Then by law I would say the shop owner theoretically could deny service to a gay person. It would be as stupid as the other places doing it but I wouldnt call for them to be closed down over it. They also probably get sued and skewered in the court of public opinion"It's as if the Drumpf Administration is made up of the worst and unfunny parts of the Cleveland Browns, Washington Generals, and the alien Mon-Stars from Space Jam."

Re: Nice Planet XII: It's Cruel to be Kind!
I put "won't make a cake for gay marriage" with smoking in a restaurant. I say let the owner of the establishment decide what they want. If they want to limit who'll give them money economics will decide for them soon enough.
If they want to allow smoking, meh. I'll be somewhere else. (The "cooks and servers" argument doesn't hold with me: Find a different place to work. When the place runs out of cooks and servers they'll change policy.)The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.

I think it might actually be better if we let the bigots self-identify like that. Make it easier to know who to ignore.
Obviously no public facility should be able to discriminate like that.Cornell University

Originally posted by Kepler View PostIt's not a habit, it's an identity -- it has to be in the category with serving blacks and Jews. If you're OK with the restaurant having a "no blacks, no Jews" policy, then you can have your "no gays" policy.

Re: Nice Planet XII: It's Cruel to be Kind!
Originally posted by UncleRay View PostPretty sure that gender and sexual orientation are both federally protected. But political affiliation is not. Which brings up my basic issue with discrimination laws: it is OK to discriminate against some, but not others. Or put another way, The Republican baker cannot discriminate against the coffee-shop-owner-bride because she is a lesbian, but the lesbian coffee shop owner can discriminate against the Republican baker. Legal and fair are two completely different things.
But like I said below, it would be easier if we let the bigots do their thing in broad daylight. The Klan's legal and it's not making their numbers increase.Last edited by Kepler; 06-15-2016, 03:59 PM.Cornell University

In reality, it happens today. Proof? Pulse in Orlando had it's identity (gay bar); that's not a place I'd ever walk into. Not my thing. To each their own. Que sera, sera.
But remember, the "Kwik-e-mart" down the block is not a public facility. City Hall is a public facility.Last edited by The Sicatoka; 06-15-2016, 04:03 PM.The preceding post may contain trigger words and is not safe-space approved. <-- Virtue signaling.
