I assume that if someone has a live and let live attitude but does not believe gay ideology is beneficial and does not want gayness forced upon them - that you do not have a problem with their desire to live without forced gay influences?

So, what exactly is a "gay ideology"? Perhaps it is Equality for all under the
CIVIL Law? How is that not beneficial to all? Is it perhaps that you feel that your right to verbally, and physically, harass people for who they date will be in some way curtailed?
As things stand in the US right now, it is permissible for one's employer to fire an employee for being gay in more than half of the states. The same cannot be said of an entirely voluntary condition such as religious affiliation.
The point I was originally trying to make, is that regardless of religiousness, religious affiliation, or membership in the particular congregation in question, many of those congregations in dire need of church repair would raise objections to the presence of a gay construction worker, gay architect or gay secretary to the architect. Those congregations would object to the presence of the gay worker because his mere presence would be considered an affront to their religious freedom. Regardless of the gay person's status as an employee or congregant of the church. Also regardless of the fact that that congregation (in the proposed situation of public monies going toward the renovation of a church) is now sucking off the public teat and should otherwise be subject to
CIVIL non-discrimination laws.
