In a February 19, 2020 statement Daly wrote he was concerned by the Gonzaga University School of Law’s establishment of an LGBTQ+ Rights Clinic without first consulting him. The clinic’s stated aims are “to advance the equal rights and dignity of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+ through education, programming, advocacy, research, and legal representation.” In his statement Daly speculated that the clinic might bring the Law School “into conflict with the religious freedom of Christian individuals and organizations,” and expressed fear that the Law School “will be actively promoting, in the legal arena and on campus, values that are contrary to the Catholic faith and Natural Law.”
