I guess an example could be Home Depot. HD didn’t go around saying that no health insurance anywhere should cover things that they objected to on a religious basis or that their employees couldn’t engage in those objectionable activities, only that they shouldn’t be forced by the gov’t to pay for things they object to. The flower shop being sued for discrimination didn’t say that no gay couple getting married should have flowers, only that they did not believe in gay marriage and therefore did not want to do their flower arrangements.
In both cases these businesses are making profit and paying taxes (Ceasar’s things), and the gov’t shouldn’t be able to pass laws that force law abiding productive citizens to go against their religious.
The liberals were telling everyone that conservatives didn’t want to cure disease because they objected to the use of fetal stem cell research. But the objection was gov’t funding of the research, forcing taxpayers to fund something that some object to on a religious basis. They weren’t trying to stop private research.A lot of libs were surprised when I told them this.
You described the conservative position, which is restrict government and don’t force the homosexual agenda on people.
The libertarian position is fine on that private sector part, but they support homosexual marriage, adoption, military service, and immigration as spouses.
