Abstract
Even if the racism analogy is morally sound, that conclusion cannot support the withholding of all accommodation. It is actually several different analogies. One might be comparing their effects, their moral errors, the evil intentions of those who hold them, or their status as views that are appropriately stigmatized. There are important differences. Religious heterosexism is generally nonviolent. And unlike in 1964, when the Civil Rights Act was passed, religious claims can be accommodated without defeating the point of the law. Establishing a legitimate place for dissenters, in a gay-friendly legal regime, would actually be helpful in addressing some of the most pressing contemporary gay rights issues, notably youth homelessness.
即使种族主义类比在道德上是合理的,这个结论也不能支持拒绝所有的迁就。实际上有几个不同的类比。人们可能会比较它们的影响,它们的道德错误,持有它们的人的邪恶意图,或者它们作为被适当污名化的观点的地位。它们之间有重要的区别。宗教异性恋通常是非暴力的。与1964年《民权法案》(Civil Rights Act)通过时不同的是,宗教主张可以在不违背法律宗旨的情况下得到满足。在一个对同性恋友好的法律制度下,为持不同政见者建立一个合法的地位,实际上会有助于解决一些最紧迫的当代同性恋权利问题,尤其是年轻人无家可归。
