Seriously, people?

You believe that the Church supporting ordinances against housing and employment discrimination are somehow a weakening of their position?

The Church is interested in protecting the sanctity of marriage, not in promoting discrimination. I don't see a problem with that.

Every human born has a God-given right to discriminate against open homosexuality in their personal and business lives, and that goes for housing and employment. There is no such thing as being "openly" black, or Asian, or white, or disabled; there is no comparison. Whether or not a person is homosexual is between that person, his/her conscience, and God. I have ZERO WAY OF KNOWING if a person is homosexual unless they intend for me to know -- and that is not the case with race, and may or may not be the case with disability.

If people or a church or a landlord or a business wants to embrace and encourage open homosexualty and discriminate in favor of it, that's their God-given right as well, though I believe it is a poor choice, and I KNOW that God doesn't work collectively, he works individually, so those who take that right to go against God's word, will answer to God -- not to me or the government -- for it.

A Godly church should OPPOSE ordinances that prohibit people from discriminating against open homosexuality in their midst.

So forcing a retailer to say, higher an open cross-dresser, is part of your "anti-discrimination" campaign?

The “church” is interested in protecting its vast business interests and land holding in SLC, and would rather avoid all the litigation.
