I can't off the top of my head think of a better reason for "we like everyone to have a uniform appearance" than I can for "we like potential adoptive parents to fit the socially conventional model of a family"
Speaking as a queer, recently Christian, agnostic atheist, I didn't have any more choice about believing in God than I do about fancying all genders. If anything choosing not to do what I thought God wanted me to do would be harder than choosing not to do what I wanted to do, no matter how hot girls are.
In the French case, the rule makers explicitly wanted a secular system, for what at they consider good reasons
Well yes, and people wanted segregation and prop 8 and to prevent women's sufferage for what they considered good reasons.
Should we give them a platform for their views too?
