I have no objection to a religious organization living by their precepts, but making a very public statement about a very controversial issue and than changing course is a PR disaster, and does great harm to those religious Christians who are tired of being portrayed by the left as “haters.” Like it or not, this sort of thing has very negative political implcations for conservatives and Republicans. Again, it’s not the policy that aggravates me, it’s the reversal, and the unnecessary attention.
