Another straw man. The hospitals I worked at, as a nurse, were forbidden to question as to sexuality, HIV positive, etc. Which means that you could eat food prepared by an HIV positive homosexual who has a compulsion to give the "gift" or given an IV by such a person, or even be operated on by such a person. Hope you don't mind. That is current law, btw.
Consequently, for example, if I am Catholic and gay, and I apply for a job at a church or church-operated facility, I should be rejected solely based upon being gay and have no recourse because churches should have the right under the First Amendment to associate with whomever they want--or exclude whomever they want.
Exactly. As for the rest of your post, you're getting hysterical.
Judith, I am not presenting a "straw man" argument. The logical progression of the arguments being made in this thread is inescapable and, once again, you have confirmed that my understanding is correct. Apparently, the situation you described at hospitals is abhorent to you and you would prefer that gays not be permitted to work in any medical environment. OK, we have now eliminated churches and medical employment. I presume you will want to add schools. What other types of employment should be forbidden to gays and bi-sexuals?
Incidentally, as this discussion continues, I ask everyone to go back to the message which claimed gays have been seeking "special rights". Apparently, in YOUR scheme of things, employment is a "special right" too! What's next?
