For years, Baylor University, the largest Baptist school in the world, considered “homosexual acts” the same as sexual assault, incest, adultery, and sexual harassment. No longer. The university has dropped the ban from its sexual-conduct policy, which had previously considered it among a handful of “misuses of God’s gift.” The new policy no longer bans specific acts, but simply says “physical sexual intimacy is to be expressed in the context of marital fidelity.” Never a school on the cutting edge, Baylor lifted its ban on dancing in 1996.
