TeLaFaWx, I'm so glad you're in this thread. You do a great job of explaining that which is hard to understand for some.
I find it difficult to think that so many people accept the idea of "private" business as being a personal right. They see the current religious discrimination against gays as okay but don't see the big picture which would have to include the acceptance of discrimination by anyone against anyone else.
Some want religious "freedom" to extend into every facet of American life. Our nation's founders and the Constitution they forged laid out the parameters for religious practice in the U. S.
No religion can be part of our various governments, for example. Nor can religious laws supersede a civil system of rules. It is the latter that proponents of religious "freedom" want to accomplish.
They want to override anti-discriminatory civil laws with laws that grant them the right to selectively provide services to the public based on whom they feel are in concert with their religious beliefs.
