As with the Catholics and Southern Baptists, maintaining your “respectability” in the United States always means abandoning your traditions and caving to fashionable trends in America’s secular liberal culture:

Note: Jews are the trendsetters in America’s popular culture. They decided a long time ago that homosexuality and gay marriage was going to be normalized.

Americanism is the dominant culture. Christianity is an embattled subculture. These developments aren’t evolving naturally out of Christian theology – Catholic, Mormon, Southern Baptist, etc. – it is just a case of the trendsetters setting the ground rules of “respectability” in the mainstream and forcing all the other players to grudgingly adapt to the situation. The War on Christmas is another example of this.
