I’d love to steal everything they have, no cops!

So. Let me see if I have this straight.
A baker can get sued for refusing to make wedding cake for two homosexuals, but a gym owner can refuse to allow police and military from using the facility.

You probably don't have to worry about it. There are other demographics who will take care of the thievery that you aren't willing to do.

Colin Flaherty often says, "Just because you are down with the cause, doesn't mean the cause is down with you."

I thought discrimination was the worst thing ever. I guess it depends on who you’re discriminating against...

All they need to do is have a homosexual or “trans” cop/serviceman go there and...bingo! Discrimination against the right people, he’s out of business or forced to change his policy.

Probably has a sideline of selling steroids and other illegal pharmaceuticals, and doesn’t want cops around to notice.

Atlanta is a weird place. Lots of alternative reality there. Atlanta votes democrat. Nuff said. Those who know are living outside of Atlanta-Fulton County.

I guess that even deviants and criminals need their "safe space".

Gets them ready for prison, I guess.

"Meanwhile, the Atlanta Police Department told NBC that the gym’s policy wouldn’t stop them from responding to an emergency there."

No need to add the word "eventually."

Mr. Chambers, who is white, said the people who work out at his gym typically belong to minority groups and feel uncomfortable in the presence of law enforcement.

Why? Are they doing something illegal?

Fortunately, unless they have an exceptionally large and dedicated clientele, these types of establishments normally don’t last long. This cretin just opened the business last year; I’d say it’s better than even money that space will be a cobwebbed, littered vacancy by 2018.

Sounds like public accommodation discrimination to me.

However, it cuts the other way as well.

If you permit the bakers to refuse to bake the cake due to “sincerely held beliefs,” cannot that same “right to refuse service” also be extended to other classes of people like...say, cops and military?

Baker didn’t choose to become a cop whose job description calls for serving entire community. Apples and oranges question.

According to Progressive catechism, all cops are white heterosexual males because only white heterosexual males can oppress.

So it’s a gym for gay black men with warrants.
