Black Female University
Employee Suspended Over Anti-Homosexual Column
 A University of Toledo employee was suspended last week following publication of a column she
wrote opposing gay “marriage” in the local Toledo
Free Press. Crystal Dixon, associate vice president of human resources
at the University of Toledo, wrote in the paper in response to a column
that compared the efforts to legalize same-sex
“marriage” as equal to the struggle for racial
equality among African Americans.
“Daily, thousands of homosexuals make a life decision to leave
the gay lifestyle evidenced by the growing population of PFOX (Parents
and Friends of Ex Gays) and Exodus International just to name a
few,” she added.
After the column’s appearance, Dixon was promptly punished with a
suspension by UT faculty for what they described as values that "do not
accord” with the University of Toledo.
“The University of Toledo welcomes, supports and places value
upon persons of every variety. Disability, race, age or sexual
orientation are not included in any decision making process nor the
evaluation of worth of any individual at this university. To the extent
that appearances may exist which are contrary to this value statement,
we will continue to do everything in our power to align all of our
actions every day with the value system discussed,” said UT
President Lloyd Jacobs following his “repudiation” of
Dixon’s views in a subsequent column following her suspension.
The Family Research Council (FRC), however, noted that Dixon’s
suspension was itself, ironically, an act of discrimination.
“In one fell swoop, Jacobs was informing the world not only that
the University of Toledo denies its employees a private right of speech
but that an African American employee has no right to assert her
opinion regarding her own civil rights heritage,” expressed the
pro-family group in a statement.
Dixon will reportedly remain on suspension until further notice by the university.
