No they are not at all.
The people boycotting NC are not against any religious beliefs. They are against DISCRIMINATION based on religious beliefs.
They have never boycotted any group of religious people until those people started discriminating based on their religious beliefs.
Shocking that so many people make this same mistake.

They are boycotting because of this law which you and many others have stated was enacted because of religious beliefs. Ergo they are boycotting because of the religious beliefs of those who passed this law. Ergo they are guilty of the same thing.

Soooooooo now you admit they're discriminating against people's religious beliefs after just they weren't?
In any event, if discriminating against people based on religious beliefs is wrong then it's ALWAYS wrong. I'm pretty sure all the civil rights laws don't have an exception that says "unless that group started it. "

Are you telling me that ******* liberals aren't straight? Ha, that'd be a bit of a schoolyard insult!

They are boycotting discrimination regardless of its inspiration. Discrimination attributed to deity doesn't suddenly become sacred as some people want it to be. Additionally, if people want their religion to be respected and celebrated they should probably stop using it to justify actions and beliefs the American populace is finding less and less acceptable.
Maybe some of the protesters are doing so because they hate religion, but I know I personally am intolerant of intolerance whether you tell me you're doing it for Jesus, Mohammad, or because your neighbor's dog told you to do it.

I'm not trying to justify discrimination based upon religious belief, I'm pointing out the hypocrisy of those discriminating and justifying discrimination because of religious belief regardless of who started it.

Fairly sure Brazil passed the US in plastic surgery. It was a big deal when I was down there.
