And there are are no other silk-screening tee-shirt places to print these people message.
Targeted attacks by the 3% (at most) population against any one who oppose their twisted agenda are never pretty.
Their tactic is to drive everyone into submission and compliance with their ideas.
No tolerance for you!!!
You mean they LIED when they said all they wanted was to be left alone?????
If we are not allowed discrimination in our own businesses, much less our individual lives, we are not free.
This anti-discrimination crud has been part of “the rules” for a long time.
From the ‘love that dare not speak its name’” to the “love that won’t shut the hell up”
I am a libertarian, what two consenting adults want to do to in the private is none of my business.
But the flip side is, I don’t have to jump for joy or approve of what they do. And if I don’t want to sell them a tee-shirt, I don’t have to!!
That’s freedom!!
Because it never was about t-shirts, but about targeting this man for his unacceptable beliefs. Convert or die (embrace the perversion or have his livelihood destroyed).
This is ridiculous.
He should be able to refuse business.
Pink Nazis.
I’ve always said that KY is more liberal than people think. The especially choose liberals there at the municipal level.
Somewhere in the FR archives is a story about the persecution of a Christian photographer that refused to service a homosexual event.
isn’t there a first amendment concerning freedom of the press?????
You may be right about Kentucky, but if the GOP did control the state government then they could and should prevent these type of local ordinances.
Business owners should, frankly, be able to service anyone they so choose. It’s none of the government’s business who a man does business with so long as it’s legal business, and the refusal to do business shouldn’t matter in the slightest.
Silly conservatives, the first amendment is for progressives and perverts— when cows fly.
Are there any groups of Christians seeking GLBTA businesses to print church group T-shirts and Biblical messages? Then put the GLBTA business owners up in front of the commission for refusing to do business with Christians.
Sooo....it occurs to me that to avoid these Gestapo rulings and tons of legal and financial hassle, conservative business owners may be better served citing SCHEDULE, when encountering a business order they’d rather not fill.
“Yaa.....we can have those shirts for you....about August 2014. If that meets your needs, we require a 50% deposit.”
Or, cake, or, flowers, or rental accommodations, etc...
Gay pride, i.e., homosexual arrogance.
You are correct.
It was a NM case.
The photographer ultimately lost after a very lengthy and expensive legal battle.
These businesses should come to Texas.
We are as free as you can be in the USSA.
Hopefully we will just be trading partners one day.
Well, it’s more complicated than that. KY is more DEMOCRAT than people think because it has a lot of ignorant antebellum rednecks who will vote for whoever has the D after their name, all the time, no matter what, which gives the actual Democrat politicians that they vote for free reign to be as liberal as they want. The politicians are socially way more liberal than the people who vote for them, but you’re talking about the white equivalent of the black vote: solid Democrat no matter what the issues are or what they actually believe.
I know genuine racist Kentuckians who think gay marriage is evil, who disowned their relative for becoming an atheists, who nevertheless adore Obama. Because he is a Democrat who gives out food stamps. These attitudes go back to FDR and beyond, all the way back to Lincoln.
And I was born and raised in KY, so no complaining about my use of the term “ignorant rednecks.” I calls ‘em like I sees ‘em.
