On the knifes edge

Today, this is just the way it is:

• A gay business owner cannot refuse to hire a person on the basis of their religious belief.
• A religious business owner can legally refuse to hire a person because they are gay or lesbian.
• A gay property owner cannot refuse to rent to a family based on their religious beliefs.
• A religious property owner can refuse to rent to a family because they are lesbian or gay.

Now, try telling me again how religion and religious freedom is supposedly "under attack" by "powerful" gays and lesbians in Washington State. With so many lesbians and gays of faith in Washington State, that hardly seems likely or in their own self interest, does it?

The Anderson-Murray Anti-Discrimination Bill (HB2661) comes to the floor of the Washington state senate for a vote today between 10:00am and 12:00pm.

Will today mark a miniscule movement towards fairness and equality, or a continuation of the decades long darkness for GLBT people in Washington?
