1. The religious exemptions are not broad enough, as evidenced by the very next clause of the bill, which qualifies them;
2. Private businesses owned by people of faith would have to comply witht he social engineering of the state, which is deemed more important than their natural rights to conscience and religious practice; and,
3. No state should elevate one class of "protected persons" above another, in this case, elevating persons with same-sex attraction above those who believe that such attraction deserves love, charity, and respect--but not special legal protection.
WE URGE THE WYOMING SENATE AND HOUSE TO DEFEAT SENATE FILE 115.

My daughter is a student at Wyoming Catholic College and this would have an adverse effect on the school. Please seek to have legislation that robustly protects religious liberties which this bill does not.
As a student of Wyoming Catholic College, I am very disturbed that my religious beliefs and those of my colleagues and professors will be violated by this bill. While I believe that people of any sexual orientation should be able to find employment as easily as anyone else, this bill is completely unnecessary to ensure that that happens, and also does not give Catholic educational institutions the right not to hire someone that would teach in opposition to its core beliefs and standards.
This bill forces people to act contrary to their consciously held beliefs and should therefore, be defeated.
This bill will create unnecessary regulation of business hiring practices and will effectively create a privileged working class, despite its claims to do exactly the opposite.
This bill is unquestionably a violation of the right of employers to hire in a manner consistent with their religious beliefs -- a right that has always been recognized and protected rather than compromised by the government.
I live in Wyoming (82009) and I say don't violate our rigious freedoms for the sake of "politcal correctness" and feel good ideas
Please do not support dramatic change to personal rights, protections from dangers, and re-define our society, SD exists. protect business owners and church personnel against imprisionment

This is an insidious whereby the State of Wyoming creates a special class of people who can trump the contistutional rights of all other Wyoming citizens.
