I don't see this as a Church vs. State issue. IMO it doesn't matter much the reason behind the practice of discrimination. If you are a counselor at a public university, you don't get to pick and choose who you counsel based on your own feelings. You shouldn't be able to shirk a gay person counsel, an asian person counsel, or a Christian person counsel. If you aren't up for that, then you need to find a different vocation.

I can get six people and create a religion with any dogma to justify any behavior. But it's action, not motivation that matters. That's why 'hate crimes' are absurd. Laws should govern behavior, not intention.
