Since the first link was removed, I'll try it again in a less-biased fashion (since I can't decipher other reasons for it's removal).
With the many, many servicemembers and veterans who live and work in Georgia, our gay members of the military as well as those not serving would potentially face continued harassment and unfair isolation outside the gates of the many military installations we have here. Those on the other side of the issue claim that their religious liberties would be at stake and thus should not be forced to "participate" in the support of our LGBT members. Though I personally do not agree with the issue siding for the passage of this bill, I can understand the great amount of support people have concerning their religious rights. However, where do we draw the line concerning what many call a form of "legal discrimination" in the name of fairness?

"Religious Liberty" is just another way of Hiding Bigotry behind Religion. So Much for Christian Love. I think Christ is Highly Disappointed in this Shit!

Would only be fair if the law were to be applied to all religions. I'm personally against religious liberty when it comes to business (in forms of discrimination of course).

Tell that to the Pizza Owner who answered a question saying he would not participate in a gay marriage. His life was threatens. Thousand of protesters mobbed his restaurant. Tried to ruin him. And the bakers who did not want to participate in a gay marriage and had to pay a fine of 135,000 for pain and suffering. And I read that one person was ordered to go to a re education camp. Until last he changed his belief.

Actually, TSgt Kenneth Ellis, the bakers in question were ordered to pay for posting the home address and phone number of the gay couple who made the complaint online. THAT is where the money for damages came from.
