Are you really that stupid or ill-informed John?
Guys,
In this country we have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason. I, for one, would not refuse service to a gay person, but some people would and that’s their right. Now, if someone sets up shop across the street who is OK with serving gay people, that business might get more customers. That’s also OK.
There is much in the Civil Rights Act of 1965 that I like and respect. The government on every all level should never discriminate against anyone. With that said, individual people do have the right to discriminate, be idiots, be wonderful people, or be whatever. The marketplace of ideals will either reward them or punish them....which is how it should be. But, the Civil Rights act forces people to interact with people they may not agree with which is just wrong.
I know its PC to make a bar owner serve gay people and when he refuses, it makes the news. I would just love to see the Nazi Party (I’m picking an extreme example to make a point) insist on having their meetings at gay bar and claim a civil rights violation when they get refused. It’s the only way people will ever understand that we all have the right to associate with whomever we choose.
People bog down on the specifics of religious people not supporting the gay crowd. It’s the bigger picture we all have to keep in mind. Freedom works both ways.
At the very WORST, even if this accusation were true, liberals get to see what it looks like. They’ve been doing it since Methuselah was on training wheels.
However we’ve seen where this movement goes, including places they were swearing up and down a couple decades ago it would never go. To treat institutions of worship as though they were the property of the state (with the state being property of perverts) is just what they want.
No, the liberals don’t want the red flag raised that we have a virulent problem.
Sounds sort of like a Menshevik sometime in 1918.
