Well, Senator Kirk, suppose you run a small Christian gift shop, and in walks
Senator Kirk wanting you to special order a copy of the art work “Piss Christ,” which you consider blatantly blasphemous. If you refuse on religious grounds, can Senator Kirk sue you?
Suppose you run a Kosher or Moslem butcher shop and Senator Kirk walks in with a bag full of bacon. You tell him to leave because he is offending your customers. Can Senator Kirk sue you? In either case, are you a bigot merely because you adhere to an ancient and well known religious tradition.
The ignorance and vitriol is astounding on the face of it. Surprised a Senator could be so uninformed. Calling people with a conscience “bigots” is no way to increase civility.
