Yes, because requiring businesses to treat everyone equally is a horrible burden that must be reversed! Making me treat people with respect is a violation of my God-given right to discriminate! Seriously, this is just so much garbage. I’d be curious how he thinks being forced to treat people equally under the law as a business violates his “religious, pro-life” views. Normally, religion doesn’t come up a lot in the workplace.

He also points out that “Title VII flatly prohibits discrimination in employment on the basis of race, color, and national origin”, and that should be plenty. So, that’s pretty anti-LGBTQ+, and he also goes on to “eliminate racial classifications” and prohibit any “critical race theory trainings.” So, if not discriminating being the law should be enough, but you don’t teach people how to guard against discrimination, and you still allow discrimination against people for non-racial intersections, what’s the end result? Discrimination.
