I do not care what the law says. At one time the law said it was legal to own African Americans and they were chattel. It was the law, but it sure as hell wasn't right. Nor does the protected group concept fly with me. The constitution states all men are created equal. That pretty much says it all.
Have you seen some of these elaborate cakes? They really are works of art.
Refusing to serve someone at a restaurant is harsh. But given the political climate?
Not absurd. What's absurd in the Age of Trump?
Turning Huckabee away was a harmless, symbolic act (eat elsewhere!)
But a big statement (you're defending indefensible policies!)
We may all be created equal but we sure aren't treated equally. That's the reality.
And reality is always a work in progress.
