Georgetown accused of giving pro-family group’s donations to LGBT organization

(LifeSiteNews) — America’s oldest Jesuit and Catholic university has been accused of siphoning money donated to a Catholic student group to LGBT and LGBT-partnered organizations.

Love Saxa, a campus organization that defends traditional marriage, retained the legal services of Alliance Defending Freedom after discovering that Georgetown had deposited checks from their donors into bank accounts for the  “LGBTQ Resource Center Reserve” and the “Saxatones,” a group with ties to the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League.

The pro-life, pro-family Love Saxa student group is requesting its donors get in touch so that they can ensure Georgetown respects their intentions.

The Alliance Defending Freedom has written a letter to Georgetown University demanding that the institution investigate the matter, deliver the intended donations to Love Saxa and hold accountable those responsible for the misappropriation.

In its letter, the legal team detailed the appropriated gifts:

“On November 1, 2017, an individual sent Love Saxa a check for $50.00. Miss Irvine (Love Saxa president Amelia Irvine) promptly deposited that check with the Center for Student Engagement, but the funds were never placed in Love Saxa’s account. Instead, on December 8, 2017, this donor received a receipt from Georgetown University, showing that his $50.00 donation was allocated to the “LGBTQ Resource Center Reserve.

“On December 11, 2017, another donor contributed $100.00 to Love Saxa through Georgetown’ Phonathon. But his receipt from Georgetown showed that his donation had been allocated to the Saxatones. Curiously, this group has partnered with the Sexual Minority Youth Assistance League.

“In December 2017, Miss Irvine also deposited a $250 check from another donor with the Center for Student Engagement. Once again, those funds have not appeared in Love Saxa’s account.

“During Georgetown’s recent Phonathon, one student involved in that effort told Miss Irvine that Love Saxa was “making bank” through this university-wide fundraiser. Apparently, Love Saxa’s bold defense of values consistent with the Catholic faith excited many donors. Yet to date, our client has not received any funds from that event whatsoever.”  more here
