Discriminatory ad on the astrojob posting site

So I was perusing the AAS Job Register late one night in the lab, hoping for some end-of-the-season faculty listings. Came across a small liberal arts college in Chicago (big city, check), looking for a physics professor (check) who's excellent in teaching & scholarship (check). Then there's the line, "Wassamatta College is an evangelical Protestant Christian liberal arts college whose faculty and staff affirm a Statement of Faith and adhere to lifestyle expectations."

That means no dykes, right? Google, google.... Yes, it does. Though pre-marital sex, porn, and adultery are also banned, along with unsupervised dancing -- so at least no one else would be having any fun.

Ah, well, moving on....
