[QUOTE="Overpaid Union Thug, post: 1284757, member: 198"] I can actually see both sides of this issue. Believe me I can. The problem though is that (and this is where, as you stated, you would need to think outside the box) discrimination and having a genuine conflict on religious grounds are two different things. Just because someone doesn't want to take pictures at a gay wedding or bake a cake for one because of religious reasons doesn't mean they are discriminating. There is such a thing as a genuine fear of having religious conflicts of interest. I would prefer that if they are going to attempt to pass these laws they need to be specific about what is covered instead of leaving it open to be interpreted that it is applied on such a broad scale. And that is where I can see the POTENTIAL for discrimination. The laws, should they be attempted again, should clearly state what, how, why, etc. they apply. If it's done that way it tightly restricts the guidelines that determines on which religious grounds a business can legitimately refuse service and would virtually eliminate arbitrary and hateful discrimination. Or...an even better solution....if someone doesn't want to serve you....take your business elsewhere. That's what I do. [/QUOTE]
