A homosexual pickup place, maybe?
“East” Atlanta”........says it all. More than likely, most of his clients are hiding from the police, hiding from the military on the other hand, is a mystery.
Flat Shoals Rd is an Amish area.
Celibate police are OK.

Not quite. The issue isn’t the scope of police officer’s or military service member’s duties. It is whether or not a business open to the public can impose ideologically based restrictions on providing their services based on a sincerely held belief.
We are currently working through the issue. Christian bakers, wedding photographers, and special event venue owners have defended these restrictions (with varying degrees of success) based on their religious beliefs.
Is this restriction only acceptable if it is religiously based? Or can a sincere belief held by a non-believer/atheist also qualify? If you allow one, how logically can you not allow the other without, in effect, declaring that the denied group’s right to equal treatment is inferior to the favored group? The government is not supposed to prefer one over the other.
This all I meant by saying it cuts both ways
Are beliefs only “sincerely held” if they are religious in nature?
See post number 46 for more.
By the way, I am not a non-believer or an atheist.
On the other hand, the bakers have a demonstrable obligation under their ancient and well-documented religion to reject behavior that is patently sinful and offensive to their god. Their rejection IS religious in nature, and provably so.
The two cases have nothing in common.
If all Military bases are like our Navy base, they have their own gym with state of the art equipment. I suspect larger PD’s do too. So this is just a stupid FAKE stunt.
They haven’t seen the Memphis PD, mostly black, in fact they will excuse minor felonies to get them through the recruitment, and what few whites their are can’t get a promotion very easily. Took 1 guy 5 tries with the highest scores on a numbers, no name Eval to make Captain. Blacks sued for discrimination...he was the only 1 to have that high a score. And with a numbers system, race is not reveled until after the test scores come out and are posted.
