I don't actually.

I have a moral objection, but I am only responsible for my own salvation. This is why I don't preach at people about religion or God. They have to find him on their own. But none of this matters because it's my personal opinion.

Public services have no choice to who and how they preform. I do think private people and business should always have the right to serve or refuse service. When it infringes on their own freedom. This is why I want a small government.... The smaller the government the bigger our freedom becomes. And the bigger the gov gets the less and less we are free.

The fact is that you don't worry how many people will suffer because you know that you are safe in the majority.

Look at the people who follow Glenn Beck and believe that every Muslim is a violent woman beater.  Muslims would suffer extreme levels of discrimination at the hands of Beck followers.  

So because your town is anti gay, anti black.... That's your reasoning for the rest of us to suffer our own freedoms because we have to have relentless regulation because YOUR town isnt capable of treating people correctly?

You are not having your freedom removed in any way.  Under the law everyone gets treated exactly the same way.  Atheist and/or homosexuals cannot discriminate against Christians and Christians can not discriminate against atheist and/or homosexuals.

But to answer your question, yes, the law has to be the same everywhere.  There are no parts of the country that would be free from discrimination.  There are no "perfect" towns or states.

This Supreme Court decision just reduced the amount of Government regulation and increased freedom.

Amazing how the right-wing echo chamber has convinced you of the opposite.

Perfect would be no marrige license at all for anyone. Let us marry who we want to marry. Don't force anyone to participate. Just make it contracts.

Gov adding more to their list is not less regulation.

The gov doing more of most anything is a bad thing.

So if the government removes bans on child labor, that's MORE regulation?

Exactly.  The more regulations the government removes the more freedoms we lose.

Perfect Lucy logic.  That si why he is so against removing any current regulations.

Removing is not more.

Child labour is more of an issue for rural areas and family business.

Where it is an issue for is irrelevant. Removing government bans on child labor is "less". I am glad we agree. Likewise, removing government bans on gay marriage is "less".
