LINK Supreme Court says Yeshiva University must recognize LGBTQ club, for now - The Washington Post
The Supreme Court on Wednesday reversed course and said Yeshiva University in New York must for now comply with a state court’s order that it should recognize a campus gay rights organization.
On a 5-4 vote, the justices said the religious school for now should comply with a New York state trial court ruling that, as a public accommodation, Yeshiva was covered under the New York City Human Rights Law and required to provide the Pride Alliance the same access to facilities as dozens of other student groups. The group said that includes a classroom, bulletin boards and a club fair booth.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Maybe SCROTUS is trying to regain some legitimacy for their past bad rulings. Good luck with that.

No, they are saying it first has to go through the lower courts before they will fully consider it. If that happens those two conservative votes that said "no" will become a "yes".
@snytiger6 Just more excuses to make them try to look legitimate.
@JackPedigo A part of me thinks the two conservatives who voted "no" only did so because it is close to the midterm elections and they didn't want to stir up more ire.
@snytiger6 Just read something on our paper today which gave details on the vote for the coach in Bremerton. I have run out of free articles in the paper so did a photo. I will also post a link for those who can get the article. I will also send a copy to FFRF. It clearly shows SCROTUS today and the words are coming from one of their own, Justice Kagan.
It could come back to SCROTUS after state Supreme Court and then we will truly see how the other 2 act.
