It is not that you are saying a promiscuous person would be a poor employee, but that you can discriminate against them arbitrarily which concerns me.

Christine, this job discrimination thing is just a smokescreen, and you know it, and I know it. You know that I've said many times that I believe it is wrong to wish ill fortune on anyone. That would include depriving homosexuals the right or ability to work, from which comes money, job satisfaction, etc., and the other benefits of a free society.

The whole thing about hiring someone for work "in the home" came from my statement that I MAY discriminate in that situation from a legal standpoint. This was to show that the law recognizes the sanctity of a person's personal home in a big way. And by extension, it follows that the law recognizes that we are actually free about whom we form personal relationships with. I don't have to admit ANYONE into my home that I don't feel like admitting.

This was ALL because I immensely disliked to be treated in a patronizing way. It has been implied from the start, and even you have said it several times, that if I even believe in my mind that homosexuality or homosexual acts are wrong, then automatically I am discriminating.

That's wrong, and you know it, and I don't like being patronized by efforts to convince me that I am harming people by simply believing something is not a good thing. I can call it sin. Sin is a religious term, and for those who aren't religious, why would they be concerned with what term I use to describe something I disapprove of?

It's incredible that so many people have so easily capitulated to the politically correct dogma that nobody has any right to have moral beliefs of any kind anymore which may connotate "disapproval", and if they hold such beliefs, why, they're obviously bigots and hate-mongers.

It's this kind of gratuitous nonsense that really lights my fire. That people even dare to put out such nonsense is intellectually insulting just for starters.
