A decision by the administration of New York Medical College to refuse to sanction an LGBT students group could cost it a key partnership with the prestigious Pace University Law School.

At the beginning of this academic year, the LGBT student group, previously called the “Student Help” organization, changed its name to the “NYMC Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender People in Medicine.” (story)

The new name was consistent with many other “LGBTPM” groups associated with the American Medical Students Association.

2. The Head Of The AMA Is Defending The College, "gays are like rape or coke"

AMA Head Likens Gays To Coca Cola Or Rape

(White Plains, New York) The president of the American Medical Association has come to the defense of New York Medical College under attack for banning a gay students group from campus.

In an interview with the Westchester Journal News AMA President John Nelson said as a private institution the college has the right to set and enforce its own policies.

Nelson then said that the school was acting no differently than Brigham Young University in banning Coca-Cola from campus or its suspending of four athletes accused of raping a 17-year-old girl.

Nelson noted that the college is affiliated with the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York. Brigham Young University is a Mormon institution. Both faiths believe homosexuality is a sin.

But Nelson said he was speaking for the AMA, not as a Mormon.
