frogprince: "..gfs, is is ok to discriminate on the basis of religious creed, because that is an elective choice?"

Well, if there is a 'religion' that does not believe that homosexuality is 'acceptable' or a sin or whatever, that is their prerogative. Whether or not they 'discriminate' might be a matter of perception, depending on what behavior they show toward homosexuals. Some 'religions' are more 'accepting' than others. This is a no-brainer. The very peculiar thing is some homosexuals rail against some of these 'religions'..but want them to accept their homosexual behavior. Seems to me, that if you don't like them, stay away from them....but instead, they wage a 'bickering war' with them....and try to pressure them to abandon their already established beliefs,...rather than abandoning theirs. You'd have to take that up with them..either side...but bottom lining it, if a religion thinks its 'forbidden'..let them think that...after all, it used to be a free country.

What really gets me, is that I posted a link, that pro-homosexual groups were putting pressure on corporations, in regards to supporting charitable organizations who don't adopt their philosophy...so now you may have corporate influence and pressure on the charities....and I rather hold suspect ANY political/corporate mergers...as in fascism, no matter what side is employing it. Look up ALEC...same thing, other side.
Oh, we love to rip them a new asshole..but only when THAT OTHER side is doing it...not 'our side'...then it's just OK..right?
Hypocrisy is just a lot of fun...depending on who's side its on!
