I'm curious with all this talk of property rights... How many of you would argue that the business has the right to say that gays can't enter the private property because it is, in fact, private. After all, the homosexual doesn't have a "right to that job", does he? He can go find another job if he doesn't like the conditions, right? Absolutely not! He's going to sue the company and win. Someone please tell me if this is faulty logic.

Dear God defeats Darwin,

"He's going to sue the company and win."

Depends on where he lives.

It isn't against federal law to discriminate against someone because he is homosexual.

But it is a violation of law here in Maryland.

Different states and localities treat this circumstance differently.

But if you fire someone because he's homosexual, it isn't a violation of his constitutional rights, even if it is a violation of local law.
