When is a movie theater not a movie theater? When is a flea market not a flea market? When does Confederate slave-ownership law show up in contemporary United States law? When does a group get special protection against discrimination – that special protection being the right to discriminate? The answer is when superstition gets enfranchised into law. Rather than following the Constitution of the United States (or, perhaps, common sense), United States lawmakers sometimes make laws that establish a State religion. This superstition is honored, that superstition is not. It is better, far better, far easier, far more fair, that government keep out of the superstition business.
