Georgia Christian School Approves LGBT Group After Nine Years | Berry College in Georgia has finally approved recognition of LISTEN, an LGBT awareness group on campus. The school’s Board of Trustees denied recognition of the group back in 2003 and it has functioned unofficially since then. Administrators argued that its inherent promotion of sex outside of marriage violated the Christian principles the college is founded upon. Incidentally, Berry is home to Chick-fil-A’s Winshape College Program, a special scholarship offered to students who “seek to follow and honor Jesus Christ in all things” they do.
