It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?
Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

If they can't do it by themselves, then the FREE MARKET should handle it via unrestrained capitalism...
I don't think it's the next tea party. I think if is the tea party. These are the same people who came out to protest a B̶l̶a̶c̶k̶ ̶P̶r̶e̶s̶i̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ higher taxes that Fox News told them would be forced upon them by Obama that never happened.

A lot of them have livelihoods at stake, and I think there are legitimate concerns about economic damage and creeping authoritarianism.But you can make your point without pulling a Godwin.
"Creeping" authoritarianism? Have you seen Hungary recently? Or, for that matter, Canada, where the Liberals tried to get the power to tax, spend and borrow without Parliament's approval until the end of next year.
