What exactly does someone who observes traditional marriage need protection FROM?The government, apparantly
Traditional marriage is not "under attack".
Nobody has proposed banning traditional marriage.

So, in the OP, people who observe traditional marriage might be called a protected group.
According to the Civil Rights Act, Americans are "protected" from certain types of discrimination based on characteristics. The protected group is "American".
Actually, if everyone is protected who currently resides in the jurisdiction of the United States, there are no protected classes.
If you look at the religious freedom bill, it formalizes marriage. Its not that we have a different view.I guess we have a fundamentally different view, I don't understand what you mean or how the OP intimates that somehow traditional marriage requires protection from the government, there is literally nothing threatening it.

Actually, if everyone is protected who currently resides in the jurisdiction of the United States, there are no protected classes.Everyone has a "race" everyone has an "age" everyone has a "sex" and most people have some sort of "creed".You can still discriminate based on OTHER qualifications (no shirt, no shoes).If the law protects everyone from hate and exclusion (based on their raceagesexcreed), then only the hateful and prejudiced will be punished by the law.

The OP references a "religious freedom" bill that specifically formalizes marriage. I clearly did not state that a union of any sort needs protection from the government.
According to the Civil Rights Act, Americans are "protected" from certain types of discrimination based on characteristics. The protected group is "American".Ok?Is this difficult for you to grasp? You literally asked for a distinction. This is part of the distinction.
You can still discriminate based on OTHER qualifications (no shirt, no shoes).If the law protects everyone from hate and exclusion (based on their raceagesexcreed), then only the hateful and prejudiced will be punished by the law.Whether that is the case or not, your judgement of character is not the basis for civil rights law. The Civil Rights Act is not justified by hate.
The Civil Rights Act is not justified by hate.
I bet they've got great kool-aid.It is too complicated for a simple answer. I suggest studying it with guidance from The Church.
That's what I'm saying...Better than the kool-aid you are drinking.
