Southern Baptist Theological Seminary is one of the top intellectual centers of Southern Baptist life. Until the fundamentalist takeover it was a respected center of Biblical and theological scholarship. Dr. Roy Honeycutt represented the open-mindedness in theological education that is no longer present. Southern Seminary in Louisville, KY and Southeastern Seminary in Wake Forest, NC in the 60's, 70's and early 80's were well on their way towards full inclusion of women in the ministry and I am pretty sure that if they were free from fundamentalist interference they would by now also be fully inclusive of LGBTQ Christians.
