“Toning it down” is a lot different than saying they cannot say homosexuality is sin. It is not the same thing.

The policy states that DJJ staff, volunteers and others “shall not imply or tell LGBTQI juveniles that they are abnormal, deviant, sinful or that they can or should change their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

Is this quote a lie?

Sounds like "toning it down" clear to silence.

I agree with you. However, that was not the point of my post.

This wasn’t about pastors having freedom to say what they want in their churches. This was about state officials setting guidelines for speech within correctional facilities, which is their right.

Pastors have plenty of sin to deal with in that population.

Seems like most posters only read the misleading headline.
