The freedom to perversion or the freedom to practice religious tenants in a free market. It is almost like liberalism is its own religion,

LGBT to Donna Campbell: Your Proposal Would Discriminate Against Us

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?

Your Proposal Would Discriminate Against Us

Sucks, doesn't it?

[rfreedom4u]

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.

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 had a long,looonnngg conversation with some facebook friends about this very issue. I tried to explain that a person's personal religious beliefs are held closely to them,and are a part of who they are; many choose not to compromise those beliefs in their business. I cited the incident where a bakery was forced to close and was sued into bankruptcy by a gay couple because the business owners refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. i was told by one person who joined the fray that the owner "reaped what he had sown"; the person I was speaking to was joined by her husband and her friend,who told me that to refuse was judgmental, biased and bigoted; personal beliefs should not be permitted when it comes to business. I calmly tried to explain to them that it's not discriminatory to refuse a SPECIFIC service to a person, only if that person was turned away and the owner refused to serve them at all. I pointed out that the gay couple in that story could have patronized the store in any other way,had a birthday cake baked for them,been served cookies and coffee,or treated in the same fashion as any other patron. That's not being discriminatory. I was informed that,yes,indeed,that's judgmental and discriminatory. I provided examples,tried to be as clear and concise as possible, but ended up having to agree to disagree. I absolutely could not make them understand that not compromising your personal beliefs is not discrimination, and that businesses should be allowed to exercise those beliefs when they feel their faith is being infringed upon. Crazy...just crazy.
These are good,family-oriented people with a family-based business and children. They have gay friends and maybe that's what colored their decision; I don't know.
In any event, I was glad that I at least tried to make a point.

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.

It's not like this is a new concept.

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.
