The plaintiffs have argued that the PrEP requirement forces business owners to pay for services that "encourage homosexual behavior, prostitution, sexual promiscuity and intravenous drug use" despite their religious beliefs.

Wow. Fuck those plaintiffs.

If God does exist, they're going straight to hell.

Like I always say, if your religious opinions force you to do something, you have a right to do that. If your religious views inflict pain on other people you're just a bully with a book.
