The phrase “homosexual agenda” amuses me… Like there is this big conspiracy by gay people to infiltrate and warp the minds of the straight world. I would be willing to bet most gay people’s “agenda” is to live in peace with their families without having to hear a bunch of shit from everyone or worry about if they will be kicked out of a restaurant or beaten to within an inch of their lives simply for existing. If that “agenda” frightens you, then you, sir, are an asshole. IF there were an agenda, the only reason it would exist would be BECAUSE people like you make it so difficult for them to live how they want to, to be accepted without qualifications to make YOU feel better. How’s that for irony?

Discrimination, by any other name…is still against the Constitution
I find it distressing that in the current social climate of America, it is now “politically incorrect” to deny someone the right to be a dick to others…
If you have any doubts, in Arizona, the argument now is not about gay people’s rights to be served and treated like everyone else. It is about restaurant owner’s rights to use their religion as an excuse to discriminate. I’m pretty sure even if the bible was interpreted to be against homosexuality, that still would not give followers of the bible the right to treat gay people poorly.
But living in a pluralistic society that also grants freedom and civil rights protection to those with whom one disagrees is not the same as religious persecution. And crying persecution every time one doesn’t get one’s way is an insult to the very real religious persecution happening in the world today.
The above is a quote from an excellent article. Whether Christian or not, I suggest everyone read it. This principal can be applied to anyone using their beliefs as platform from which to actively discriminate against others.
