I'm sure you've heard about the planned bake sale to support homeless LGBT youth that was cancelled at the last minute.

Fundraiser bake sales for the homeless are allowed at Andrews University – as long as the homeless aren’t LGBT kids.
A planned bake sale had to be abruptly cancelled last week, after student members of the unofficial LGBT group, AULL4One, were told they couldn’t raise money on campus for a Chicago-based homeless organization, Project Fierce , because the western Michigan university felt the charity didn’t align with its mission.
“Andrews University recognizes the special challenges facing LGBT youth and believes that efforts to help them are worthy”, the university said in a statement released on March 10. “[But only those] whose mission and practices do not conflict with those of the University”, referring to the LGBT grassroots organization.
Their “mission” suggests they would help LGBT homeless organizations, as long as they don’t “advocate behaviors contrary to Adventist beliefs”. (Read: actual acceptance of the youth being LGBT.)
