Oh Ponderosa.. this is the year 2015... why would the owners sexual preferences matter to you, a customer staying in their hotel... it's not like they're going to give you a personal wake up call by coming into your room and forcing you to take one for the team, dude....
I'm straight - married - have grandkids... I don't necessarily condone 'that' lifestyle - but if it's not hurting me, I'm certainly not going to condemn it...
What was the point of your post? You admit that you would boycott a business owned by someone with different political views. The exact same thing that you are criticizing others for doing. The article you linked said the hotel has been threatened with boycotts and lost customers, not death threats.
I admitted, I would not be making death threats.
Boycott? Truth may be, I just choose....... and how would I come to know his political views, in a gun shop? A gun shop with no guns? If he is voicing his political views one way or the other out of the blue, just so everyone knows. I would most likely take my business elsewhere.
Two gay hotel owners sparked a firestorm this week when news broke of a dinner they hosted with Republican presidential candidate Ted Cruz -- and now, their businesses might suffer for it.
The truth is, to the left, there’s nothing worse than being conservative. If you’re a minority/gay/female/poor conservative, you’re suddenly the enemy. Nothing else matters. It turns into a giant witch hunt.
Needless to say, if you’re black, you’re a Democrat. Case closed. No room for discussion.
That twisted line of thinking is exactly why Zuri Davis, a 19-year-old black conservative woman who supports Sen. Rand Paul, had to fight back.
Oh the tolerance of the left. No one can think for themselves, or they get punished.
So what? It's a free country. Gay owners have the freedom to host bigoted Republican. Customers have the freedom to not visit gay owners' establishment. It's called freedom. You have a problem with that?
I got news for ya, consumers make these type of choices all the time. They stopped buying Michael Vick jerseys. They stopped buying Lance Armstrong bikes. They stopped going to the old Charlotte Hornets games. Based not on the quality of the product but on the action of someone in charge of the brand. That's how consumers think. This isn't a left/right issue, it's a business issue. Every Mad Men will tell you ALL consumers evoke emotion in purchasing decision. To expect the left to somehow function like androids is just being holly naive and definitely extreme.
I thought conservatives are all about taking personal responsibility?! When a business owner does something to damage his brand and suffers financial consequence, I thought that is just prototypical of taking personal responsibility isn't it? Somehow the camp who says personal responsibility this, personal responsibility that; never seems to want to own up to it when the occasion arise.

No, not at all.
What I have a problem with is, the character attacks, with death threats and that of violence.
You hate me, because I'm friends with someone you hate and you don't even know me.
The party of old rich white folks is getting pretty desperate when they have to attack a man for just attending a meeting with some people.
Who is making this a gay/straight issue? The party of old rich white people
Who is making accusations against Cruz as if him being gay would be a bad thing? The party of old rich which people.
Who is trying to attack someone for just being near an establishment owned by 2 gay men? The party of old rich and clearly intolerant white people.
Thanks Democrats, continue to spread your hate... we are watching.
Democrats? Who you have just described would be your party, The Grand Old (white) Party.
