Gay behavior is not a religion except in the minds of religious zealots fearful that they might not be right or too sure of themselves.

I concur that gay behavior might not be approved by worried religious zealots, and honestly, I don't give a rat's hiney if you want to call me gay or not, because my sexual preference is my own. You can call me a pole-smoking pirate sailing the Hershey high seas and I'll smile and continue eating my cream-filled, chocolate-covered frozen banana.

But any message approving of tolerance for gay behavior certainly stands in opposition to that of many organized religions and is in itself a religious message as a result. And I think that claiming intolerance for the other viewpoint is the same as tolerance for your own is wrong on both sides of the issue. The solution is not a silent workplace, but the imposition of rules that are fair for both sides, which essentially means employers ought to be able to fire and hire for any reason they please and not worry about a lawsuit over it.
