You can only access certain public facilities, or avail yourself of certain public benefits, if you reject your faith's teachings on homosexuality. This is an inherent problem when you start banning "discrimination" based on conduct.

Agreed, but as the saying goes, "You don't have a right not to be offended." As an individual, you have the choice of availing yourself of any of those things. If your faith calls on you to reject them, then that's the price of your faith and more power to ya. Complaining that your faith inconveniences you, though, seems odd.

Oh, by the way, I looked at your homepage. Nice taste in movies! I was amazed to see Jigoku on your list. I went to a screening of that several years back that was apparently the first time it had ever been shown in the States, as far as the people at the Japanese consulate (who had arranged the screening) could tell. I was surprised when I saw Criterion had put it out.

I'm not complaining that it inconveniences me. I'm willing to place my faith first and sacrifice if need be. However, I don't see why people should have to sacrifice their faith on behalf of a worthless, unnatural, and destructive sex fetish. What is it about homosexuality that its practitioners deserve protection from "discrimination", enforced to the point that good people are now being shut out because they won't prostrate themselves in front of some pervert who wants to take little boys on camping trips and to pass himself and his perversion off to them as worthy of emulation?

It's as ludicrous as telling dieticians that they can't use public facilities unless they endorse gluttony.

Name one positive thing about homosexuality.

Criterion is amazing! Another great resource for Asiaphiles is the website yesasia.com!
