LGBT group urges Biden to strip accreditation of Christian schools with biblical beliefs
I think way too many people use the Bible to excuse unChristian behavior.
Sure, but what is the unchristian behavior in this scenario? Treating heterosexuality as normative?I think way too many people use the Bible to excuse unChristian behavior.

It is normative and will always be so. Most people will always be heterosexual. And most Christians will be taught to regard it as a sin. The question for Christians and the implications of these kinds of laws, is how to deal with non-Christians about it.Sure, but what is the unchristian behavior in this scenario?

In general, I find being a bit of a jerk to other people for living, being, or believing differently than you do is the unchristian behavior. You can be your version of normative without being mean about somebody else’s version of normal.
Judging by the poor quality of the responses so far, I can only assume that many of the people replying have little to no idea what this is all about, and quite probably didn't even read the article linked to in the OP.
From the article:
The Catholic Church, lawyers, police, the BBC, comedians and secularists have also raised concerns about the impact of the legislation on free speech.
It's extremely obvious which demographic will be most likely to try and use this legislation to suppress free speech. It's bad enough that France has seen beheadings and other mass murder atrocities over the issue of free speech. The last thing we need here in the UK is a bunch of illiberal 'progressives' creating the same kind of chilling effect on free speech by enacting backward laws to prevent beliefs, views, values, and behaviours from being subjected to legitimate criticism.
If that's what you think then evidently you have never read and understood the Bible. Jesus himself reiterated God's design for relationships in Matthew Chapter 19 verses 4-6, when he referred the Pharisees to Genesis Chapter 2 verse 24.There is nothing in the Gospels about sexual behavour apart from the woman who was to be stoned to death for adultery.
Non-Christians are free to regard it however they want, but I don't think Christians have an obligation to make compromises with the faith to satisfy 21st century humanist notions of morality. If someone doesn't like what Christianity teaches they can reject it (as many do) and they'd have the backing of most of western society, governments and major corporations in doing so.It is normative and will always be so.

I don't believe anyone is intending that Christians be prohibited from teaching that homosexual acts are sinful.Non-Christians are free to regard it however they want, but I don't think Christians have an obligation to make compromises with the faith to satisfy 21st century humanist notions of morality.

Surely one should expect Christian curriculums to actually educate people on Christianity.
I agree with you. But there is a demographic for whom any disagreement at all is "hate". They cannot understand mere disagreement with decisions made.In general, I find being a bit of a jerk to other people for living, being, or believing differently than you do is the unchristian behavior. You can be your version of normative without being mean about somebody else’s version of normal.
