To Clarify for the "Irishman"

Have definitely seen evidence that the "Irishman" wants me to cave in to what I've called the negative, or the conservative, Christians.  My hometown, where the Irishman used to live, is also mainly conservative.  But I can make a positive connection between the early Christians who prayed in the police project and myself....  People didn't recruit me in order to put down gay issues...!  Will say that I don't plan to cave in and it's the conservative Christians who will need to improve their views....

In churches like mine, they can ban the performance of gay marriage within the church, but they shouldn't forbid or disapprove of it OUTSIDE the church, in my opinion....  And where simple sales transactions are concerned, like wedding cakes or flowers, I don't believe Christians should refuse the sales....  Some other services, like wedding photography or family counselling, are more complicated....

My work hasn't been mainly religious, I wouldn't say, but it's been more political...?  I'm not a lawyer and I might not always know how to explain...but I'm doing my best....

The "pro-gay" side which is supporting the police project now probably doesn't want to hear a lot about religious views but I believe it's necessary to work through our remaining problems--so that conservative Christians don't continue to condemn gays and gay marriage in society....

Is the Irishman going to continue to fight me and expect me to go along with him???  Will his superiors allow him?  We'll have to work on things....  Maybe the superiors want to be gracious towards the Irishman and allow him to make up his own mind...since he's helped them a lot earlier?  Will try to make my writing as clear and concise as possible...!--Or at least to clarify in between, if there's going to be anything else that's complicated...?

P.S.  Maybe it's a question of judgment for the Christians...?  They're entitled to have their own standards...but they shouldn't judge other people who aren't part of the group...!  The Bible says we shouldn't judge others....  That's how I see it.
