[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1284789, member: 17969"] We as a nation, should never look to provide a means for discrimination on religious anything. If you open a business, you open it with the intention on serving the public. That public is a protected class. That public has a right to believe what they want without having to subscribe to anyone eles's belief system. NO matter how you write it, discrimination is discrimination. IF you are a person who believes so strongly in a religion that you cant bring yourself into accepting someone who doesnt believe as you do, then you shouldnt open or offer a service that would attract people of all religious backgrounds. You cant write a bill that is specific enough to target one segment of society. You cant write a bill that broadly protects one class of people while discriminating against another class. The religious right of this country seeks more power in our government, power that has been restricted by the founders for this very reason. When I compare extremist christians (like the Alliance Defending Freedom) to the Taliban, the reason is simple. They too dont want to associate with others who dont believe as they do, only difference is, they kill the opposition. Here, money and political favoritism brings these kinds of bills about. 5 republicans came forward to say they didnt read the bill or understand it before they voted on it. Maybe if they had an actual discussion on this bill in the first place in the AZ legislature with both sides represented, it would have died a timely death on the floor. Instead, MONEY was in the drivers seat with this bill as the ADF poured millions of dollars into the coffers of GOP politicians to get it on the floor and voted on before anyone could research its hidden intentions. To deny that its intention was to protect discriminating practices is disengenuous on its face. TOS. [/QUOTE]
