Re: Senate passes LGBT anti-discrimination bill
I understand, but still maintain that for many neither is a choice. Yes, folks raised in certain religions do have access to outside info, increased options for choice. But humans are notorious for choosing the familiar. However, must be noted that the choice options for those who have the genetic compulsion towards homosexuality have a greater range of choices than you list. As we have seen many do indeed never go to the behavior, but instead live as heterosexuals (especially women).
There is no demand here, we were talking about the choices for both religion and sexual orientation and how they can be equally forced.
My main objection to ENDA has to do with the legimization of all sexual "orientations".
People brought up on a religion are capable of researching various alternative belief systems and settling on whatever they prefer. The fact many do not only tells us they choose not to. If you're talking of this bill and allowing someone to be fired for their sexuality, that's just not the same. Staying in the closet and staying a virgin for one's whole life is a sure path to misery. It's not a reasonable demand.
For that matter, i'm not pushing for religion to be removed from ENDA the way others demand that sexuality is not protected. I don't care to see someone fired for being methodist or jewish or whatever. I'm just saying it's BS that one is protected and the other is not.
