Gives the legal right for people to refuse to serve or service LGBT people, like weddings, funerals, boy scouts, whatever.
Nothing to do with religion, everything to do with discrimination.
So what else is new in Mississippi? same ole same ole.

Oh, wait, we went through this once.
This isn't "religious freedom", and I resent them trying to make this have anything at all to do with religion. It is "discrimination freedom". Trying to make it "okay" to be a bigot.

Originally posted by sonhouseYou are discriminating against people exercising their moral and religious beliefs if you do not allow them to exercise their consciences in harmony with those religious beliefs. No one should be compelled to act against the dictates of conscience.

Originally posted by JS357Christians should not be discriminated against nor compelled to act against their beliefs nor the the dictates of their conscience. If people who practice homosexuality want to get married then they are free to find someone to do so. Provision should simply be made to allow those who do not wish to provide goods or services which transgress their religious beliefs and conscience to do so without fear of prosecution. So no I don't see how this can't and doesn't work in a heterogeneous society.

Hint: this is a yes or no answer.
