But you can't promote two exclusive beliefs at the same time.
You value the freedom to discriminate MORE than treating all people equally or treating them with respect and dignity.
I value treating all people equally with respect and dignity MORE than giving a person the "freedom" to do something I see as wrong i.e. discriminate against a person solely based on race, religion, or sex.
And history has pretty much proven what happens when people are given the "freedom" to discriminate against minorities. It never works out well for the minorities.
I think too many mean, greedy, racists, selfish people use "freedom" as an excuse to hide behind. Because no one is getting any special privileges. The only thing the law does is make everyone be treated the same. What kind of person can really disagree with this?
