That’s what the other side is trying to do ... destroy is as an organized force!
What I’ve thought about this legislation, all along, is that it’s the “gay issue” that brought it out ... BUT ... it’s not JUST about gays, but preventing Christian business owners from being forced into do several things that they consider to be VIOLATIONS of deeply-held religious convictions!
I posted elsewhere ...

To me, this kind of legislation seems to have a lot more to do with OTHER THINGS, other than gays. It seems that the “gay issue” is driving the discussion, but to me, that “gay issue” seems to be a minor point, as compared to ALL of what legislation guaranteeing “Christian Conscience” in business is about.
Unless I’m mistaken about what this kind of bill means, I see this bill as preserving the “conscience” of a Christian owner of a business from serving or doing business with a person who violates that “religious conscience” by who they are or what they represent or what they stand for. SO, in that sense, it is NOT TARGETED at gays, but all sorts of other things that would violate the “Christian’s conscience”!
A sampling of some other things I can think of, in which one would DENY SERVICE to people, would be a group coming in for Pizza who supports ABORTION! That would really violate a Christian’s conscience.
Or, if a Mormon church group came in and had an “after church Pizza gathering” some Sunday afternoon. I would DENY THEM SERVICE as they are one of the largest CULT GROUPS in America ... and as far as I’m concerned Mormons shouldn’t get service from ANY CHRISTIAN BUSINESS WHATSOEVER, ANYWHERE!!
If Mitt Romney were to come in to that Pizza place he SHOULD BE DENIED SERVICE because of clearly being a Mormon!
I would DENY SERVICE to GLENN BECK, too, for his Mormonism!
SO ... it doesn’t appear to be a “gay issue” but a VERY REAL “Religious Conscience” issue and opens the door to CHRISTIAN BUSINESS to serving Christians and not VIOLATING their religious conscience!
That's just crazy talk. Even the bakers, florists and photographers who are being targeted by gays are not refusing to do any business with gays, they simply do not want to be forced to participate in weddings that specifically violate their religious beliefs. But they do business with them at other times.
Christians should tolerate civil behavior, no matter who is doing it, and reject uncivil behavior, even if it's the preachers' kids who are making out in public, hotrodding in the streets or sneaking drugs. If gay people or mormons are eating pizza and not bothering anyone, there's no point in making a scene. That really would make a Christian look like a bigot in the name of Christ, and I'm not sure He would approve.
You are either deeply confused, a full blown bigot and not in any meaningful way Christian, or a mole seeking to create division with your outrageous and, frankly, ridiculous claims.
We have a way of separating the wheat from the chaff around here.
Gay marriage ain’t the issue. It is the new fflag burning. Why did Pence go on Stepenalloverus? So the Uniparty would have, yet again, some new reason to get ginned up that was frivolous crap that wouldn’t actually mean anything. When will we say ENOUGH! 18 Trillion and spending more every day but Fag marriage is the issue? I ain’t buying the Bovine Scat anymore.
