“Good. Not only is this statute absurdly unconstitutional, it WILL come back to bit we Christians in our collective a**es as it will be used against us in time.”
Explain what is unconstitutional about it? Nowhere in the Bill of Rights are sodomites protected against discrimination.

There’s a line where an action goes from being an expression of religious independence and into being just plain inhumane, though. I mean, can a doctor refuse to treat a lesbian’s injuries, citing religious beliefs? If a tow truck driver gets a call for service and sees two guys holding hands as they wait by their broken-down vehicle, can he say “sorry” and drive off?
Condemn the act, don’t let them sully marriage or adopt kids, and protest every time your public tax dollars go to some LGB-whatever Awareness Week, that’s all well and good expressions of your personal religious liberty. I don’t like it all any more than you do.
But this bill in AZ just leaves an awful feeling behind. These are people that have chosen a path away from God, but it isn’t up to us to punish them this severely.
