"My religious practice is impaired by acknowledging the full equality of teh gays and respecting their cons utional rights."

Would this thread it be sexier if I played up a gay wedding cake or a unisex bathroom?

A sports theme?

Maybe a gay bashing le would draw the flies.

[Winehole23]

sports it is

[Winehole23]

because, as everyone knows, nothing is more central to the American religious belief than shunning sexuals and other cultural nonconformists.

does treating an acute injury to a gay make you gay?

[Winehole23]

or is the intention extermination under color of the law?

I am a doctor and have always treated everyone willingly of every race/ethnicity, sex or sexual preference going back to my medical school days when HIV was becoming rampant. Many providers did not want to deal with gays or any HIV patients, but a wise professor taught us it was not only the strictly ethical thing to do but the moral.

Arkansas and Arkansas doctors are about to take a big wet all over those values.

AR General Assembly overrides Hutchinson's veto. It's now legal for Arkansas doctors to refuse to treat transgender patients on religious grounds. People will die, as intended.

Radical Republicans doing radical things

Arkansas isn't alone

seems simple enough to me.

how preposterous is the idea of a man transitioning to female merely to compete with female athletes? wouldn't the disadvantages outweigh?

[MultiTroll]

Whatever.
Still doesn't justify male born to compete in female sports.

But it's non sequitur. It doesn't matter why they transition, they are free to do so for whatever reason. It's the fact that they are still basically men competing against women.
