He doesn't follow Jesus, that's for sure. Jesus doesn't condone the kind of hate people like you display on this forum, and he will declare he doesn't know you and this business owner.

It seems that based on the owner's limited world-view, he has made the right choice by discontinuing doing weddings. What might really destroy his business the rest of the way, however, is that he has been so public about his hate. It's not just gay people who will avoid the trolley now. Eventually, all these businesses will get what they want, because only other like-minded individuals will be their patrons. But I think they might find that the population of those like-minded individuals is shrinking. LGBT folks are quite aware of the power of the dollar. And their friends are too.

He did the whole world a favor, don't kid yourself. Gay sites on line are now promoting themselves by showing 10 yr old girls in bed gleefully with what would be lesbians trying to suggest they are good parents. One such photo I noticed yesterday right here in this forum....if it was two gay males with a young boy in bed, they would never get away with the prop.

Gays have bad judgement all around and the Russian leader Putin today is going to pass a bill dis-allowing American adults to adapt the Russian children and take them away to their home in America. With gays adapting and the child porn in abuse that we know is just getting worse, he's making a very wise decision. A country that allows gay's to fill out an application to get a child is a country gone mad.

The gay people have come out of the closet...ok, but they are trying to invade and take over suggesting that they have equality with the example and flourishing momentum of contribution and value of the hetro union. This is illogical and a thoughtless contradictory momentum, nothing to do with religion, just plain common sense prompting decency.

Why should the general public have to slow traffic down, notice and be supportive of yet another parade which militates against the species survival refusing to acknowledge the intended...fueling the streetcar in conformity with fueling the aids epidemic, which is a scientific fact. No clear decent thinking person would join themselves and find a means of exchange in money for their very food from such human negativism. Man is an individual, not a puppet or robot, but an individual who finds himself in the decent decisions which allow him to identify his unique self. Good decision I'd say, people need more examples of the real individual. So does the world in many many stemming ways.

And a civil marriage, endorsed and recognized by the government, is NOT a "christian marriage". We are not, have never been, and most certainly will never be, a christian country.

Y'all run along now, and talk amongst yourselves about how the rest of us are evil sinners going to hell. We don't want to hear about it any more.

Yes he did. He showed us exactly what kind of hypocritical bigot he was.

Yet the same advertisement with hetero couples is fine and dandy? Nice double standard.

Love how you try to make it seem because it has to do with numerous gays adopting, when its just a political maneuver by the Russian leader, who has express his hatred of America publicly for years.

Wow, now we go right into the fact less post as if it were true.

His decision is politically based, has NOTHING to do with gays adopting.

They do, they are and nothing of our bigotry will change that. I've known great gay couples, who are supportive of their children. And I've seen my fair share of bad hetero parents, who neglect their children, abuse them, and let them starve.



the rest of your diatribe is nothing but bigotry at its finest.

The trolley owner gets it: And as a public accommodation, we cannot discriminate between gay or straight couples, so we had to stop doing all wedding transportation.

His choice to discriminate, so his choice to stop earning money. His loss, ultimately.




This prospective customer is awesome: Belkot, surprised by Grubbs' email, fired off a response that read, in part, "It is your right to run your business any way you see fit, but let's be honest here, you drive a trolley up and down a street. Not exactly God's work."

It would be more accurate to say that the owner has the right to not run it as he wishes. If he wants to reopen, he will have to put his bigotry aside and provide services to gay people. Maybe he can open another business that is allowed to cater only to homophobes, probably not very profitable long term since with each passing day more and more haters and bigots are dying.

The only bigotry is against the order and nature of life, everyone knows that.

Trying to argue against the order in nature is no different then bringing a Popsicle Stick along and trying to stop this:

So much hate from one person, yet you say you are not a bigot. Many hets abuse children and you are not griping about that. You wnat more examples of the real individual, yet you want gay people to hide away from the likes of you. Hipocritical.
