You are suppose to give them the benefit of the doubt and ask them to prove their hypothesis.

I believe he is suggesting in the mainstream not some minority Authors. I doubt many of the books on the times best seller list overtly encourage discrimination.

Do you really think that if someone wrote a fiction book today, with the same content and messages that are present in religious texts, that they would be allowed?

I'm all for allowing people to believe whatever they want, but I'm not up for allowing bigoted views and the preaching of these views being protected because it's 'religious'.
As for these specific sellers, they're bigoted idiots.

Originally posted by d000hg View PostHumans don't work on pure logic though. Nostalgia and illogical sentimentality are part of who we are. To switch it around, it's actually quite common that sellers will perhaps choose a buyer (if there are multiple offers) based on who they like best, or to give a new family a house they will love, even if it's not quite the highest offer. We just sold our first ever home and preferred a charity who would use it to home veterans (or something like that) even though they couldn't quite match a higher option from some professional landlord.
Legally or morally? Where do you find this judgement?
Both actually. I see sexuality to frequently be biological based so its not a moral issue and legally if proven it would be discrimination.
