39. I think you can force

a public service agency to follow the rules of civil society. No one forced them to form an agency that discriminates against fellow citizens. They can have their own beliefs, they just can't exclude other people and decide their rights based on their own personal beliefs. If you don't want to do that, don't enter into those areas. This is no different than the segregated South.

I am appalled that it was a 9-0 decision. Systematic exclusion of those who are different, and this is just one more brick.

We should make churches pay their fair share.
