There is a misperception that this case is about homosexuality

What some have said:
 
Headline: "Supreme Court takes case of Student Group that Bars Gay Members," Christian Science Monitor, December 8, 2009
 
Headline: "Justices to hear Christian Student Group's Gay-Bias Case," Seattle Times, December 8, 2009
 
"The Supreme Court said Monday it will decide whether a California law school must force a Christian group to admit gays, lesbians and nonbelievers to gain stature as an official campus organization."  From the Associated Press, via Newsmax
 
The real issue:
 
The case is actually about whether a religious group may ensure that its leaders share its religious beliefs. University officials mistakenly believe that CLS requiring its leaders to affirm its basic statement of faith is a form of religious discrimination. Yet statements of faith have been part of the Christian tradition for 2000 years as a means for Christians to identify the core beliefs around which they are meeting. 
 
Hastings made clear that it had a problem with the fact that CLS had a statement of faith with which its leaders must agree.
 
"The group no more excludes gays and lesbians than it excludes anyone else who disagrees that sex outside of marriage is sinful. Many other media outlets took [this] approach, however."  Mollie Hemingway,  Some Exclude Better Than Others, GetReligion Blog.
