How did we get to locking people up? Follow your religion all you want as long it doesn't affect me.
right, so as long as I don't own any business, you're ok.
Until we decide that I also can't run a school, because my school follows my religion. So as long as I don't own a business or send my kids to school.
In the Soviet Union, they also had religious freedom. Just you weren't allowed to coerce minors into a religion, so as long as you didn't teach anything to your kids, you were perfectly free.
I'll grant there's a tension here between the gay/lesbian desire for equality and people's desire for religious freedom. You want to know why we should win? Because you're the side that is using government coercion. When there's a tension like that, the government shouldn't coerce either side. So the government shouldn't tell people not to be gay, and shouldn't tell religious people that they can't follow their religion if it means that gay people need to walk next door to order their wedding flowers.
