Moron fails the Bar exam because of the gays

Gay marriage is sort of allowed in Massachusetts. Or at least it was? I don't keep up with your state, but when marriages have been recognized by the state, a question concerning the legal rights of a separated same-sex couple are very appropriate for the Massachusetts bar exam.

Does this mean that the state should start accommodating religion in its Bar? It's an interesting question. As a state entity, it should be open to all Massachusetts taxpayers. However, I still don't believe that he should win this case, since the question does not violate his practice of religion. He consented to the end result of the test, by electing not to answer the question.

Of course, this opens a Pandora's box of legalese. If he claims that the question violates his religion, he first has to demonstrate that he adheres to a state-recognized religion and must then establish how the question violates the practice thereof. Unless his "religion" states that one must answer no question concerning gay marriage as a form of dogma, he doesn't have much of a case.

Rights are semantically non-discriminatory. The rights for a straight married couple apply equally to a same-sex couple. The difference comes in where the court can't have a bias for a different gender.

I think it has something to do with the British soldiers being assaulted by a mob.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

How does the question violate the separation of church and state? Is there such an amendment to the Massachussets constitution? Because otherwise we default to disestablishmentarianism, wherein the state may make no law regarding religion.

Something which gay marriage does not violate.

It was against his religious belief to answer the question.

That doesn't violate the separation of church and state. Because somebody takes issue with the way the state conducts itself in regards to his religion does not mean the church and state are conjoined. It's precisely the opposite.
