 Your understanding of the issues is pretty shallow, and you know nothing of 
*all those* who oppose the decision. _I_ oppose the decision and I am not only 
bisexual, but the furthest damn thing from _any_ kind of collectivist/fascist 
you care to describe.

It is not properly up to you (or any *majority*) to decide for others who will 
benefit from the fruits of their labours. People who own apartment buildings 
or who run businesses work _hard_ for what they have--and as much as I might 
disagree with choices they make in hiring or renting, it is _their_ property 
and I support their right to choose who will benefit. So it won't be me...so 
what?

I do not need, nor do I want, the government to act as my *bully*, coercing 
people to act as though they believe what they do not. Quite frankly, I prefer 
an honest, out-front homophobe to people who claim such certainty about what 
people like me need to survive that they are willing to use the government to 
push people around.

Laws based on the Vriend decision _are_ based _exactly_ on a desire of the 
*politically-correct* to control the actions of those with whom they disagree.

Or, to make this personal--YOU seem _very_ content to control the actions of 
others.
