Troutman claims that for her, it’s not about religion, which may be true, but she doesn’t seem to have even considered that it is about religion for a lot of people, and that what she’s doing tramples on their religious freedom. She just thinks that if enough folks like her vote on it, then they must be right, and they can do whatever they want.

It’s a classic blindness that majorities often have with regard to minorities and one that the white Christian majority in the US tends to have towards religious minorities, particularly non-white ones. They simply don’t recognize we exist until we object to something they’re doing that infringes on our rights. (I say “our” and “we” because I am part of one of those religious minorities although I identify as white…though white supremacists would still classify me as non-white).
