You are supporting singling out gays as being different and therefore deserving of special treatment. That's going against equality. If you are anti-discrimination based on sexual orientation then no orientation should get treated better over another.
You don't have to be homosexual (sexual orientation) to get legally married to someone of the same sex. So how is that singling out people by sexual orientation?
"Equality" does mean singling out those who are "different" and giving them "special" treatment just because they are different or minority or whatever. Or at least so it appears. It's like every time you turn on the news some group is protesting or demanding something. It's gotten to the point where everyone is afraid of everyone because they are afraid to offend them in some way because everyone gets all butt hurt over the littlest things these days.
Anti "discrimination" laws have recently been used to force Ministers to preform same sex "Weddings", rent out wedding halls for same sex "Weddings", sell wedding rings" for same sex "Weddings, bake wedding cakes for same sex "weddings", forced religious colleges to accept homosexuals into them etc.
Are the anti-"discrimination" laws as currently practiced in much of America bigoted against religious people who are trying to follow their religions.
This is totally bogus! The only way phobes can attempt to gain any support for their misguided viewpoint is by making up lies, and making false claims like these that sensationalize, and distort the facts. No religious institution is forced to perform any weddings. BTW, there more than enough establishments, ie wedding halls, bakeries, etc looking for the gay dollar.
I think all this politically correct anti-discrimination stuff being forced on everyone is actually causing more harm than good. This is my observation. From what I gather it is cornering people into a catch-22 and basically becoming a form of mind control and a violation of rights if you really think about it.
I was thinking this the other day, for example, we are being told that gays should be treated equally and not discriminated against right? Now, we supposedly have "religious freedom" and cannot be discriminated against or persecuted for religious beliefs. There's a few religions out there that believe homosexuality is a sin and inhuman and what not, blah blah blah. So with legalizing gay marriage, even though it goes against the beliefs of certain religions, said religions cannot discriminate against gay folk getting married in a church or whatever. Makes no sense to me. Get what I'm saying?
Just seems all this crap is dividing us as a nation more than ever by basically forcing people to think and behave a certain way against their beliefs. It's like if you listen to rock music, and you're a diehard rock fan, you also have to listen to, and like, country music simply because it exists. What if just don't like the sound of country music? I have no problem with it, but it just isn't my thing. Why should have to listen to it if I don't like it? Now, if I go around beating up country music fans or persecute or discriminate country music fans just because *I* don't like country music well that is a different story. Based upon our constitution country music absolutely has a right to exist but that doesn't mean I have to listen to it or like it. Meh, whatever.
There were no Churchs, Religious Groups, Organzations, etc forced to marry same-sex couples or provide them with services. A FOR-PROFIT Business is not a Religious Organization and the laws apply to them
I swear the religious right needs to realize we're trying to establish a civilized world where mob rule isn't the law and hatred and bias isn't allowed to run rampant and cause suffering among whole groups of people, by the millions. Not anymore at least.
Seen your Civilized world at it reminds me a lot of the USSR
how many people do you plan on murdering to get to your communist utopia?
Why would you have to demand service? Are you saying that the Clifton Barber Shop refuses to sell its services to white people?
It doesn't have to be the Clifton Barber Shop.
It could be any barber shop located in the inner city of Detroit that's has an exclusively black clientele.
There is no reason for me to drive past countless other barber shops that do white hair every day on the way to a barber shop that doesn't, and there is no legitimate reason for me to demand service from a business that isn't particularly interested in doing business with me.
The irony of homosexuals demanding tolerance while they go out of their way to force their special brand of intolerance on Christians is breathtaking.
Which part? The 5? The word Lexington? Or the word pride?
Has the printer ever printed other things with a 5, the word Lexington, or the word pride? If so there is no way they were offended.
and if go to a gay t shirt maker and ask for a shirt that says gays are all evil, would you also say that that is covered under antidiscrimination laws that include religion
Which part do you have a problem with? The word gays? The word are? the word all ? Or the word evil?

This is yet another example of the lame excuses conjured up to justify bullying, attacking and destroying anyone and everyone of religious faith and rendering them unable to provide food for their tables such that their families go hungry and starve. This diabolical hatred is one sided and exclusively perpetrated by the homosexual deviant. Perhaps God will soon proclaim that an attack on any person of religion and/or faith will be considered a direct attack on God by the homosexual deviant and result in full retaliatory response on those humanoids inflicted with the curse of homosexuality requiring immediate, painful, cruel and most assuredly there unusual removal from this planet en toto and of all existence.
Sexual orientation is not sexual behavior. Sexual orientation is related to attraction. But you go on making up your own definitions for words.
If you truly believe what you just says that means you agree I'm allowed according to the law to refuse to bake a wedding cake for a same sex "Wedding" because the law only protects those who have the desire for homosexual relations not those who act on it.
