A lesbian student -- who recently "married" her partner -- has been expelled from an Oklahoma university one semester short of her sports management degree.
Christian Minard, 22, attended Southwestern Christian University, a school affiliated with the International Pentecostal Holiness Church in Bethany, Oklahoma. As part of her admission requirements, she signed a lifestyle covenant that prohibits "homosexual behavior."
Minard belongs to an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America congregation in Oklahoma City, but her decision to marry her partner, Kadyn Parks, put her at odds with the school's lifestyle covenant.
The two were married in Albuquerque, New Mexico on March 17. On July 9, a letter addressed to Minard from Brad Davis -- the school's vice president of student life -- arrived at her parents' home, informing her that she was expelled from the school.
