Re: Addendum to RFRA - should a prostitute be forced to have sex with whites?
I have no argument with that. But I can tell you that if someone holds as a basic matter of faith, that natural born gay people living according to their born sexual orientation, are living in sin, and as such they are precluded from serving them, somebodies always going to be offended, and this will go back and forth as one group gaines recognition over the other, perpetually.
I understand that people need protection from certain things, but it's a matter of where we draw the line. What happens in our society is that the "protected group of the moment" gets all the attention, yet the basic issue of where the line gets drawn never gets addressed. In the case of the OP, you would draw the line at a completely different point than in the case of the bakery. I understand that there needs to be some measure of latitude in how the law is applied, but even that should be defined so that the law gets applied equitably to all. So let's work towards a solution that both protects people and treats them consistently and equitably instead of basing the application of the law on how we feel about the person it it being applied to.
