A GLBT group buys a block of tickets to a game, and the "Christian" food service workers refuse to show up for work? And they get to keep their jobs?
And allowing this block ticket purchase is threatening religious freedom? Are they next going to claim their "right" to drown witches?
SAN DIEGO — A national law firm involved with religious issues joined a local Christian minister Friday in decrying what they termed support by the San Diego Padres' management for the "homosexual lifestyle."
The Michigan-based Thomas More Law Center said the baseball team is encouraging homosexuality by allowing a gay group to attend the Sunday game at Petco Park featuring the Padres against the Atlanta Braves. At the game, the Padres plan to distribute free floppy hats to children 14 or younger.

The game controversy began when an El Cajon-based ministry said its followers would refuse to work the food concession stands during the game as a way to show disapproval of homosexuality. Set-Free Ministries has a contract with the team to staff such stands. The Padres plan to have other workers at the game to prevent any interruption of services.
Based in Ann Arbor, Mich., the Thomas More Law Center is active in issues in which it believes "the religious freedom of Christians is threatened."
