You said that "CSWE does not discriminate against Christians." Christians are not being thrown to the lions, but orthodox monotheistic faith groups (Christians, Muslims and Jews) have specific views on marriage and gender. To truly accomodate these views, you would need to welcome practising social workers with diverse views on the matter of gender. Obviously, hatred directed at gay clients would not be acceptable under any accomodation agreement, but you could specify the conditions of coexistence. CSWE does not even attempt to do that. Asking faith-based universities to sign statements that are specifically contrary to their religous and philosophical stance amounts to discrimination. You can defend the CSWE stance, but you should understand how the other side views it. Frankly, I don't see how this has anything to do with science.

It has everything to do with science. Teaching people that their natural inclinations are sinful based on man-made stories has caused millions of LGBTQ people to be depressed and suicidal. They have much higher than average suicide rates because of societal criticism based on fictitious stories and not science. It's one of the worst things you can do as a mental health professional. If you have beliefs that can negatively impact a person's mental health, as a professional, you should keep them to yourself. Imagine a physician not giving a blood transfusion because he thought it was sinful. Licensing boards and professional organizations don't care if a physician is a Jehovah's Witness. He or she is required to give optimal care and, if he or she can't do that, then he or she shouldn't become a doctor.
