Not all people are left-handed.

Shouldn't the left-handed store be required to accommodate right-handed people?


As for that bridal shop, when those lesbians decide to marry men, the bridal boutique will be happy to provide gowns for them.

It's not who they are that matters.

It's not what they are that matters.

It's what they are doing that determines whether or not they get served.

Your logic is flawed and you need to try harder.

If the left-handed store is located in a left and right handed state, then yes, right handed folks are expected to be served. Left-handed store has all the freedom in the world to move to an all left-handed state.

Gay MARRIAGE is legal in state of PA. This lesbian lady did not make extraordinary demand, she just wanted to be treated equally. She didn't go to the anti-gay marriage state and demand a change of law.

It's only when it comes to gay women, that they suddenly develop "spiritual beliefs."



If I have ten kids out of wedlock while wearing a dress and cheating because my horoscope told me to do so and I repent of all I've done, getting married doesn't mean I'll repeat my mistakes and the act of marrying a member of the opposite sex is not itself sinful.

However, if I am a homosexual who wants to marry a man, what I did or didn't do before doesn't change any of the relevant facts about what I want to do in marrying a member of my own sex.

See how that works?



FTR, how much of a dick would I have to be to insist Kosher Jews serve me a ham sandwich?
The reason is irrelevant. They don't carry pork. They don't carry patio furniture or iPhones or eyeglasses.
What they DO carry, they will sell to everyone.
The wedding dress shop, on the other hand is in the business of selling wedding dresses.

How this consistently goes flying right over your head really surprises me.

The logic is silly and has already been debunked, but since you insist. A more accurate one would be if the Kosher deli refused to sell a Kosher sandwich to a non-Jewish customer.

Another silly argument. Why can't the left-handed store sell a right-handed customer left-handed equipment? It's like saying you can't buy size 9 shoes because you wear a size 12.

By the logic you used with the deli and and left handed store arguments it sounds like your suggesting that they would require a special lesbian wedding dress.

If your values say that you can not sell wedding dresses, DON'T OPEN a wedding dress shop. Problem solved.

Got it!

So MLK should have simply moved to another state.

I'm sure they did, right after they voiced their displeasure with the shops policy. The first amendment grants them the right to freedom of speech, they used it.

Don't like it? Try to get an amendment passed to get rid of the first amendment.
