Federal law makes it pretty much impossible to take a stance along the lines of, “This is what we believe, but out of compassion and pragmatism we’re willing to be flexible for a certain amount of time, with certain people, and/or in certain situations.” Either you have a blanket policy that applies to all people in all instances, or federal courts will rule that you don’t “really” have a principled position and invalidate the broader policy because of the exceptions.





So, do the right thing. Don't make exceptions. Tolerance is not a Christian virtue, it is the first step along the path to destruction.

Christian organizations might as well learn to start standing firmly on their principles, because you either use them or you lose them:One of Rod Dreher's commenters adds an observation.
