Interesting that Pence is already reconsidering. Must be lurking somewhere on this thread...

Pence seems like a reasonable dude. He's prolly caught in something he wishes he wasn't and was led there by a group more extreme than him that's in a fight with an equally extreme group from the other side.

poor CROS.... I'm starting to think you guys aren't really looking for him... 😠

I put a bowl of milk out back every night hoping he returns. Don't give me that crap. We are all hurting and missing him.

I'm sorry... 😞

No he's being inundated with hate speech from those who believe their rights trump others.....and as our Gov. yes he is concerned over the possible fiscal ramifications. That being said I hope like hell he stands his ground here. The liberal media has a VERY BAD HABIT of choosing who gets their voice heard and this issue is a PRIME example. There are MANY who back him on this....they just don't get the microphone

Must have the turntables huh?

Where it's at... 😟

[quote=teedubbya]Okay contradicted myself above but rather than hide it by editing I'll just admit I do think the law is likely unnecessary, unless somebody can give me specific examples of this is intended to fix. [/quote]

I tend to agree that the law was not needed. That being said neither is the Federal Gov. needed to stick it's nose in where it doesn't belong, they through our courts forced private business owners ( Not corps. ) into conducting business in a way they clearly weren't comfortable with....one question, what was /is stopping these folks from seeking out another business who will welcome them and their beliefs?? Let the FREE MARKET do its thing, these businesses will either succeed or fail based on their business practices.

Dies that apply to blacks?

It's okay bros......we're outa room anyway

[quote=TMCTLT]I don't give a ratz azz about what Dan Savage or any other savage like yourself believes....se that's the beauty of living in a once free society....we get to be free thinkers. NOT a group of people who get pushed around by trolls like yourself. When science can irrefutably show all of us that a "Homosexual gene" exists.....we can redress this subject. You say I'm stupid, with all your college tuition paid your not smart enough to figure out that it may just come down to who they PREFER to have sex with.

Yet another of my sincerest hopes.....Dashed

I've always been confused why people think homosexuality is a "choice". To be so sure that they are "choosing" to be gay, you must have some inside knowledge that I don't have. I mean, I didn't "choose" to be attracted to women. I just am. Are you "choosing" to be attracted to women TCBY? Is that why you're always so angry?

As for a homosexual gene... they've had some success in fruitflies (no pun intended).

And I'm really curious where you draw the line on what the difference is between "preferring" to screw someone of the same sex and being sexually attracted to someone of the same sex. That seems like the dumbest differentiation without any distinction ever identified. It's meaningless to try to peg it as a "preference" as opposed to sexual attraction.

See this is where f*cktards like yourself get off into the weeds of discussion, NOONE said anything about Johnny Homo shouldn't be allowed to exist, HE IS however allowed to find a business to service him( sorry couldn't help it ) the way he sees fit. Then everyone's happy, but they / you think you should be able to force someone to do something against their FREE WILL[/quote]

So where do you draw the line? At what point does a business get to discriminate against customers AND/OR employment based on"free will". Can you not hire someone for their race? Can you not serve someone for their race? Can you not hire someone because they're christian? Can you not serve someone because they're christian?

Laws are in place to protect from the "tyranny of the majority" and while you may like to pretend you're in the minority, and some poor put-upon white male... you aren't. These laws are in place to ensure that a person can live in a community. If all the business owners in some small town in Indiana decided not to sell to gay people, you essentially run a person out of town by making it impossible for them to purchase goods or services in the area. Sure, a florist is a stupid shop, and not a "need". But what if all the grocery stores refused to sell to "the gays"?

does this law apply to Hot Azz Lesbians ? If it does I am OUTRAGED !!

If it applies to Bull Dyykes, well ok..

wheel,

That's a lot of reading ^^ is this about the fight the pacers started at that Pistons game a few years back?

Outrage

Can we still deny service based on no shirt or shoes?

depends on who's not wearing them.... 😟

by that logic, wouldn't being so sure that homosexuality isn't a choice also require some inside knowledge that you don't have?
