I'm not opposed to anyone's rights...I'm just not big on "special" rights. And I'm not siding with anyone on this, but it will be fun watching you libs twist and turn on this one. Have fun...

They should be fired. I wonder though, bakeries/photographers have lost in court when arguing their religious beliefs prohibit them from servicing gays, but in this instance it isn't the cab company but individuals who are declining to serve gays. So.. Can the company be held liable in court? Or maybe to reduce liability the company instead cans the drivers, only to be sued by them for religious discrimination? I'd be very interested to see it tested in court. It definitely puts the cab companies in a bad spot no matter what they do.

Sounds like you agree.

The "gay games" have been around a long time. Not sure why anyone would care.

There is a also a Maccabi games for Jewish athletes. Not sure why any one not Jewish would care.

There are the ParaLympics too.

Another vote for firing them.

When will certain members of the right wing understand that support Muslims' right to exist peacefully and respectfully in the United States and opposing animosity posed against them as an aggregate does not mean that they get a free pass?

Oh please...allow me:

Notwithstanding tagging everything with the term "rights" to make it palatable (), one striking difference between conservatives and liberals is that we conservatives are firm believers in Niemoller's "First they came for....." message. Unlike you, apparently, we defend all of the constitutional amendments.

So the cabbies who leave their cabs filthy, talk like animals on their phones while driving, don't help with bags, have as much customer service skills as a liberal has common sense, and have a lead foot and horrible driving skills are refusing to take people in cabs? LMFAO. Solution..don't get into their cab in the first place. The funny thing is 95 percent of these cabbies and their gay customers that they are shunning probably support the same candidate and same political party.

Talking Muslim drivers at Cleveland airport refuse to drive cabs with Gay Games advertising

Intolerant Muslim nutjobs and intolerant RWNJs = same-same.

They should be best buds.

If they were white Christians the DOJ would have impounded their cabs and threatened to have the Feds shoot their families.

You know, for "intolerance".

You must be deriving very little "fun" from this thread.
