Frank J. wonders
(among other things):

Jonah Goldberg ponders
the recent uproar about Arizona's failed effort to
legalize a business's (theoretical) refusal to do business with a
customer for religious reasons. (Which got translated in most media
to "anti-gay".)
Future historians will likely be flummoxed by the moment we’re living in. In what amounts to less than a blink of an eye in the history of Western civilization, homosexuality has gone from a diagnosed mental disorder to something to be celebrated — or else.
Indeed, the rush to mandatory celebration is so intense, refusal is now considered tantamount to a crime. And, in some rare instances, an actual crime if the right constable or bureaucrat concludes that you have uttered “hate speech.”
"Progressives" used to whine about religious types "imposing their morality" on others. Now the shoe's on the other foot.

lower turnover and improve productivity."
