Exactly. Until God comes down from wherever and tells us he's sending us to hell for serving X, Y, or Z types of people, a business owner saying he/she is refusing service because of some "sincerely held religious belief" is just an excuse for the business to act like an a-hole and blame someone else (who can't defend themselves) for it. That is the epitome of cowardice.
So, we want to punish rude behavior.
Awesome, I want a law that fines and jails anyone who curses in front of my kids in public.
My family should be allowed to be in a public place without fear of any embarrassment, insensitivity, ridicule or harassment.
Let’s do a full liberal society where the government makes sure everyone feels welcome and included.
Lock up and fine anyone who is in any way offensive to anyone.
Whenever liberals censor or discriminate you always hear "their business, their rules"
When it comes to conservative businesses, its no right to discriminate and there are "protected classes" .
The civil rights act of 1964 is a joke
Nope. In fact it's the exact opposite, as the recent whining on this very forum proves. Righties loved the ruling in favor of the "Christian" cake company that refused to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple, but they hated that Papa John's CEO was ousted for making stupid (right-wing) comments.
Is someone prohibiting you from praying? Has the government burnt your church? NO.
You HAVE freedom of religion.
Freedom of Religion DOES NOT EQUAL discrimination against people who do not adhere to your religion.
Exactly. I find it hilarious and somewhat scary that the far-right wants to allow people to be able to do basically anything they want provided they can blame it on "religion," and yet at the same time, they are spouting off all the time against "Shariah Law." They don't even see the hypocrisy or danger of what they want. Once you open the flood-gates and allow "god made me do it!" as an excuse for everything, Shariah Law will look downright pleasant in comparison.
Supreme Court got it wrong on this one !
If I had that kind of money, I would give it to the baker to pay his fine, plus extra money just to deal with these morons.
And this is why a lot of people are sick of the LBQT agenda pushed on them! Like they are above anyone else
talk about over the top. The lesbian couple proved their point, they did win, so as far as I am concerned the proper thing for them to do is: refused the money. I hope they don't decide to move to Colo or some other state.
That would show class, which is something lefties have none of.
