When I saw this thread title, I was certain that it was in jest or tongue-in-cheek. Because in a sane world, like the world I lived my earlier years in, it most certainly would be.

But no. Another sad reminder that everything is inside out and upside down now.

As you've been told previously, Jeff. You are not someone your gay neighbors will invite over for drinks and a BBQ. Stop worrying. Just stay in your house and enjoy your stockpiled rations.

SECULAR LAW--you might know this better by another name--CONSTITUTIONAL LAW...

sha·ri·a
SHəˈrēə/
noun
EVANGELICAL FUNDIE canonical law based on the teachings of the BIBLE and the traditions of the god-n-the-tiny-box, prescribing both religious and secular duties and sometimes retributive penalties for lawbreaking. It has generally been supplemented by legislation adapted to the conditions of the day, though the manner in which it should be applied in modern states is a subject of dispute between EVANGELICAL FUNDIES and RATIONAL CHRISTIANS

If you don't bow the knee to the new fascism, you get smacked down, as this thread has demonstrated.

So let us assume for the moment that fascism is now defined as wanting that any person who has the legal right to buy a legal product or service is not prevented from doing so by discrimination based on the person's race, relgion, gender or sexual orientation.

So what is your proposal? Do you want to to sexual orientation off of the list of peoples who cannot be discriminated against, do you wish to have it written in the anti discrimination laws that people can discrminate to whomever they want on the basis of the person's religious beliefs? Are these rights extended only to business owners or are employees in the private sector also allowed these religious rights? What about those in the public sector or those who work in essential services? Is the permission to discriminate that you want only for same sex marriage or against anything that homosexuals may do such as buy or rent a home?

And I really do not like the demand for people to be treated fairly as required by the law as fascism.. If my four grandparents had not emmigrated to North America they would not have survived the real fasist so I do not see how anyone saying that a person who objects to another person treating a customer unfairly and puts in onto social media that they did so and is a fascist.

Why? Who is suggesting that that? I'm certainly not. I'm not advocating for discrimination based on any of that.
