Religion doesn't confer right to discriminate

There are two bills -- HR 3685 and 3686, before the House of Representatives which seek to give gays, lesbians, bisexuals and the transgendered protection from discrimination in the workplace. Naturally, President Bush indicated that he'll veto the bills.


A statement from the administration (on 3685) indicates that his main issue with the bill is that it "is inconsistent with the right to the free exercise of religion as codified by Congress in the Religious Freedom Restoration Act."


So, being a Christian means you get to deny people jobs based on what goes on in their pants when they're not at work?
