re: Fayetteville's Anti-Discrimination Ordinance... repealed.

Maybe I'm wrong but not from how I read it. It allowed exemptions for ministers(not forcing them to administer same sex marriages), but not private schools or "non-secular" church positions.

From the ordinance:

Nothing contained in this chapter shall be deemed to prohibit a religious or denominational institution from selecting or rejecting applicants and employees for non-secular positions on the basis of the applicant's or employee's conformance with the institution's religious or denominational principles.

I'm under the impression that a private religious school or daycare would be considered non-secular since religious instruction is typically part of the curriculum. I guess if a janitor came out as gay then the daycare couldn't fire him since I'm not sure how one would argue 'janitor' is a non-secular position.

You're correct about religious organizations not being forced to open their doors for ceremonies or meetings, like marriages. That part is really explicit in the ordinance.
