I like this.
100% dittos.
Brilliant.
Poisoning the well with rightousness!
I LOVE IT!
That works as a last resort.
But we need to work to get the laws in place that nobody should ever have to participate in a religious ceremony, quasi-religious ceremony, or mockery of a religious ceremony that they object to by virtue of having offered business services to the public.
And as far as the bread and breakfast scenario, you’d probably have to have a clear definition of what is a bread and breakfast vs a hotel. With a bread and breakfast being provided more protections than a hotel.
Yes! Great strategy!
It’s the perfect solution.
And don't say anything about wearing crucifixes or rosary bracelets or whatever. JUST DO IT. Then if the happy couple objected to what the servers wore they'd be violating their rights.
Keep it simple. Turn it around.
That’s going to do absolutely nothing ... they’ll be laughing at all the money that the owner is not getting and having to service them anyway!
A great way to ‘turn the other cheek’ (double entenendre intended) on gay terrorist activists in America.
I keep seeing this described as a viable option, but how does the business prevent being ruined financially by a long stream of such requests? Give the homofascists a way to destroy you, and they surely will.
Also, the “shaming” publicly, by name, of the homofascists will end up in court, and the business will lose, unless the homofascists agree to it in the contract.
This idea treats the symptom - but does not deter the disease that will kill the patient before long.
**And then inform them that all of the money that they pay for the services will be donated to a traditional pro-family lobby.**
Nope.
The party requesting services has to pay for said services by sending a check to a traditional pro-family lobby. Make THEM write the check. Put it in the contract.
It doesn’t really make any sense.
They are going to provide a service they don’t want to provide and turn all the money they make over to an organization that will try to make it so they don’t have to provide that very service.
The good Father is looking thru’ rose-colored glasses if he thinks a business can survive by giving away its income.
Unless we get relief from the court system, which I do not believe will happen, then I think we need a much better solution. We need to separate the civil, legal part of marriage from the Christian ceremony part.
Once separated, flowers, bakers, events can all be billed as Christian church support services. The wedding, like a funeral, baptism is a religious service with no government interact. Support services drop weddings as a service, and provide Christian Church services.
If that doesn’t work, we go back to what we did under the Romans - approach another Christian, make a sign of the fish on their palm (or modern day equivalent) and then do business.
Tell them your silent partner is a muslim.
And what happens when the fags call your bluff? And when they accuse you of discrimination because you don’t do all those things on other catering engagements?
Sometimes it’s possible to be too clever for one’s own good. And we shouldn’t have to choose between trickery and loyalty to our beliefs.
Good idea.
