Sure, starting with the necessity to find an alternate provider. But if you're hiring somebody to do a job your way, and they say "We're special. We'll only do it our way," in violation of all kinds of anti-discrimination laws and policies, you can't let it slide.

It seems they're not letting it slide?

Also, I might cut off my nose to spite my face, but I wouldn't cancel my face's eat, breathe, see, and talk contracts just because it's not fulfilling the smell contract the way I want.

There is an easy test to see whether the "no-gay" restriction is constitutional.

Replace "same-sex couples" with "black couples" and see what comes out.

You are presuming that dumping this particular agency would be catastrophic. But the Catholic group is apparently one of many who have contracts to provide such services. Their work could be transferred to the other providers. You could also take them out of the adoption/foster business, but allow them to provide other non-discriminatory services with a suitable adjustment in their payments. Your analogy is silly.

That's an interesting comparison. But here's the M. Night Shaymalan twist: Barret has been attacked from the left because she adopted black children. There is, in fact, a component of the left which opposes interracial adoptions.

I like the Rule 34 phrasing of that.

You don't get it.
But that's to be expected, because neither do any of the Republicans on the SC, or they would never have picked up the case.
