Baylor Receives Massive Six-Figure Grant to Pursue LGBTQ Inclusion
We’ve chronicled the apostasy of Baylor University over the years, dragging this so-called Christian institution into the theological scrapyard, where truth is optional and compromise is currency., where truth is optional and compromise is currency. With every headline, Baylor sheds its last thread of dignity like a drunken aristocrat throwing heirlooms into a pawnshop window for another swig of cultural approval.
From platforming LGBTQ activists to scrubbing the word "sin" from its vocabulary like it’s a profanity, the school has transformed itself from a training ground for gospel ministers into a finishing school for progressive ideologues.
In 2019, we reported how a commencement speaker at Baylor used his graduation prayer to denounce fossil fuels and lament the existence of "too many white, straight men" in positions of power. The prayer—delivered by a Baylor alumnus and progressive pastor—was met with applause from students but outrage from Christians who still take Scripture seriously.
That same year, Baylor launched a sexuality website that softened its stance on homosexuality, pledging to help students "develop their sexuality" and offering support services through the Chaplain’s Office and the Counseling Center. University President Linda Livingstone openly declared that LGBTQ-identifying students would not be subject to discipline and instead be affirmed and resourced. The language about homosexual acts being a “misuse of God’s gifts” was quietly stripped from their conduct code in 2015.
In 2020, Baylor upped the ante by hosting Justin Lee, one of the leading voices in the so-called “gay Christian” movement—signaling the school’s departure from biblical standards and embrace of the Revoice-style ideology that excuses homosexual lust as morally neutral and celebrates “intimacy” between same-sex partners, so long as it technically stops short of sex.
By 2021, the school’s descent had picked up speed. We documented how the university’s Board of Regents pushed a “Caring Community” resolution that opened the door for an official LGBTQ student group on campus—an effort that was eventually fulfilled. Around the same time, a Baylor-affiliated College of Medicine professor, Dr. Carol Baker, said that the solution to vaccine hesitancy was to “get rid of all the Whites in the United States.” Yes, that’s where we are.
From denouncing straight white men in prayer, to platforming gay Christian activists, to now reprogramming churches with the theology of inclusion, Baylor has shown the world exactly what it looks like when an institution once committed to Christ becomes fully catechized by the world.
Why should anyone be surprised by their latest burlesque?
Baylor, never one to pass up a chance to trade its birthright for a pot of ideological stew, has now taken a $643,401 grant—yes, that’s six figures of silver—from the Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation.
