So much for freedom: Judge orders diversity classes after refusal to make gay pride shirts (illegal, healthcare)

[RecentlyMoved]

look at the hypocrites talking about freedoms being taken away and the gov't legislating morality when most of them are against gay rights or women's rights.

hilarious

As long as someone gets offended the courts will continue to move that line.

no shirt no shoes have to do with health, not refusing service due to religion, race or sexual orientation. in america we are all created equal, even the people you don't like.

Remember the old signs that used to be posted in some businesses?

"We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."

Any business should be able to decide whom they will serve. God forbid that we hurt somebody's feelings.

Talk about erosion of freedoms and rights......gets worse every year.

That's the thing, he's not making an argument. He's pointing out fact. End of story.

Nope, apparently once you open a business you surrender many of your rights. Because someone else's rights are more important than yours.

Perhaps the t shirt makers senses were offended and feelings hurt... perhaps the courts should send the pride folks to sensitivity traing classes. Perhaps the govt. should mandate "grow some balls" training
