First, it is misleading (at best) to suggest that this case is all about the ability of 'gay students' to serve as leaders and voting members of CLS. Hastings originally said that CLS could not consider religious belief or same-sex sexual conduct in choosing officers and members.

In other words, it is simply wrong to say that this case is all about 'gay students.'"
