As deplorable as I find Manny to be, we can hardly claim some sort of moral high ground, if we as a community practice the very thing we accuse the religious right of; an that's not providing goods and service's to someone because we don't like their way of thinking.
If we want to be treated equally, then we should also insist that rule applies to all or as a community we don't have a moral leg to stand on.
