Majority of Americans support gay rights over religious freedom bills

In a free society that claims to have a marketplace of ideas, small businesspersons should be able to do business with whom they will, for that matter without having to give a reason for their choices. Of course this is modified for larger firms and those holding monopolies over critical goods; a power company can't refuse to supply electricity to a gay household because of a boss's whim. But in general I don't like either of these two fashionable trends at law: neither homosexuality nor religious credo should be granted special protection under law other than relief from direct persecution.

I also do not like "either of these two fashionable trends at law".  I wonder though....if it is not inevitable.  Here is something that I have been thinking about.  Humanity is a thing or being.  It is a being with a collective intellect.  That collective intellect isn't static.  It is growing and getting smarter.....it is improving. Its improving because as individuals we have become so much better connected.  

If individuals who make up the collective intellect of a humanity being are analogous to neurons of a biological brain, then I am witnessing a brain wiring itself up from the inside.  As that brain wires itself up, it is going to become smarter and more aware, and more assertive.  Individual freedom and choice human beings have enjoyed is going to fade as this humanity being begins to assert its ability to make choices.
