Racist bigots tried to use the same exact bible that anti gay bigots use. Why allow one group to be discriminated against and not the other?Because 3,000 years of Judeo-Christian teachings and tradition do not stipulate that being Black constitutes wicked, sinful sexual deviancy and perversion?Actually, they aren't .... the government is interfering in the practice of religion. It is determining that some religious practices are acceptable and some are not.The questions above by Spare are immaterial to the discussion.
It's no more difficult than that.
The Supreme Court has already said you can't use the bible to discriminate against blacks. Why should anti gay bigots get special rights that racist bigots do not?
You live in a Secularized Christian Nation, wherein +70% of the population identify with such religious beliefs, and where another +10% have such cultural roots.
Those 3,000 years of teaching and tradition are alive and well and will ultimately right the ship of state in this context.
