Owner's anti-gay views cause furor over soon-to-open Sellwood grocery store (OR)
Oregonian ^ | 04/03/2014 | Harry Esteve

Another controversy has erupted over a Sellwood-Moreland business, this one over the owner’s views on gays and same-sex marriage.

Facebook and other social media sites have exploded over a soon-to-open fresh meat and vegetable store called Moreland Farmers Pantry. Neighbors and nearby business owners, once excited by the prospect of the new shop, are now backing away.

“They’re choosing to open a business in a very open-minded neighborhood,” said Tom Brown, owner of Brown Properties and president of the Sellwood Moreland Business Alliance. “I think their personal views are going to hurt.”

Those who were once the promoters of tolerance and diversity have now become the haters, the persecutors, and McCarthyites. They are now asking the question: "Do you NOW. . or have you EVER . . supported traditional marriage?"

“They’re choosing to open a business in a very open-minded neighborhood,”............ “I think their personal views are going to hurt.”

The first part is diametrically opposed to the second part.

Amazing how a Pro-Christian view is now “Anti-Gay” and that somehow means you cannot own or operate a business in this “Free” country.

Uh, hey Sparky.... how, exactly, do you reconcile your statement? "Open-minded"? I do not think you grasp the concept...

Typical “We have the right to our opinions and beliefs. You, on the other hand, do NOT have the right to your opinions and beliefs if they don’t fall in line with ours.” Amazingly they don’t/won’t see the hypocrisy in this at all cause we’re (at least me) all haters, bigots, homophobes, racis’, etc. Head shake.

It's called 'COGNITIVE DISSONANCE'. Liberals are very familiar with it.........................

the closeted homosexuals of the effete media are pushing to make homosexual marriage ENDORSEMENT the default normal.

Advertisers need to be attacked for accepting this.

If Mozilla is a search engine and the company endorses homosexual behavior, what search results are they producing in their firefox product?

“a very open-minded neighborhood”

These people are utterly and blissfully unaware of their blatant hypocrisy.

“Open-minded” means faggies dominate.

Gays - the new intolerants and hyper hypocrites who are licking their lips while looking at the prospects at what they can do to your children. Welcome to the new world, to the new world...

Obviously, residents of this “open-minded” neighborhood need to get together at night, put on hoods, and burn down the offending enterprise.

the religious have fallen hook line and sinker into the trap and surrendered the debate. The battlefield is NOT religion it is logic and reason. By surrendering all the logic and reason as to the reason homosexuality is abnormal and not accepted by a responsible normal civilization, the left EASILY marginalized all objections as “mere faith” and not part of the public debate.

If the products are good, and the prices are competitive, they'll do just fine. If we've learned anything, these kerfuffles pass within a couple of weeks.
