- You mean, you want the government to tell a private employer that he
- MUST hire a homosexual who applies for a job, regardless of the
- employer's feelings. So you DO support telling consenting adults
- what they can do behind closed doors.

- Persuade all you want. But antidiscrimination laws FORCE an
- employer to hire against his moral objections to homosexuality.
