Trinity Western University
It is a Christian school that has a mission statement. Academics can choose to attend or not to attend based on what the school is. What is your point? Heterosexuals are also forbidden to engage in sexual acts in most schools.
Intrepid, if they have a mission statement, I missed it on their website. From the info that I did see, however the school looked downright liberal compared to some in the US. For a comparison see
Patrick Henry College
with it's required statement of faith, Dept. of Government, vision to transform American society, faculty selection, etc.
Quote: Creation. Any biology, Bible or other courses at PHC dealing with creation will teach creation from the understanding of Scripture that God's creative work, as described in Genesis 1:1-31, was completed in six twenty-four hour days. All faculty for such courses will be chosen on the basis of their personal adherence to this view.
Mission
To develop godly servant leaders who have a love and burden for people based on a strong commitment to Jesus Christ, the Word of God, and the ministry of His church, who will energetically strengthen, revitalize and actively multiply communities of effectively ministering believers in Canada and around the world.
Established
Founded in 1987 as the Associated Canadian Theological Schools (ACTS) of Trinity Western University (TWU), now called ACTS Seminaries. ACTS is the Graduate School of Theological Studies of TWU. Transcripts are issued to ACTS students by TWU. The degrees are granted by TWU and in most cases conjointly with the seminary of record.

This appears to be their mission. Other than that, I know nothing about them.
