So Facebook and Twitter are private companies and have the right to restrict who uses their services, right Bidenites?

Right?

Dragged or Drug—Which Is Correct?

"The recognized and correct past tense form of the verb drag is dragged. Drug can still sometimes be heard, but only in certain dialects within the United States."

Must be difficult for you to read certain types of literature.
Double the protection? You mean like most people are part of more than one protected class? It’s illegal to discriminate for many reasons so it’s possible one could bring suit based on being discriminated against in more than one way. Gay people aren’t asking for “double” protection, just the same protection extended to other citizens.

Thanks for the notes on the past tense of drag. I’ve never heard or read the word drug/drugging/drugged used except in the context of pharmaceuticals or other nostrums. Drug is what you take when you have a headache, drag is what you do when you move your sofa across the room. Not sure what type of literature regularly uses “drugged” as the past tense of drag instead of the proper one dragged.

Drugged is not the same as drug. Did you mean to use dragged?

Nor would they be able to find a lawyer willing to take the case. Discrimination based on sexual orientation is not illegal in NC.

Exactly. What will happen most likely is that it will bring to the forefront the City voting on adding non-discrimination based on sexual orientation in public accommodation. The prohibition was removed in Dec.

The venue still hasn't put up a notice on their website that they don't do gay weddings.

You have rights afforded to you by the u.s. Constitution, you are protected.

Nope I didn't --- probably should have since so many are unfamiliar with dialects.

And are you trolling too, cause OT?
