There's been precious little confusion for millenia about the prohibition on homosexual acts.

Clarifying for his students through email a view held by the dominant divisions of the branches of Western Monotheism for the past several thousand years is not pushing the envelope.

Firing him for explaining to his students what Leviticus means IS pushing the envelope.

We're better than that... or at least we should be. All he did was explain the Church's position on the issue. He did not "whine." He got fired for telling his students that water is wet. That's messed up. Are you really saying he got what he deserved?

All he did was explain the Church’s position on the issue.

He did not “whine.” He got fired for telling his students that water is wet.

That’s messed up.
