[Gay State Conservative]

While growing up we had pretty strict "blue laws" in my state which meant that many types of stores had to close on Sundays...Department Stores being the best example.Pharmacies,gas stations and restaurants are example of places that *could* open on Sundays.I liked those laws.

People need to eat on Sundays just as they need prescriptions on Sunday so I'm not sure I have a problem with this announcement.They do need to make it clear that nobody will be forced to work on Sunday,however...that could be seen as a violation of Christian values.

Chick-Fil-A is not opening on Sundays. It’s an April Fools Day joke.

I remember the Blue Laws..( was this just a Southern thing)

...so my mom and grandmother made a big Sunday dinner and kept it on the warmer while we went to church......

Ha ha...The first time my mom tried making or serving pizza ( I don’t know if she made it or bought it).....
....I sat on the back stoop and refused to eat it, because it didn’t smell like anything I could recognize
....having grown up with most of my foods fried and deep fried.

Today I love it!.....but eat it sparingly

Grew up in Kansas City area in an era when we had blue laws. Everything was closed except for churches, hospitals and emergency city services. Everyone I knew went to church and Sunday school in the morning, then home for a family dinner and a nap and then back to church for training union and Sunday evening services.

We all did fine. Would make me very happy to see blue laws return everywhere and IMO the U.S. would be much better off morally.
