Student Chaplain resigns days after coming out!

The elected Student Chaplain at Point Loma Nazarene University resigned his position April 1, just 12 days after he told a church forum he is gay. Now that forum has lost its place to meet, reports SD LGBT Weekly.


Todd Clayton, 21, who was elected by the students for two years in a row, acknowledged he was gay at a forum at the First Church of the Nazarene that is adjacent to the college.

“He’s tired,” said a female friend of Clayton’s on Sunday. She said he did not resign because of pressure from the conservative administration at the university. Clayton, a senior who will be graduating next month, could not be reached for comment.
