Should Christian groups be able to exclude gays?

The U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments Monday in a case involving a Christian group that sued a public law school in California because the school did not recognize and subsidize it, citing the group's policy to deny membership to gays.

The court's questioning of attorneys on both sides suggest that it is sharply divided over the case, which could clarify whether religion-based groups seeking public funding are able to discriminate against those who do not share their beliefs.
