“but a new generation of Christians is looking for change – and they want to be heard”

Don’t like the action nor the reasons given. Uphold the Word of God, especially when you have taken a very public position of doing so. This looks and feels like capitulation and retreat.
Like the Boy Scouts, Exodus became “all about the money” sometime in the last decade or two. Any threat to that new standard had to be dealt with, even if it meant relinquishing values.
