9th Circuit sides with religious group that rescinded job offer over worker's same-sex spouse

1. The legal issue, to my mind, is not about how they treat her so much as

How they treat her differently from others.

I can't speak for the church, but I'm guessing they buy a basic tenet of Christianity, which is that all are sinners. Everyone.

So in rescinding the job offer for her, they'll offer it to someone else. Just trading one sin for another. Maybe a different one or one they can't immediately identify, but some sin regardless. Hell, probably many sins. No one's perfect.

In other words, calling her a sinner isn't nearly enough. They have to come up with a compelling rationale as to why someone with different or more concealed sins is more appropriate for the job.

IMHO, such christian organizations single out lgbtq "sins" as uniquely evil, justifying vastly more cruelty and condemnation than any other sin. These people will forgive murderers who "discovered Christ" in prison but their religion of forgiveness will never give them for loving the consenting adult of their choice.
