But it is a fairly good sign

The bill would make it illegal to base hiring, firing and other employment decisions based on someone's sexual orientation or gender identity. It would also make it illegal to refuse to sell or rent, to deny a home loan, or to base other housing decisions because someone is LGBT.
Religious organizations and their affiliates such as schools and hospitals are exempt,

For religious rights, the bill allows for people to express their beliefs in the workplace without retribution as long as they are not harassing someone and the speech doesn't interfere with the company's core business.

For example, if a company offered wedding planning services specifically tailored to same-sex ceremonies, an employee would not be able to express their views opposing against gay marriage

It allows employers to adopt "reasonable dress and grooming standards" and "reasonable rules and polices" for gender-specific restrooms and other facilities, as long as they also accommodate transgender people.

our prop8 supporting religious mormon not-friends

boils down to

1) you cannot be lgbt and lds

2) women in the church know their place and it is not at work (what happened to those protesting exclusion from a conference recently?)

3) in the absence of nepotism, lds is a pre-req for the job

4) everyone is welcome

When I lived there in the 70's the Mormons discriminated against anyone that was non Mormon. It was very difficult to find and apartment or a job.

If you were gay it was better to just find somewhere else to live. If you were black it was better to just go find somewhere else to live. Blacks were considered to be cursed by God.

it's not just that "they stick together" but that their vision of society is one big integrated thing: their brutal conformism and their brilliant method of ending homelessness spring from the same source in some weird way

Most of my friends were Mormon but we never talked religion. It was pointless. Many were really nice people. And then there was the asshole who lived across the street. He was just a plain ole mean mother. I think people are just people. And it's never a good idea to get too many people of the same religion all together in the same place. It always bring out the worst of the worst.

The church produces some of the kindest, sweetest, most honest and decent people ever, who just need some love and acceptance. I feel so sorry for the true believers who are sometimes excommunicated. They totally believe in Joseph Smith and feel condemned by the church.

I'd love to unbrainwash them and set them all free.
