Eastern Michigan University is being sued by a conservative legal group for allegedly dismissing a graduate student because of her views on homosexuality. According to a lawsuit filed in U.S. district court, EMU dismissed Julia Ward from the counseling graduate program after Ward referred a gay client to another counselor because she believes homosexuality is "immoral sexual conduct, and cannot affirm or validate that behavior or otherwise use her counseling skills and abilities to facilitate homosexual behavior, without violating her sincere religious beliefs," the lawsuit said.
