Which begs the question, why not?


Implicit proposition: You can NEVER choose to be gay. Just like you can't choose to be a woman or a minority.

That gets to the heart of the legal issue. Do you agree or disagree?

I happen agree with the implicit proposition, although I don't think that can be proven one way or the other.

So the legal issue is about whether or not the person freely chose whatever it is about them that gives offense? In other words, I can discriminte against an indiviual provided they chose to be whatever it is about them that I find offensive?

This, however, is becoming less true, which could lead to some interesting things going forward.

What happens when we can choose what gender to be? Is it okay to discriminate then?

But you can't discriminate based off of the other person's religion which is a choice.
