I'm not. I think conservative Christians are wrong, but I don't think it's right to turn them into second-class citizens. Rights buy us nothing if they apply only to people we approve of.In Canada it is simple --- the government will not legitimize much less fund discrimination, hate or the removal of rights. I am very comfortable with that.
However the jobs application mentioned above require the applicant to acknowledge the following:
• Both the job* and my organization's core mandate* respect individual human rights in Canada, including the values underlying the Canadian Charter
of Rights and Freedoms as well as other rights. These include reproductive rights and the right to be free from discrimination on the basis of sex,
religion, race, national or ethnic origin, colour, mental or physical disability or sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression;
This says nothing about the person's political views. It simply warns them that these types of discrimination will not be permitted on the job. I think that's OK, and it might be OK even in the US (though not politically possible under a Republican administration).
