Re: Arizona lawmakers pass controversial anti-gay bill
It isnt about equality its about property rights. If i have a box of rice and decide to sell it, why should you choose who i sell it to? What gives you the right to control my property?
First of all, unless you are a sociopath (which granted the official diagnosis has yet to come in) emotions are a part of life and of being human. You like to dismiss them as mush and pretend you don't have any, or that yours are somehow more legit, because your emotion of choice is anger and baseless insults. How does that play out for you in real life btw?
Promoting fairness has served as a legitimate basis for existing legislation. Just because equality makes your eyes burn when you see it does not mean that promoting its presence in our laws is purely an emotion plea. It's pragmatic.
