The LGBT community has a major issue with Texas Sen. Donna Campbell's proposed bill to add a religious liberties amendment to the state constitution, which critics say would essentially give business owners a license to discriminate against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender people.
<---snip---
"The 2013 measure was supported by the anti-LGBT group Texas Values and opposed by Equality Texas," Lone Star Q stated. "Texas already has a statute, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act, that provides strong protections for religious freedom. However, critics say Campbell's proposal would go much further than the Texas RFRA."
"For example, while the RFRA says government 'may not substantially burden' an individual's religious freedom, SJR10 states only that government 'may not burden' an individual's religious freedom. Removing the word 'substantially' would significantly alter the scope of the law . . . Also, unlike the RFRA, Campbell's proposal doesn't include exceptions for enforcement of civil rights laws."

Yes, it would. So what? I have no problem with homo business owners refusing service to straight customers and only serving gays. Course, since it's the left that's always pushing non-discrimination in public accommodations, they should have to live by it, I guess.
If i smoke, i am kept out of businesses... Isn’t that discrimination on a behavioral basis?
Sucks, doesn't it?
How about this for a bill?
All PRIVATE businesses have the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
Let the public determine if they stay in business or not by choosing to spend or not spend their money in that business.
Where the the sign where they have right not to serve you do they have in Texas

I agree that the LGBT “community” has major issues but I am way beyond giving a rat’s a$$ about them. I am tired of hearing what less than 2% of the population thinks about anything.
It is almost like liberalism is its own religion.
So true ever notice at the nut huts they all feel they are sane.
How about freedom to decide who you will associate with, trade with, work with. How about freedom to control your property, your business. How about freedom. Has absolutely nothing to do with religion. If you get on your knees and beg just to have your little bit of “religious” freedom, even that will not last.
I am a Christian.
If the USSC understood property ownership rights, that would already be the law. I would add your outstanding bill the following amendment: PRIVATE business may hire and un-hire anyone for any reason as well. The business owner owns the whole business,including the jobs. (However, that would not invalidate any contract, and the owner is free to engage in collective contracts as he sees fit.)
Imagine how the country would look different if having a tattoo on your face and a bone in your nose had real economical consequences. Or if you informing people about one's sexually deviance was not a "right", and consequently firing a worker for defaming the company by association with their perverted exploits was a legal and enforceable right.
What if you walked in wearing ONLY a shirt and shoes?
Morality ain’t determined by majority vote. God determined morality and set it forth in His Word. He abhors homosexuality and commanded that the Israelites destroy them in the OT. In the NT, He makes plain that unrepentant homosexuals are ALL going to hell.
The problem really ain’t the homosexuals but what’s apparently a majority of Americans who have sunk into depravity and agree with them. Of course, they’re just as much hell-bound as the homosexuals they support. Calling God a liar has consequences.
Amen!
If you were in a gay bar, no problemo!......
GO. SOMEWHERE. ELSE.

There should be no exceptions to genuine religious freedom. “The Church of the Choom Gang” has no rights, but genuine faith (whether Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, or any other real faith) is an absolute. If these perverts are being discriminated against, they should be grateful for the opportunity to make sure that their money goes to those who don’t find them disgusting and revolting.

If I go into a business and see any of that, I complain to the management that it looks unprofessional. They usually just nod and apologize but nothing gets done.
