Protecting the LGBTQIA community from discrimination is a great thing. About damn time, in fact.
"But my religious freedoms!" we're hearing.
They still exist. This is just stopping you enforcing your faith on other people.

You know, infringing on THEIR religious freedoms.
You know who else complained about losing their religious freedoms?
White people, when black people were protected from discrimination.
Men, when women were protected from discrimination.

It sounds like your religion is built around telling other people what they can and can't do.
Rather than telling you how to live your own damn life.

Unless the government is forcing you to be gay, or trans, your religious freedom isn't being impinged upon. If you're upset that you can't fire someone for coming out trans, or that you can't refuse to employ someone because they're gay...
You don't care two shits about religious freedom. You care that you can't enforce your faith's values on other people.
You want to be allowed to be openly homophobic, or transphobic, or racist, or sexist.

Fuck that.
You have the right to follow your faith, as it applies to you. Not as it applies to anyone else who doesn't want to be beholden to it.
If you can enforce your faith's values on others?
Then they're allowed to enforce their faith's values on you.
Pick one.
