The Appeal Court of British Columbia rejected the LGBT agenda and ruled in favor of a Christian university’s right to have its law school accredited. Trinity Western University had been denied accreditation for its law school because it has a policy that says sexual relations outside of marriage between a man and a woman violate the school’s religious teaching and are therefore prohibited. The court sided with Trinity.

In a unanimous decision, a panel of five judges said the negative impact on Trinity Western’s religious freedoms would be severe and far outweigh the minimal effect accreditation would have on LGBT rights. The ruling upholds a previous decision made by a B.C. Supreme Court judge who ruled that the Law Society of British Columbia was wrong to deny accreditation to future alumni of the Christian university's proposed law school.  The court dismissed an appeal from the law society, which had argued the school’s covenant and code of conduct discriminated against members of the LGBT community.
