He can boycott gays, and I can boycott him.
That's the standard operational procedure folks.
Let's see if he caves when that happens...
A version of Shoot, Shovel, and Shut-up applies here. Just do what you want with you business. Don’t announce your intentions.
He should take on a minority interest partner with the moniker of Mohammed.
Let’s throw the MSM into a tailspin and see how they handle it. Send a gay person into a store in Dearborn, MI, and see the owner’s reaction. Since a huge proportion of Dearborn is Muslim, and their religion prohibits homosexuality, I just wonder how the Lefties would handle the story.
The pizza place and this guy are completely different stories. The pizza place didn’t want to cater/take part in a celebration of sin. This guy just doesn’t want to fix their cars? To compare the two is dishonest. I am sure the pizza place wouldn’t cater to a whole host of events they find sinful....but the individuals just ordering service? Not Christian.
If any of these opinion writers or reporters had any balls, they'd go into the black or Latino community and ask them whether they would be willing to serve openly gay customers. The answers would not be too politically correct. But no, let's just find literally every white person in America who doesn't like gays and highlight it and navel gaze about it. A sad joke.
While I don’t think the government has any business telling any business whom they can and can’t serve, I do disagree with this guy and lean toward the points made by the blog quoted in the story. As a Christian I would not refuse to serve a gay customer who came into my store merely because they were gay. Same if they were diveroced or were someone I know had cheated on their spouse or never called their elderly mother to check in on her. I don’t believe that would be a good Christian witness. We are all sinners and Jesus certainly served and healed sinners. The gay marriage thing is a completely different kettle of fish. I don’t think any Christian should ever provide any goods or services to facilitate a gay wedding - I consider that blasphemy.
And of course, “Allahpundit” is getting his moderate digs in. He spends more time attacking conservatives than he does attacking Liberal Fascists.
There is a big difference between the Pizza & Bakery and this dude. What this man is saying he will not serve NO gays - period. He is not being asked to partake in any gay celebration. Unlike the Pizza and Bakery who were asked to create and partake a role in a gay celebration. Like the Pizza, she stated she has no problem serving gays just that she does not want to participate in any matter because of her religious convictions. Big difference here folks. Unless there is a gay car - is there?
He should be able to refuse business to anyone for any reason with no explanation needed. Someone else can open a business that will cater to or refuse others.
Unfortunately the turdburglar lobby is no different than the anti smoking lobby who managed to force every bar owner in the state to prohibit smoking in their businesses. They could have easily opened bars that catered to non smokers but they didn’t because forcing all to their will was their true goal.
I'd put up a sign -- "No shoes, no shirt, no codpiece -- no service!"
Just say you won’t fix the Prius and you’d get it done without all the drama.
he and every other shop owner is covered by the thirteenth amendment:
“Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
“involuntary servitude” - if he doesn’t want to do the work, he doesn’t have to
A major study had found that gays are less then 2% of the population? Yet, we need to hear about or even see this whole gay thing EVERY DAY? Go be gay, I don’t care. You’d think they are the majority with news, TV etc..
He can boycott gays, and I can boycott him.
