To tell the truth, I'm guessing, based on this and that. It seems really awfully minimal to have a rule that says people can't be fired (or not hired) based simply on "gay behavior." Most major companies do have rules protecting gay people from that sort of discrimination (a lawyer friend informs me), and thereJean Kazezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00592593002719828153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-4142732961712706652009-04-20T15:16:00.000-05:002009-04-20T15:16:00.000-05:00Yes, part of my thought was that in all the hair s...Yes, part of my thought was that in all the hair splitting, the real points are sometimes lost. My experience is that at least some (gotta qualify these things) of those supporting the 4-5 church-related schools do argue that it's an open issue, and I think most are sincere. <br /><br />I suspect (on the basis on little evidence) that most non-philosophers, who are so worried about fine epistemicChris Swoyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330902701534223030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8310450667755637519.post-51786553041829030212009-04-20T14:58:00.000-05:002009-04-20T14:58:00.000-05:00Hi Chris, I wonder if there's something a bit dev...Hi Chris, I wonder if there's something a bit devious about all this act/orientation hair-splitting. If you just wanted religious differences to be respected, why wouldn't you demand an exemption for Christian colleges from the APA's policy on discrimination?
