“but citizens are being deprived of significant First Amendment rights, as well.”

Under similar statutes, Christian business owners and churches have been forced to violate their religious beliefs.

First Amendment, paraphrased:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

If supremacism is ones religion, then treating gay Americans (or Jews, or atheists) as equals, would be a violation of their religious expression. Not unlike the implications of the KKK’s belief “that the United States of America was founded as a white Christian nation”

Putting responsibility for the genocide of Native Americans squarely at the feet of God.

Just like any negative effects that their religious beliefs discrimination may have on us.

In other words, Christians can discriminate against anybody who disagrees with their theocratic policies, such as Jews and gays.

Regan, I think single parents would be next for them.

I mean seriously?

“Children being deprived of a mother an father.”

“Ineffective’ first amendment rights protection?

When, when WHEN are they going to get that: children are not a requisite to qualify to marry?

Single parents are a fact of life (for whatever reason, so therefore these children sometimes don’t have a mother or father either? It’s not ILLEGAL or even IMMORAL to be a single parent.

So that stupid ‘deprivation’ angle is so much BS.
Especially when they are complaining about ‘effective’ enough rights?
How DO they define ‘effective’ on THEIR terms?

What do they call it when heterosexuals don’t meet their religious criteria either?

I would just think if a group was all about the family they might talk about it more, instead of focusing on THE GAY!
