The good news, though, is that there has been huge upset at thier stance and the professional organization instituted an anti-discrimination clause.

And to be honest, I don't believe their claims about $40,000 in new business. But I am sure they do get plenty of support for their views- bigotry is in right now.

So the wife said: It was never a judgmental choice or a hating choice or even a choice that said, 'Well, we're better than them.'

Yes. It. Was.

That's exactly the message these people send and it often makes me wish that they could go just a week hearing it as many times as we do, both subtly and overtly.
