Guns kill people. His sexuality has no bearing on his competence whatsoever. These things are so different they can't even be called a false equivalence.

Huh, that’s not even slightly equivalent.

A week after Dobbs, my (white, male, cis, straight) IT guy asked me something and I wasn’t listening b/c I was reading about the J6 hearings. He said he doesn’t pay attention that stuff. I said, you don’t pay attention to politics? He said no, because it doesn’t really affect him and he likes to be able to sleep at…

You shouldn’t be able to run a for-profit business of any type, except for a sole proprietorship (meaning there is no legal distinction between you and the business) and claim a religious exemption from generally applicable employer requirements, period.
