This video by Focus on the Family (which by the way does not allow you to rate it or leave comments) is bad, but it makes several points as to problem of some people who think that their religion absolves them from accepting the rules which the rest of us have to abide by:
As inane as this video is, it underscores the audacity and entitlement that some feel that their religion should grant them.
If you own a secular business, you should have to abide by the same rules that others who own secular businesses should.
And if your church owns a business which rents out events which may not necessarily be religious in nature, then you should abide by the same rules that other rental properties should, specifically if you are receiving tax breaks on said property.
If not, where does one draw the line with this? I know of churches who own rental properties where people live. Is is right for the church to deny someone the right to rent their property if said person is lgbtq or a part of another religion?
And I won't even talk about the little blip about public schools.
It's truly sad when some folks' religious beliefs blind them to the simple fact that they are not the only people existing in this world.

Prevarication at it's most perverse form. I wouldn't worry though in a few months DOMA will go the way of DADT.
What about the little snide comment about performing "real" marriages?
OMG That's one of the most ridiculous things I've seen yet. How out of touch with reality can you get and somehow still manage to stay out of the looney bin. Do they really think people are stupid enough to do anything other than mock them for that. It's like watching a parody.
