Okay, what is your opinion of the arguments being presented on religious freedom? Do you think they're consistent, or do you think gays are being targeted?
No, they are not consistent, I also believe gays are being targeted. But Christians are also being targeted.

Thank you. Are you saying Christians are being targeted by the gay community and supporters? If the answer is yes, then do you think gay supporters are targeting Christians or simply reacting to being targeted themselves?

Partisans are like that. Blinded by ideology.

No I see some who are fighting to get special exemption from generally applicable laws getting teed off when other religions are using those exemptions for themselves.

Open the can o worms, don't get mad when other s use those worms to fish too.

I agree. On both sides. Consistency should be the goal.

I agree in that if one supports the religious view of Christians, Muslims, etc. everyone needs to be consistent in their approach to the law.

In my opinion, progressives hate Christians but have some weird tolerance for Muslims which is odd considering the gays and ultra liberals would be the first ones killed.

Let's forget the progressives for a moment. Let's call the group "gays and their supporters." Do you think gays and their supporters are targeting Christians or reacting to being targeted themselves?

I think gay supporters are simply reacting to being targeted themselves in most cases. Islam is clear in its prohibition of homosexual acts too. And let's face it, Christians majority countries offering far more tolerant views than Muslim majority countries. (Not saying Christian countries are perfect, but yes, we are much more tolerant. )
