Even if it's just hearsay, can you tell me what you fear they might be? I hear
things like the right to marry which is a pursuit of equality, not a special
benefit.

I wouldn't fear such a lawsuit. I think it would be hard to penalize someone
for what we are describing in our current judicial system.

Well, I agree. And I support the right of churches to deny membership to
anyone for any reason...so long as they are strictly non-public organizations.
If they take tax exemption as a religious organization then they OWE the
public equality. Like the boyscouts, if they want to be exclusionary, they
need to do so on their own dime.

I don't feel forced. And I would point out, as has been suggested several
times already, the lack of such a gene is similarly "only a theory." But you
seem to have decided that one theory is right and one is wrong.

It won't ever be proven. Or did you know that?
