Good information here if you can explain to people you know who are undecided or middle-of-the-road.

I was talking to my wife about this new law and explained it thusly:

Let’s say you own a restaurant and have strong Christian values. There is one scenario in which this law does not allow you to discriminate and one in which it does:

1. A group of homosexuals come in and want to have lunch. You have to let them eat there. Refusing them service is discriminatory because the purpose of their visit is that they are human beings requiring nourishment. The FUNCTION your establishment provides is nourishment. Eating is not against your religion.

2. A Homosexual wedding party wants to have their reception in your banquet room. You can discriminate because they are now requesting to use your establishment for an event (homosexual marriage) that is against your religion.

I like when laws are nice and black and white.

Thanks for posting this.

Love this part:

We shouldn’t hold Ashton Kutcher and Miley Cyrus entirely responsible for their ignorance. Their job, after all, is to make bad music and bad movies, not report the news. Bad journalism is to blame here.

Thanks for the article link - excellent information for those who will choose to read. I’ve already posted it to a Facebook discussion I’m in so we’ll see how that develops.
