... what about religion?
There are Ex-Roman Catholics, Ex-Baptists, Ex-Presbyterians, Ex-Methodists, Ex-Episcopalians, Ex-Lutherans... all have chosen their religion. There are no scientific studies showing that religion is innate and unchanging, while there are such studies regarding sexual orientation.
There are also those who say that discrimination against gay people should be allowed because, unlike race, sexual orientation can be hidden from others. Since a persons religious denomination can also be hidden, should discrimination be tolerated since they can hide their religion from others?
There are laws against discrimination towards a person due to their religion, but these could be called "special rights" since someone could change their religious denomination... if they really wanted to.
Why should discrimination against a person due to their sexual orientation be allowed while discrimination against the individual choice of religion is considered illegal?
