On the basis of discrimination it has the same weight as racial considerations. As in you can't hang a Help Wanted sign saying No Jews need apply.

I would in no way say that protects the various institutions of religion. For example the state has no specific laws protecting the Catholic Church or the Episcopal Church, etc.

The liberals want to add gays , cross dressers and every freak going into anti-discrimination laws. That would affect many levels of our society.

No religious organization that believes homosexuality is wrong would be able to keep them out of any social organizations they manage. Even the Boy Scouts would have to allow deviants who want to camp with little boys.

The gay legislation is more than some bullshit civil rights issue. It is an attack on every religious and private organization in America. It is the state trampling all over the rights of these individuals. It is wrong. Aetheists know this and support the gay bullshit because they would love to see relgion in America destroyed.
Nonsense. If that were the case, why can Augusta keep women out? Sex is a protected class.

IF they get government funding, it would be different. Private organizations aren't affected, if they serve a specific group. If that weren't the case, why isn't the Catholic church forced to allow women to be priests? Why am I not allowed into the inner rooms of a LDS church? Why are there still private schools that are all-male or all-female?
