Takei and the rest of SB 1062’s hysterical opponents should be more honest and say explicitly they want to force Christians to violate their religious beliefs.
Via Newsbusters:
Appearing as a guest on The Last Word w/ Lawrence O’Donnell on Monday night, Takei expressed his outrage with the Arizona bill and proclaimed that not only is Arizona’s SB 1062 “not a religious freedom bill at all” he shrieked that “religious freedom is just a cloak for prejudice.”
Takei continued his rant against the Arizona bill by pushing the liberal line that “They’re trying to write their prejudice into civil law… But it’s these right-wing religious extremists that seem to dominate in the legislature.” Nowhere in the segment did Takei bother explaining why he thought a private business should be forced to provide services for a gay wedding if it violated his/her religious conscience and instead attacked religious freedom as an excuse for prejudice.
