The Deacon Bench had a very good article on the student gay organization at Catholic University of America. There has been over the years a slow but slight shift to Orthodoxy there. See Catholic University's gay group
The University does not sanction this group. Make no mistake it is no "Courage" affiliate. However this part struck me:
But the group has a self-imposed list of topics that are off-limits: pre-marital sex, gay sex, birth control, gay marriage and behavior not permitted by the Catholic church. Despite the university's refusal to sanction the group, the students say they want to respect the campus's conservative nature and rules. Instead, they focus on helping gay students who are trying to navigate campus and educating the rest of the student body about gay issues.
I expect that the fact they are are a not of club of raving Andrew Sullivan's will actually be productive to them and in many ways help them as they advocate!!
