“Believing homosexuality is invalid is one thing; disrespecting others based
on those beliefs is another”
"Your belief system, I'm not going to change,"
he said. "You can ... worship however you want and believe whatever you want. But your behavior, when you walk inside
the doors of this institution, has to be subservient based on the laws of our nation. I have to treat the person with respect
as a member of my team because the government has said they're a member of the team."
