Texas attorney general works around gay marriage decision

You are spoiled by being in the majority.  You don't think things through.

Now Texas is trying to expand it to government services.  How would you like to call an ambulance for your dying child and when they show up they tell you they don't help "people like you" because of their religious beliefs.  Or what about the police?  Should they be allowed to just help the people who agree with their religious beliefs?

I can't believe the people of Texas don't see what total insanity this policy is.

I'm not spoiled by being in the majority.  How many cars have broken down in the middle of nowhere with only one shop and the person refused service to a gay person?

You'd be hard pressed to find a major religion that disallows someone to provide service to a gay person.  It almost always involves the ceremony aspect.
