Having an adoption agency and wanting to pick the type of parents you want? I don't know.

Very well said. I would just add that in golf you have to have a score to qualify. Foster parents too have to qualify. And Obergefell concluded that sexual orientation does not prevent one from being a good parent. So, for the religious institutions to deny same sex foster care would be to exclude the well qualified applicants for something that has nothing to do in being a well qualified applicant.
I think this also carries over to the specif topic here. There needs to be an legal/rational/scientific understanding about who who is a well qualified male/female. Therefore, any other exclusion, segregation can be seen as a moral act, rather than legal.
