means that they agreed to live a particular lifestyle for themselves while they were there. It's also no one's business what they believe in their minds as long as they can separate it and conduct themselves in a professional manner out in the real world.
