About This Quote
There are many different reasons why people are rejected at Church Camp. It might be because they cried or because they were late to the cabins.

According to a survey taken in 1992 by New Ways Ministry and the Georgetown University Law Center, 75% of participants reported that the reason they were rejected was due to their sexual orientation. This statistic is not surprising, since research has shown that sexuality and religion often go hand in hand.
