Well as I stated in an earlier post the only thing that Wal-Mart has going for them in this is that they seem to be equally interested in protecting people with religious beliefs as well at least at this point in time.

However, there have been steps by the militants to eliminate freedom of speech for religious people from the public square. That's why these things have to be resisted. This is where special rights, hate crime legislation etc... is planting it's ugly roots.

I wonder breakem, will you seriously bother showing up when John's start losing their jobs because Adam's are offended by their "thoughts". Somehow I think you will be piping in calling the John's "haters".

Please refrain from telling me that is far-fetched. These things are already happening in the socialist population centers. An Atlanta judge may not get an appointment simply because he refused to take his children to Disney's Gay Days. Ya know he's a hater. By that approach social conservatives have been deemed unfit for government office.

That is "sensitivity training" and socialism. This is the true end on this path. Parents are told who they should associate their children with. It is already in the schools also. Where is your fight against sensitivity training. I haven't ever witnessed it.

Two different things.

Until the SC decision, gays in a few states could be arrested for doing something with their bodies that I could do to my wife legally.

This is NOT "equal protection under the law" - from the 14th Amendment.

You made a leap of logic because you ascribed something to me I have not stated. You can wonder all you want. I'm not with the thought police. Hell, I'm tryinmg to police my own thoughts.

I am often on these threads as a proponent of individual freedom and responsibility. I believe adults have a right to engage in sex with each other without you or others codifying your morality. I believe companies can decide their own rules of employment. I am opposed to hate crime or attempts at thought policing. Hope you can sleep better now.
