I am very much opposed to forcing anyone to violate their conscience or their religious beliefs, and of course, I'm very much opposed to discrimination.

Obedience of the law is demanded; not asked as a favor.

I've never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality - period.

The United States cannot and should not discriminate on the basis of religion. The free exercise of religion is at the very heart of our constitutional guarantee for all persons of this country.

Nobody should be treated any type of way because of their color, their race, their gender, their socioeconomic status. We're all human.

So the question is, First, Whether the civil magistrate hath power to force men in things religious to do contrary to their conscience, and if they will not to punish them in their goods, liberties, or lives? this we hold in the negative.

I don't think we should discriminate against an organization or congregation because they're religious, if they're doing good work. But government can't subsidize proselytizing or worship or religious activity. It can't.

Equal protection under the law - for race, religion, gender or sexual orientation - should not be subject to the most popular sentiments of the day.

No individual, regardless of where they live or whom they love, should suffer discrimination.

When you discriminate against anyone, you discriminate against everyone. It's a display of terrible intolerance.
