Jethani’s points
1. Marriage has gone from an assumed belief to an essential doctrine

From the RNS piece
In 2014, the California State University system put InterVarsity on probation for a year for violating its nondiscrimination policies. This was a critical juncture for the campus ministry.
Universities denying campus access to ministries with explicit statements against LGBT individuals, particularly those who chose to marry, will be perceived by much of the evangelical world with contempt and condemnation. This is not persecution. This is not an orthodoxy issue. This is not a campus access issue.
This is a spiritual abuse issue. This is an issue about the inherent dignity of God’s beloved children.
