She either beleives this bible crap that gays should be put to death or she doesn't. She likes to point out the old testament calls for death, yet when she's backed into a corner over this statement she grabs for the new testament charactierization of gee-sus as meek and mild and forgiving.

As for the comment you linked, I read it differently. Rather than ask for more resignations, I saw it as saying that resignations won't fix anything. Conversations need to be had ;and instead of losing their livelihood, they could "atone" by having a forum and some involvement with community orgs, particularly the gay student bodies.
