Since when does the government force club organizations to alter their practices? There are many clubs that discriminate. Religions 'discriminate'. The LDS religion already does so by means of the baptism interview and the temple recommend processes. Last I knew, it was perfectly legal for clubs and religious organizations to freely choose to whom they would extend membership, privileges, and services/rituals. And, if I understand my Bill of Rights correctly, the government _cannot_ interfere with such 'discrimination' if it is within the context of practicing a religion (so long as it does not extend to acts of persecution).
Just because the state issues a license to practice a service does not mean that the practitioner must provide the service to whomever requests it. Judges turn down cases all the time. There are few licenses that explicitly revoke from the licensee the option to refuse service. (Medical licenses are one example of a type that does.) Would a priest be required to marry a rabbi if requested? Vice versa? -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
