Freedom is Important because People are Important

Hello,

I was dismayed to learn that job discrimination based on sexual preference is not only still practiced, but practiced openly to the degree that pledges are issued on the topic. Apparently, such practices are legal in many states. I hope that the backlash against such injustice is resounding and unable to be opposed. The only person who should care about getting into your pants is your lover. Certainly your employer has no rights in that territory.

Discrimination is the LAW in some states.

I never understood why Christians would champion this. Didn't Jesus hang with sluts and thieves and such? This song makes me wonder which Jesus they follow.
