Majority of Americans support gay rights over religious freedom bills

Do you have any idea how sociopathic you sound when you say things like this? This argument is one of the most immoral justifications for a law I've ever heard: "Oh, this group hasn't suffered enough to be worth protection yet." What that means is that you've quantified injustice in your head, such that the group in question hasn't passed the minimum threshold of discrimination and anguish necessary for your empathy to be engaged to action. It's not an argument that no injustice is happening, just that you are content with the level of injustice currently going on. Your complacency is not an argument.
