And the slippery slope has started already. Fantastic, what's next? Should I, as a non believer, be able to discriminate against the religious? No mental care? No health care for unwed mothers? Where should it stop?
Personally, this is what happens when Faith-based groups and the Government drink from the same well. One of the hundred or so White House "faith based" organizations World Vision already passed then reversed LGBT protections when donors squawked. They're trying to have their cake and eat it to.
social conduct has always been an employer measure for hiring. you can be what you want to be in your own personal life (as long as you stay off facebook LOL) but if you come in acting and dressing like a clown to the interview expect not to get hired. he is running a business not a circus show.

What in the world are you talking about? The thread is about discriminating against the lgbt community, just because someone is gay doesn't make them a clown right?
So you don't have an opinion? Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the OP say where SHOULD it stop? Sounds like you have faith in the courts, but they have proved that the conservatives on the court aren't after what is best for the country, but best for their own agendas. The slippery slope has indeed started memphisblues, and the religious nuts won't stop until they can discriminate against everyone they please. If many more of these ridiculous things happen, I will stop looking for places to live here in America, and go somewhere with less nut jobs trying to force their religion into everyone's lives. While I'm here, since when has birth control or hiring gays been a no-no according to the bible?

Opposing immoraity is not discrimination. It is the right thing to do.
Are you at all familiar with an incident that took place in Nazi Germany in 1934 called The Night of the Long Knives?
As Hitler was rising in power, the SA (Brown Shirts) had to be reined in. They were becoming too powerful, too independent and too, dare I say it? Yeah, they became too ... entangled in homosexuality. Even the SA leader, Ernst Rohm, was a well-known homosexual.
So, over the period of about a month, Hitler had practically the entire SA leadership assassinated, including Ernst Rohm who was a personal friend of Hitler.
Now, the purpose here isn't to compare fundy Christianity with Naziism but to warn you of the dangers of fascism and intolerance.
For, you see, those SA leaders were often screaming 'Heil Hitler' and giving the Nazi salute even as they died.
Those men who were assassinated, they thought they were safe. They thought they had chosen the right side by embracing fascism, wearing the swastika, joining the Nazi party, and swearing fealty to Hitler. But they were killed anyway.
That should be a lesson to Christians who think they're on the "right" side of morality by supporting religious fascism. The problem with fascism is that it can turn on you like a viper - sooner or later, someone you actually care about, perhaps even yourself, will eventually be affected by this vicious campaign of hate you have going on. That which you now so vociferously support just might be your undoing somehow, not by the actions of atheists but by the intolerance and hatred of your own Christian brethren because -you- didn't pass the purity test.
