Bullies only act like that until someone punches them in the nose.

Sure, guys, let me check our schedule. Oh, no, what a shame that we’re booked that weekend. Bye!

Never ever refuse a service due to race, creed, or sexual preference.

A poster noting that the business is subject to human rights law must additionally be displayed prominently at the business.

Here's the poster. Guess what they left out of their list of things you can't discriminate against? Religion of course. You can and will be discriminated against for your religious beliefs in New York.

They're dead Jim.

It's not dead yet. Just resting. It was stunned by the election of someone who is ineligible.

I feel more and more like I’m living in an Ayn Rand novel!

[Lazamataz]

Thought experiment: Laz owns this farm.

I would refuse to pay. I would sell the farm quickly, for cash. I would move out of state and refuse all communications with any New York tyrants.

In fact, I actually DID move out of that freakin' hellhole.

Ask homosexual owned bakers to bake cakes for anti-homosexual events. Oh, never mind. There must be 1.6% of all bakeries, so practically impossible to find.

I thought Ayn Rand’s writing was ludicrously exaggerated. Even the most evil looters couldn’t be as bad as her characters. It turns out her fiction was understated, and people like Obama use it as a blueprint for a starting point.

Welcome to communists criminal Division of Human Rights of America. The power to fine has to be taken away from all departments of the Federal Government. Only the courts should have the power to judge and if necessary to fine.

Sodomy trumps your religious rights.

National divorce, NOW!!

[Maudeen]

I miss America.

You weren’t far off. 75% of NYT editorial staff is LGBT.

States have rights and Votes have consequences. The Voters could put a stop to the madness
any time they deem necessary. The question is, will they. Most believe that if it
doesn't effect them "so what". Homo's would have to be barebacking on their porch during
a family reunion for them to give a hoot.

[TBP]

Don’t do it! Do not comply!

[sten]

yup.

this is why adhering to even the most basic requirement is crucial.

when you don’t, you’re signaling your willingness to forego the document entirely

[barefoot_hiker]

What if the owners told the judge “Will not comply. And by the way, go f*** yourself”?

[Mr Rogers]

Free association died with the Civil Rights Act in the 60s. Much of our freedom went with it. Proof that a noble goal can advance terrible harm...

[sten]

I’m confused.

it’s a FARM... why do they have to allow ‘WEDDINGS’ to be held on their property again??

[EnigmaticAnomaly]

I found that a tad curious, too...
