Quote:I was asking you how you can support anti-discrimination laws for minorities but not for gays? Why is it society should protect you and not others?

Why is it society should give you equal access and not gays?

Don't give me the religion line. I'm religious as much as anyone that doesn't change politics that's an excuse. If your for discrimination laws to protect individuals how can you differentiate who is protected and who is not? I'm all for private property rights so across the board i have problems with discrimination laws but what your advocating is protecting some and not others.

First off, it's not discrimination to disagree with someone lifestyle because of a difference of religious beliefs.


Race and alternative lifestyles are two totally different issues at the opposite ends of the spectrum. One is something you are born with, the other is a choice. Is it fair to not bake a cake for someone who is black and have no control or choice at birth vs someone who chose to life a lifestyle that suits them since birth that conflicts with someone's beliefs?


This may blow your mind, but there are some black people who are liberal who disagree with that lifestyle because it doesn't fit their preference.


This issue runs deeper for me because of religious reasons so yes I'm giving you the "excuse", or "line" to refrain from discussing that aspect of my viewpoints.
