the difference between a radical islamist and a fundamentalist conservative is not much.
Except they don't go chopping off your head if you disagree with them, or go killing gays. Or hijacking planes into buildings.

That's irrelevant. The thing is that many leftists, especially those in the media, seem to have an obsession with homosexuals. It reminds me of junior high.

Better idea: Be very public about being gay, get refused service, tell everyone you were refused service. People should know what businesses are doing this so they can decide if that is a business they want to deal with.

If you go around trying to cause conflict, don't complain when conflict finds you.

What do you call this law? Sounds like a way to cause conflict. I'm not gay and thankfully I don't live in the hateful state of Indiana but as it is, I wouldn't do business with anyone in Indiana even remotely. Indiana asked for the conflict so don't complain now that it has found you.

Who has an obsession with homosexuals? Pence actually signed a law against them. That is a whole new level of obsession.

Go to the Washington Post's website, every day there's at least one story about homosexuality, front and center. Last year in Pittsburgh we had some week-long gay pride fest extravaganza. Why does this weigh so heavily on some people's minds, I don't get it?

Only because we keep them in check. Under different circumstances, fundamentalist christians would be (and have been) just as nasty as fundamentalist muslims.

Equality is important to some people.

But clearly not to today's "conservatives" who seek only to 'conserve' race/sex/class privilege.
