Tragically, this is but an extension of what has been going on under the umbrella of newly created "Civil Rights" since the middle of the last Century. Every decision anyone makes, based upon personal preferences & deliberations, is a form of discrimination. But bit by bit, the word was stripped of its traditional deliberate free choice between alternatives, as we watched one extension after another of classes of person, against whom it was no longer to be legally permissible, to reject on a growing list of bases.

Always the appeal was to "fairness." But in a free society, people dealing with their own property always have a right to favor those whom they choose to favor. It is not about taking anything away from any body. It is simply a right to favor whomever you wish, so long as you are simply dealing with your own property, or associations.

What avowed homosexuals are now claiming is outrageous, but it is really only a slight extension of the half-century old denial of the right of individuals to favor those who shared their religious beliefs. Because of the offensive public antics of some of the proponents, it seems more extreme; but the right to be guided by one's own moral outlook, has already been taken away in the name of "fairness."

In the animal kingdom, the weakest link(for obvious reasons)cannot, and does not survive. I imagine there won’t be many of those “thin-skinned types to survive the coming trials.
