I absolutely support a private business owner the FREEDOM to discriminate. I absolutely support people not shop there and tell everyone who will listen as well.
I'm a business owner. If my competitors are turning away business I will be there to pickup the slack and be just that more successful.
At the beginning of this discussion a poster named Seacove came up with a very rational solution.
If the business owner is allowed to discriminate, then why not require the business to own up to his/her discrimination by posting a sign:
* NO GAYS (or dogs) ALLOWED *
Why post a sign? Because after the potential customer has traveled to patronize your business, entered it, should they be subject to the embarrassment or humiliation of being shown the door?
Think about it.
If a sign is posted on the door they know not to enter. It also informs other potential customers that do not support that policy to shop elsewhere.

Media in this country is a joke![/quote]
You're wrong.
The Indiana law is not the same law as the one Bill Clinton signed.

That would be fine, as long as the owner consents to doing that. If it's required by law, that's the entire problem.
Right on Arkansas.. dont cow tow to any segment of the population...let the overall populace speak at the ballot box.. how about NO SPECIAL classes and let the free market principle work
Dude you want to force me to bake you a cake? If I baked you a cake it would have a special filling.
But this isn't about cakes. It's about forcing America to accept a deviant lifesyle. Push back is coming.
Ummmm ...
The only MASSIVE backlash I see happening this week is outrage against Gov. Pence and the Indiana Legislature.
It's like...the Republicans just can't get enough of shooting themselves in every limb on their body. These should be their halcyon days with their new majority, and a president that they thought was weak.
They just can't fathom that the America they long for is NEVER coming back. It's gone people...Andy Griffith is dead and his America preceded him in death decades before he died.
I believe this is just a knee jerk reaction to the legalization of same sex marriage.
The Supreme Court is going to hear the arguments next month and announce their ruling in June.
Let's see what happens!

Indeed. The Indiana legislature and governor seem to have actually deluded themselves into believing they could make this law without drawing an avalanche of negative attention to themselves.
What's even more pathetic, the good upstanding Christian governor has the nerve to come out and lie directly to the press and pretend that sanctioning discrimination was never the goal.
If you're going to push this stuff, at least be man enough to own up to it and not flat out lie to people.
Wake me up when liberals destroy their Apple products and boycott Apple for servicing countries that execute homosexuals.
Why? Bringing internet and information to those countries through Apple products will help to fight this ignorance that leads to discrimination. Would you boycott information to the people of North Korea just because they are abused by their government?
