Yes, thank you for clarifying that.
It seems logical to think I already knew that when I claimed that these religions have a religious basis for their homophobia.
People are free to believe whatever Religion they want to. You have not got the right to force them to bake a cake for you just because you don't like their opinion on Homosexuality and homosexuals and where they might end up if they deal with such people. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
People are not free to believe whatever they want in terms of religion. I am not free to believe in human sacrifice and go around killing people for god. That would be murder even if I held sincere religious beliefs about human sacrifice.
We also do not allow honour killings, for example.
Nor do we allow people to refuse service to blacks if they happen to have sincere religious beliefs about not associating with black people.
So, yes, we do place limits on religious freedom. Specifically, we do so when it can be shown that allowing this religious liberty impedes others in the free practice of their rights.
This seems to be the case here.
You have the right to choose to use alternative services.
Yes, but that does not mean that the vendor has the right to discriminate against you.
Political correctness is pure evil.
If you feel that being respectful to others whatever their race, religion, socio-economic background, sexual orientation, gender identity, etc. is pure evil, feel free.
I was taught it was simply polite.
