People often ask, “What would Jesus do?” I also like to ask, “What would the Pharisees have done?” The Pharisees were the self-righteous, legalistic religious leaders who drew Jesus’ contempt because they cared more about finding fault in others than in recognizing and correcting their own shortcomings. When I compare my rejection at Baylor to the open arms at [my partner's South Carolina Christian] college, I must ask, “Who acted like Jesus? Who acted like the Pharisees?”
To whom much is given, much is required. Gay alumni, faculty, and students have given much to Baylor over the years, yet Baylor blatantly advocates intolerance and discrimination against gay people.
What would Jesus do? What would the Pharisees do?
