To be honest I'm not even sure what the point of student associations is anyway. Shouldn't students all have access to services without joining associations? If students can form associations, does it matter that much what the association is about? I understand from an organizational standpoint that a Jewish organization wouldn't want to incorporate or support something that's against Judaism, but you can't really stop students from associating, can you?

I've been involved in academic biblical studies for over 30 years. There is NO biblical NOR Talmudic prohibition against LGBTQ.
These misunderstandings (and sometimes this is just straight up intentional bigotry) are almost always formed in conservative and/or fundamentalist religious groups.
