A lesbian couple was recently shot in a Texas park and another was attacked in Nebraska and had slurs carved into her body. This is what your attitude engenders, OP.

If that's not hate, I'm not sure what is. I'd rather have my business boycotted any day than have "dyke" carved into my face.

Where's the outrage from you about those acts?

Not sure how you can go about proving this, but the gay couple was illegally discriminated against. Plain and simple.

Selling something he sells is an obstruction of business? What?

The elimination of private property rights is the true tragedy here.

As a business owner, he/she should have the right to serve AND refuse service to whoever they want for whatever reason they decide.

It is their capital, their risk, and their decision. Government has no power to dictate who I must and must not deal with in my business.

Hold on...freaks that hurt people like that are not anti gay....they are anti people and simply try to excuse violence with a pseudo psycho reason.

Violence comes in many forms, Id say dressing up and displaying non-sense to young students a remark of violence against their normally expected life future goals and hopes..little girls drag around little dolls and young male toddlers romance their mother in very cute innocent ways....Presenting adult role model examples in the rejection of whats naturally inherent in children is a clear violence disrupting the flow of momentum in the designs within gender...It is an adult example which militates against embedded hope, a violence.
I'd like to see the gay people dress up for the interview to "get the job in the first place in education...

It's just the way it is. A perfect situation. It's like your being held down, and can't fight back.

Except it's not private property rights at play here. The business is considered a public accommodation. In Colorado, public accommodations cannot discriminate based upon race, gender, blah, blah blah - up to and including sexual orientation.

That law is in play because of scenarios like this.

And quite frankly, if somebody doesn't like the laws in place that deal with their business, then they need to close their doors or petition to change the laws.

Not really.

A boycott is not going to eliminate private property rights

Unless that reason is discriminatory, like in this particular case.

You mean the blathering post where you attempted to claim that a heterosexual would boycott the place because they sold to a homosexual?
