It's worth noting that their statement of values excludes the majority of heterosexuals as well by prohibiting sex outside of the context of a same-sex marriage.
They seem to require people to behave like Christians at any rate. Well, Christian as defined by them. I'm sure that there are a lot of people who identify as Christians who do not feel that regarding homosexuality as impure is required by their faith. I think that your earlier point that there is a clear double standard at work by requiring a section of legally married couples to abstain from sex was a good one too.
But it is the "Meiorin test" that you brought up that seems likely to make these issues a legal matter. I don't think their policy passes it.

What I'm interested in is whether they refuse to hire non-Christians.
