I am going to say this...

Take this how you will.

By there worldview, you are doing all those things, and are denying God per Romans 1. I point this out to point out that a school like this is not a good place for you to be.

You are not going to convince them, and it doesn't seem as if they will convince you. I am convinced this is a cross of some to bear, that can be lived out in a celibate lifestyle in holiness. But the fact is, you are not pursuing that either.

Personally, it seems best to leave the school for you and them.

Now, if you do this, you may have to pay for school on your own. I did, and its a lot of work, and nobody does owe you tuition.

But fundamentally, I am a non-cessationist Arminian. I went to a cessationist and calvinist school for undergrad. I was actually respected. Now I go to a school that has no formal stance in my masters program.

Really, that is not a make it/ break it argument. However, the pursuing a lifestyle of homosexuality, (which dating a guy is doing,) is not going to go well for you. There also could be some really nasty surprises to come pending the way there degree program is set up. I can think of some scenarios I have seen play out that are possibilities that most people do not realize can.

Degree revocation can occur. (Yes, it really can) Also, not being allowed to graduate could be done through requiring a doctrinal statement and a statement of your beliefs on the subject.

I am just pointing out that those actually are things I have seen used at schools over certain issues. One of them being homosexuality.

I don't point this out to be mean or anything, but to warn you of what could potentially cause you to work 4 years for naught.
