Well, it gets worse. Now healthcare providers are getting into the discrimination act. Link is a video.

You may not 'like' lesbians, but what did the fucking kid do to you?

Sadly, this is the type of immoral behavior to be expected of theists when ignorant, theocratic laws are passed.

It's out of control now. The pizza was one thing but this is beyond the pale. This really shows how destructive discrimination is and why it cannot be tolerated.

What friggin bullshit.
What if a mother brings a kid in? Must they be interrogated before treatment can continue?
Utter complete wankers. Any theist want to step up and condemn discrimination? It would make my day.

To be fair, the baby wasn't sick when she was taken to the pediatrician, so this isn't as horrible as this could have been. That said, I must ask: what the fuck? Even if we do accept your irrational prejudice against gay people as valid and your relgion being against treating gay people (and that's a MASSIVE if on both counts), it's not the baby's fault she was born to two women. There's a 96.2% chance she'll end up straight, and, odds are, even if she does turn out to be gay, by the time she figures that out, she'll be too old for a pediatrician anyway.
Overall, a very stupid and bigoted decision, although not as horrible as I feared.

What's horrible is the precedent this sets. When this insane bigotry rears its ugly head in the realm of health care, that has to be a red flag for any sane person. This idiocy has to be squashed before it gets worse.

Where's Heywood to call us progressitards for insisting this doctor be required to not discriminate her patients?
I can already hear his "gotcha" counter proposal. Isn't she age discriminating against older patients? Are gynecologists discriminating against men?
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
