Gay life in Chicago this week, back in ...
1978
On the front page of this week's Gay Life:
"The General Faculty Committee of Northwestern University, representing the entire faculty at both the Evanston and Chicago campuses, has passed a resolution condemning Garret Evangelical Theological Seminary's May 1978 dismissal of 2 openly gay students. Terry Colbert and James Mason were barred from continuing their studies at Garret last spring when the seminary's faculty voted 15 to 10 not to allow them to return in the fall.
"The 2 men had enrolled in the Master of Divinity program at Garret. The reason given for their dismissal was that the Methodist Church prohibits the ordination of homosexuals as ministers."
