“Yes. Human rights are very important. Religious freedoms shouldn’t trump human rights. We’ve had trouble in the past when religious fanatics took away human rights. Just look at the Holocaust. We need to rein in religious beliefs when they infringe on human rights.”

“Morally, they should provide the service. But they shouldn’t be forced to by law. They should be able to make their own choice. They shouldn’t have to go against their personal beliefs. But I would hope they would provide the service out of [their] good character.”

Elizabeth Walker
clothing designer | Fishtown
“Yes. I’m a strong believer in the separation of church and state. A business shouldn’t be able to discriminate, period. Any goods and services that are advertised should be available to the entire public. I don’t understand why anyone would want to discriminate. Money is money.”
