"Let me ask you this? Let's say this guy didn't want to be a masseur but an emergency medical technician or an ER doctor and he refused to work on women and gays? Or a priest or social worker who wouldn't counsel gays? What would you think of that?

Again you are skirting the issue. It isn't that he is averse to performing his work. In fact, what I laid out for you is that he is successful, likes his profession, good at what he does, not suffering from lack of clientele...all in all a successful professional. He has no reason to find his work unsuitable. You don't find him suitable. YOU don't want him being a masseur, until your conscience is warmed...and so you want him to leave the profession.

I still have not seen justification as to why YOU do not think he is suitable for the work he has chosen, is good at, likes, and is successful at.

Far different that a person who hates the thought of killing animals for food, being forced to work at a slaughter house.

The alternatives you offer are not analogous. They are simply other situations.

"What would you think of that?"

I think they are each worthy of discussion as separate situations and that we would probably agree on an outlook for most of these OTHER situations. Maybe not, what are your opinions about each; I will let you know if I disagree.
