I think you got my drift, spleen, though of course emphasising your own perspective. You seem to be arguing that since it is now law to require employees to either go against their conscience or leave their employment , that they are not discriminated against. IMO, it just amounts to legalised discrimination against them.   And the tolerance the homosexual lobby and and it's allies demand , is denied to those of an opposing view. As noted above, there will be an increase of religious conscience versus "gay rights" . And it seems to me, that being as a judge can change existing law, or interpret it according to his fancy, that each case will be at the mercy of the individual judges bias. One thing for sure though.....it won't go away in a hurry ...
