People have a right to live differently than you do, to have different values that you do, to believe different things that you do. I have a right to be "openly gay" in public, no matter how you feel about it. The only way I am not equal to you is that the law protects you in some situations...

Sure, but I don't care one bit about how you interpret what it says.

Most gay people are no more outwardly gay than straight people are outwardly straight. If straights can be obviously straight in the streets and classrooms, we have every right to do the same.

You're not God, and you're not my pastor or even my friend. So I can't say I care one bit what you have to say. There's a word for people who butt into other people's business and try to lecture them: jerks.

Who I have sex with is not one bit your damn business. And what you think of my relationship should have no impact on my rights under the law.

I have friends whose parents sent them to Christian "conversion therapy" torture camps. They were badly mistreated, and have deep emotional scars from the "therapy." One of them hasn't spoken to his parents in 15 years, and likely never will again, because of what they had done to him.

The discussions that a president has with his advisers related to public policy and the functioning of his administration are not "private things". Google and Facebook are not the government. The First Amendment specifically prevents a government actor from preventing someone from engaging in...

How does a Christian chaplain lead Friday prayers for Muslims? Oh wait, they don't. Because being a chaplain doesn't mean you pretend to be a member of a different religion's clergy. A humanist chaplain would serve the soldiers under his or her care the same way that any humanist clergy does...

Many people who work in the Executive Branch do so at the pleasure of the President, not all of them. However, none of them owe ultimate loyalty to the President. When you take a job like that you swear an oath to the Constitution, not to the President. He can have everyone who walks into the...

Well, this member of the Christian Left thinks all religious faiths should be allowed to have chaplains in the Navy, from humanism to Christianity to Buddhism to Islam, and all points in between.

People who work in the Executive Branch do not work for the president. He is their boss, but they work for the American people. He cannot have them sign a piece of paper that prevents them from reporting on their non-classified work activities to the American people. These "non-disclosure" forms...

Not really. We need to have a certain degree of population growth, but that's just as achievable through immigration as it is through higher birthrates.

A wonderful man who discovered so much about this universe, and lit a path for others to follow. RIP.

I don't see what some people are arguing here. Hating someone for being a Muslim is just as detestable as hating someone for their ethnicity or race.
