No one has come to the table and stated why they deserve special rights or why the laws in place don't already protect their rights, as it does mine. Just a bunch of liberal BS.

1. The ordinance didn't give anyone special rights.

2. It has been explained ad nauseum why the laws currently in place to not protect the rights of LGBT citizens. If you don't understand this yet, you haven't been paying attention. (or you're really stupid, but I'm going to give you the benefit of doubt and assume you just haven't put forth much effort)

edit: An explanation is on the first page of this very thread, so you have no excuse.

1. Yes it does give special rights. Employment protection and housing protection are already included in the current law. This addition allows for criminal charges to be filed. So discriminate against an ethnic group and face civil charges...but discriminate against a gay and face criminal charges. Yep no special rights here.

Furthermore, why should a religious organization or private school, daycare, etc...be forced to hire people that don't align with their beliefs? If you have kids, would you be ok with their daycare being forced to allow gay people to work there. Cause I sure as hell wouldn't.
