"...anti-discrimination lawsuit? I don't recall speaking to this. But I think he would win if he were sued by a woman. I think he should lose if sued by a gay, but a jury might not feel that way. He'd better hope I'm not on the jury." You distinguish the two how? Other than you are just pro-anything gay...because its cool to be pro-anything gay? "Well, there's the rub." Ah...I mean oooh...or uh, I mean hmmmm....oh never mind.

But I think he would win if he were sued by a woman. I think he should lose if sued by a gay Why a different result or different desired result for the two categories? Well, there's the rub. What would the exemption look like? We hereby exempt all personal service providers whose service involves touching and who can show a strong and firmly held conviction that touching, when that touch could theoretically result in the arousal of the client, is morally repugnant. How's that? Crafted nice and tight and on point. More generally you could make an exception for personal service providers who's service requires touching but who are not considered medical personnel. Of course we get into trouble, as I have pointed out repeatedly, with the specific criteria by which he would screen clients. Yes, you can't always tell from casual interaction if someone you are dealing with is gay. Or straight for that matter. Recently someone I met thought I was gay. I suppose if he was the masseur he wouldn't take my business. Tim
