The issue in the aforementioned case had to do with freedom of conscience. Freedom of conscience is not the opposite of disrimination it is wholy enmeshed within the balance of freedoms. Any bigotry or prejudice that denies participation in society has no place. Likewise imposing the will of the group on one's freedom to live according to one's conscience has no place. It is a lovely balance between responsibility for the care of one's fellows and the freedom from oppression by one's fellows that we should seek.

If you have no sense of balance you may crush your fellow citizen under oppressive laws requiring you to compromise your conscience in the service of others, or in the reverse extreme, do as you please without regard for the needs of others.
