True, but on this issue this issue they risk falling dangerously out of step with the prevailing attitudes of society. We are reaching the point where refusing a position to someone because they are homosexual is as unacceptable as doing so because they are black or Jewish. You can already see that in the tortured and lame justification they offer for their discrimination. Not that homosexuality is evil or immoral, but "our mission does not include teaching young people about sex or sexual orientation." Yeah, I'm sure that's the real reason.
