I agree that, as stated, there is no discrimination based on the mere fact of being female or homosexual, but that it is founded on scruples about occasions of arousal. The effect, however, is discriminatory, and therefore requires active exemption, I suppose.

I agree that the discrimination is not particularly harmful, insofar as not many would invoke a right to the exemption, and, in any case, why should it matter if massage is freed of all potential sexual charge?

"The exemption would allow them to operate according to conscience, and not be subject to discrimination laws"

People are never allowed to commit offences against others on the basis of freedom of conscience. You are out to lunch!
