It’s not that simple for non-profit faith based groups who will be forced to admit or hire homosexuals. Consider the effect on Christian schools, Christian camps, or even volunteer ministries.

For example, I volunteer in a prison ministry which enables me to go to prisons to teach the Bible. It’s on a shoestring budget, and most of our staff are volunteers. Will we now be required to allow homosexuals to teach our religious curriculum or fear losing tax exempt status? Remember, that tax exemption applies to not only the organizational budget, but to our donors’ gifts.

The same goes for Christian schools, who will now be forced to hire homosexual teachers/ staff or lose their tax exempt status. This goes far beyond the marriage question, because this ruling has created a new protected class.

If any Christian works/ministries are depending on their tax exempt status, they NEED to lose it.

Neither God nor true believers are not restrained by a need for tax-exempt status and give - and the tax-exempt status is not even a consideration. Believers I know give with no regard for tax benefits, or benefits to self. And it’s a lie to say Christians can give more if they get a tax benefit. True giving considers no benefit to self.

And as others have said, Christian groups need to be free from gov. control, as they would be if they gave up tax exempt status.
