This makes sense
A bus driver in Minnesota is being allowed to refuse to drive any bus that has a gay advertisement on the side.
When will this foolishness stop? I wonder if she would object to driving a bus with a Sunday night football ad (Remember the Sabbath!), or a condom ad.
If she plays her cards right, she could avoid driving any bus.
This movement of religion to view any message that conflicts with thier faith as an assault on thier faith is troublesome and tiresome. Her job is to drive a bus - she's not a spokersperson for the ads on the side.
Can she now refuse to drive a bus if there's a gay couple on it? Or will that be against her religion too?

I must have missed the commandment "Thou shalt not drive a bus with a gay ad on the side."
We're constantly told by the religious right that having religion in the public square doesn't hinder our right to not practice religion. It's time they apply the same standard to themselves.
