When I dine in an Indian restaurant, I find fish, poultry, lamb, and vegetable dishes on the menu but no beef dishes.
Do I have a right to demand a steak dinner in an Indian restaurant or a ham and swiss cheese sandwich on rye in a Jewish deli?
I believe I’ll go into a halal market here in Houston and demand bacon, beer and dirty magazines.
How about if a gay couple comes in and orders off the menu?
Can you refuse to serve them due to religious objections?
Only if they are in the business of selling those things to everyone else.
The deal is you cant ask them to provide something or some service that is not on their menu. However you could go to a Jewish bakery and ask them to decorated a cake with “Allah protect Hitler and screw the Jews”.
As in you assume that Liberals care about that.
The Issue is Not The Issue, The Issue is The Revolution.
Whatever advances Liberalism is there cause.
To them, Laws are made of Pudding, Not Iron.
No - unless they are being "inappropriately" intimate. Then they must leave.
“ham and swiss cheese sandwich on rye”. Only in muzzie restaurants may you demand that. Chances of leaving alive for even thinking that would be an insult to moo-hamhand.
I don’t think it is an apt analogy if they don’t normally serve beef (for example). Most of the lefties I’ve been arguing with are framing it as “If you serve beef, but won’t serve it to me” as the foundation for their complaint.
In the case of the Washington florist, she sells flower arrangements, but she declined to accept a work order to create a particular floral arrangement because she found that specific request repugnant to her moral sensibilities.
We need to be careful and precise in our analogies (IMHO).
Exactly.
Or a kosher or halal butcher.
Must they sell pork if a customer wants it?
If not, are they violating the Civil Rights of pork eaters?
Those who oppose this law must support forcing the Indian restaurant to sell beef, the halal butcher shop to sell pork and the Buddhist vegetarian restaurant to sell meat.
So I could ask them to decorate a cake with a pic of mad Mo huh? If they have cakes that is.
They have, or used to have, the right to say, “No. I do not choose to blaspheme. You can buy the cake and decorate it yourself, or go elsewhere.”
I am appalled but not surprised at the number of people who repeat the issue without realizing that they are participating in a Revolution that will be their own undoing.
Whatever it is, it's coming and it's picking up speed.
“I don’t think it is an apt analogy if they don’t normally serve beef (for example).”
It is apt.
The bakery does not normally sell the product in question either.
The Indian restaurant does not sell beef due to religious principles.
The halal butcher shop does not sell pork due to religious principles.
That stuff is in the basement.
A wedding cake is not a gay sex cake. Selling them a cake with bride and groom on it should suffice. If they want to have something different, they can change it or get it somewhere else.
“The deal is you cant ask them to provide something or some service that is not on their menu.”
You are claiming a same sex wedding cake is, and has been, on the “menu”?
That stuff is in the basement.
I thought that was where they keep the ammo and explosives. Or am I getting it mixed up with the mosque?
