Homosexuals Angry at ConocoPhillips |
If you mean "marriage" of two men, or two men holding hands and cavorting like a teenage boy and girl in love, yes.
Other than your tastes, what's wrong with that?
Other than your tastes, what's wrong with that?Everything.
Are one of these fellas you?
Everything includes you, you know. Can you be a little more specific, or do you rage blindly?
That's like saying the seatbelt in your family car could be used for your dog.
What exactly is wrong with homosexuality?
This falls under the libertarian approach as enunciated by Larry Elder... if a company wants to be foolish enough to discriminate against a group and lose their business (and talents)...that's the company's (usually foolish) decision... we don't need an army of bureaucrats to make this sort of market force do it's job.
The thing is, if the company is going to have a non-discirminate policy, then it is not "more than equal" rights for anyone to NOT be discriminated by the company - be it for religious believe, race, ethnicity, or gender, and in this case, sexual orientation. The policy just says everybody is equally NOT to be discriminate by the company.
Or take the libertarian approach you described, a company can discriminate against anyone for any reason and let the market sort them out.
But to make a policy that only selectively allow discrimination of say "sexual orientation" is not either.
Now, I should trade absurdities?
