SCOTUS ruling makes Catholic college LGBT group hopeful for future

The Catholic University of America (CUA), most notably, has wrestled with its support of the LGBT community for decades. The university has recognized an LGBT group dating as far back as the 1980s but later disbanded the organization, according to student Stephen Morris.

Morris serves as the co-director of CUAllies, an unofficial organization supporting the campus’s LGBT community. CUAllies has been making waves since its inception in 2009 when the university denied the group’s application to be an official student club. Catholic’s official spokesman Victor Nakas told the Washington Post that officially recognizing the group would be supporting advocacy work against the teachings of the Catholic Church.

The Catholic Church remains officially opposed to same-sex marriage. In a statement immediately following the SCOTUS decision, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, who is president of the U.S. Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB), called the decision “a tragic error that harms the common good and most vulnerable among us, especially children.” The USCCB is headquartered in Washington, D.C., just steps away from CUA’s campus.
