This reminds me of when eHarmony was sued because they didn't have a program for matching gay couples. We now have people with the expectation that they have an absolute right not to be discriminated against by anyone, even if it doesn't pose any real hardship to their lives.
Absolutely. Every single social battle in this country is whittled down to who can peg themselves lower on the social scale. There's no real discussion or attempt at all to understand the opposition, there's just a lawsuit driven race to be seen as the most victimized by the other side. It's pitiful and neither side of a debate like this is at all respectable. That being said, the Christian Right in this country has taken the tactic so far to the extreme on a comprehensive, cohesive scale while being firmly planted in society's drivers seat, it's hard to look at anyone else with as much distaste.
Essentially, if you want special treatment from the government, you don't get to discriminate. It's insane to me that people don't see this as anything more than a playground bitch-fest akin to that of 7-year-olds. It's as if kickball is the game put together for kids at a school for recess and the kid chosen to be a captain refuses to allow the last kid picked onto his team. Then he throws a hissy fit that it's not fair he's being forced to play with that kid. Meanwhile the kid just wants to have the same fun as everyone else and the other kids on the team don't mind, it's just the whiny fool at the top that makes a fuss.
