If the issue is "This Christian school has the right to discriminate" then that's a different question. But let's not do some mental hoop jumping to act like it's not discrimination.

 If TheBoost is telling me that I have the right to join the Muslim Brotherhood and that there should be protests if anyone wishes to infringe on that right, then maybe I'm starting to see his point.

In reality, equality is a goal for all, but it is unachievable in practice, especially since the definition of equality in each circumstance will forever be in a state of flux.

Regardless of the laws of the land, my church will never perform homosexual marriages.  We have the right to discriminate, just like we can discriminate against marriage with animals (with definable personalities, at least).  Such is the nature of freedom.  There must also be freedom to discriminate, even when at times others find that discrimination offensive.  If you thought about the many behaviors you don't approve of, or how many outspoken individuals have lost their jobs due to racist comments, you'd realize that you discriminate, with every legal right to do so.
