but just because it's private doesn't mean they don't have to adhere to discriminatory laws....do they have discrimination laws in the us lol? i just imagine everybody being like no free speech we can say what we want.

There really are no outright discrimination laws for the us as a whole; it's state by state.
I don't agree with it, but no one forced them go to a school with an honor code like that.

Non-discrimination laws for lgbt are lacking in many areas. The study The State of Higher Education for LGBT has some sad and scary findings:

In fact, the majority of the nearly 4,500 colleges and universities in the United States do not consider the needs of LGBT people on campus where only 13 percent and 6 percent offer non-discrimination protections based on sexual orientation and gender identity, respectively.
