Refusing someone service on religious or cultural grounds is not human rights. It's denying other people service.

well, you could argue that there IS a human right to do so, BUT modern societys decide on not denying services to anyone because that would make everything way to complicated and dysfunctional. 

the pope is just to stupid to understand how the world would look if everyone would be as bad people as those "christians".

you need a new liver? well bad luck catholic, the bieliver controll the organ market in this area...

 

 

I believe denying people for the person's they are is a human rights violation. Ethics above Law, Law before Religion/Culture.

i would say this is a point where ethics arent that clear, i belief this comes down to the golden rule, and well the golden rule isnt that straight forward as many would guess, it would be totaly fine with the golden rule if she is fine with gay persons not servicing christians(and i guess she is fine with that).

not discriminating against others is the normal interpretation of the golden rule, but its not the right one, there isnt right or wrong in ethics.

i would argue that the normal interpretation is better for society. but even if she doesnt understand why, her interpretations (and the one of the pope) is valid too.
