Yes, in liberal-land, no wedding cake is worse than death. /SMH
You're upset.

I understand.

Because once again your precious GOP has stepped all over their own tallywhackers in a most amusing way.

Try to look at the humorous side. That's what I like to do. Keeps me smiling.

Asa Hutchinson is pragmatic. He's looking at Indiana. He's considering Wal-Mart's statement. And he's looking at what happened in Fayetteville (home of the University of Arkansas, and one of the state's most progressive cities) and their attempt to pass a law prohibiting LGBT discrimination. By turning it back to the legislature, he's buying time, and he will be giving the voters more opportunity to be heard and to debate the issue.

No, because they do not offer printing of nude photos. Just like a wedding photographer is not required to take a job doing wildlife photos. A steak house is not required to sell tacos. A ice cream shop is not required to offer cherry ice cream.

The point is, if a store DOES offer a service they have to offer that service to everyone. If the store does not offer that service they do not have to offer it to anyone.

Walmart does not offer nude photograph printing to ANYONE. They do not discriminate on who they will print nudes for, because they do not offer that service.

Who cares about Tim Cook?

Now, Mike Pence...

There's a guy who's fun to watch as his political career slides into the toilet.

No, it's right-wingers who should quit their pathetic whining. "Wahh! I can't pretend my superstitious beliefs puts me above the law! Wahh!" Dry your tears and cope.
