What does that mean?
As a devout Christian, I will not turn gays away if I were a baker or florist or pizzeria owner and all they want are cakes, flowers or pizzas.
Does the question include servicing gay weddings?
You should be able to turn away anyone, for any reason.
as a practising Christian, I will not help to facilitate sin - any sin.
“You should be able to turn away anyone, for any reason.”
BUMP
You can word a survey in such a way to get any outcome you desire. That is what happened here.
Anyone? ...
Or is it my mixed up failing memory ?
OK sure. Lets put it up for another round of votes in the states.
Reuters...’nuff said.
The article attempts to correlate the two assumptions. I still think the majority of voting adults would say, no, you do not have to cater to gay weddings if your religious beliefs are violated. There are many ways to parse or skillfully phrase this question. This reminds me of some local tax increase bill, with the ballot so worded that to vote NO, will actually equal a YES vote FOR taxes.
Mind Games. People playing their mind games.
RE: You should be able to turn away anyone, for any reason.
And that reason includes the color of one’s skin or one’s ethnicity?
I think the context of the request needs to play a part. A service for hire business needs a lot more leeway than a storefront operation.
Indeed
I wouldn’t bake a gay wedding cake for either “straight” not “gay” customers.
The vague notion of refusal of service as handled in this poll...is simply DISHONEST!!
The lies flow nonstop these days.
Conflating the question of a service to a gay person and service supporting a gay activity is something too complicated for people. That or the question is poorly worded.
Manufactured Consensus.
I wish more people would learn what it means and how it works.
RE: Conflating the question of a service to a gay person and service supporting a gay activity is something too complicated for people.
As I said in my above post — I suspect, the pollster did not explain what “providing a service to gays” mean.
No devout Christian I know will reject servicing gays for their business. It is when the service involved PARTICIPATING in homosexual activity that they will decline.
