Are you saying that this student has a right to attend a private college?
Either you're being intentionally obtuse or didn't read my comment. I'll quote myself.
Supporting someone isn't to infringe on anyone's rights. Obviously "opposing" SSM also infringes on no one's rights - it's an opinion. But a "whites only" school would infringe on someone's rights, and the question is whether a school with an all white policy should get a tax subsidy/tax exemption. Should a school that fires or has a policy not to hire gay people or those in a SSM get a tax subsidy? We went to a concert on Friday and it turned out it was to celebrate "Coming out" day, and the headliner got kicked out of college for being gay. Not for gay sex, or pre-marital sex or any act but that he was gay. Should that college enjoy tax subsidies?
Note the bolded and embiggened.
Note what I did NOT argue, which is that the college had no right to admit or expel who it wanted. I did NOT argue that a school had no right to be whites only. Beto didn't argue that a religious institution had no right to hold beliefs either, or to act on them, only that they had no right to violate the civil and human rights of others AND get a tax subsidy from the federal government.
