Yes, glatt, I did see the second sentence you wrote. I quoted and bolded it too. As a clarification, the "you" whose using the service, I read this "you" as my government. I think we are in agreement here.

In a nutshell, what I'm saying is if I'm paying for a service I expect that service to be delivered. In this case, cheapness or religious objections are not an acceptable excuse for the non delivery of the service.

This could be applied to every organization that takes MY/YOUR/OUR Government money. Why is it ok to claim a religious objection to ... do some doggone thing, but still cash the check?

DMV clerk: We don't serve your kind here.

School teacher: Johnny, stand in the corner because your parents aren't married.

Fireman: Let'em burn, it's a foregone conclusion. Why postpone the inevitable?

We would never accept this kind of discrimination by our public servants. It is against the law. Why would we permit this kind of behavior by an office that provides housing placement assistance? Because that office/school/firehouse believes that sexual orientation is a valid criteria for deciding whether or not to provide a public service?

Please, please explain.
