User:Lysander/Gay privilege

An article in The Atlantic says "Being required to serve those we dislike is a painful price to pay for the privilege of running a business; but the pain exclusion inflicts on its victims, and on society, are far worse than the discomfort the faithful may suffer at having to open their businesses to all."

Everyone is worried about how gays are going to feel if someone, because of a religious belief, conscientiously refuses to bake them a wedding cake and they have to go to a competing baker. What about the sex offenders who aren't allowed to live anywhere near a school, child care facility, etc.? What about their feelings of exclusion? What about their exclusion, in many cases, from being allowed to use social media? What about their exclusion, in many cases, from being around their own children? What about their exclusion from most of society, during the incarceration? What about their exclusion from certain countries under the International Megan's Law?

Which is the worse exclusion? But do we hear a lot of voices saying that sex offenders are being subjected to some pretty painful exclusions? Heck no. Lysander (talk) 14:56, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
