Historically, religion has been an excuse to justify attempts to subordinate groups of people the majority find inferior. The attitude is similar to bullying where one individual, in his/her sense of inferiority tries to dominate another for his/her own ego. Those who are using religion in this way to marginalize the LGBT community are bullying a minority whom they want society to accept as inferior. If they succeed with this all minorities are at risk. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act lists protected classes categorically but only the 7th Circuit has extended the proscription on sex discrimination to the LGBTs. The Supreme Court will need to add that interpretation or, if not, it will need to become a written part of Title VII. With this administration and Congress that will not happen. Only when  the envelop is pushed too far and "religion" is used by Christians to cause physical harm will enough people react to curtail this abuse.
