Connecticut Becomes First State To Boycott Indiana Over LGBT Discrimination Law

This said, as every story to pop out about gay rights is posted from the Huffington Post.

 

Muslims are "victims" to the left, they remain silent and or deflect when Muslims shove gays off rooftops. But they NEVER call them homophobes, that title is reserved for white Christians.

 

Connecticut doesn't have the rights to ban its citizens from buying products manufactured or sold in Indiana, if they do it really goes to show how totalitarian and tyrannical progressives really are.

in a civil war, if the state of Connecticut city slickers liberals from the east coast, come strolling down those dirt roads in the Heart land of Indiana, thinking its going to be a cake walk of a war.

 

Federal law does not prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation; 21 states (and Washington, D.C.) have enacted their own legislation outlawing it.

Why is there selective outrage against Indiana when neither the Feds or 28 other states recognize discrimination based on sexual orientation as prohibited.

 

Nor does Connecticut, or any other state of which I'm aware, presume to do so.

State-funded travel to Indiana is within the purview of each state, of course.

 

Yeah and how do they plan to do that? the state has no power over transportation or where it goes once it leaves the state.

This is really nothing more than a symbolic nonsense gesture made by Connecticut.

 

When the state foots the bill for travel, it obviously has every right to determine "where to."

In any event, the American public, states such as Connecticut and Washington, the NCAA, corporate interests such as Walmart, and the Republican mayor of Indianapolis have made their point that discriminatory laws such as that being considered in Indiana and Arkansas are morally wrong, and those states are now taking steps to protect the rights of all Americans, whilst other states contemplating similar laws are now on notice and will be able to avoid similar snafus.

 

You're implying that most Christians have ever read or care to read the bible. The bible has been very rarely relevant to Christianity outside of occasionally being quoted to make a sermon sound better for a long time. Segregation was viewed as God's intent by many southerners, and a religion is really just the superstition of a mob, therefore it was a religious belief of the region.

But really the bible has declared just about everything both moral and immoral at different points. It's already full of contradictions, plus the different interpretations and translations makes a book that says everything and nothing. Parts are ignored, some denominations add or remove books, etc. It just so happens that modern fundamentalists like those particular scriptures and incorporate them into their religious tradition.

 

What liberals fail to realize is this law will protect the Muslim baker or pizza guy who refuses to put a picture of Muhammed on his goods.

 

They make it all about Christianity... When asked their excuse for non-Christians who share the same view of this as a Christian, you get no answer. I asked several times today, to all the religion bashers. Every one of them skated around it.

 

There will be a leftist existential crisis when the first Muslim shop owner uses the Religious Freedom Restoration Act to avoid servicing someone's gay marriage.

 

These people and groups are too stupid to realize that they are in turn discriminating against people based on their religion.

Ironic.

The left treats Christian Conservatives worse than they treat Islamic terrorists. This is a fact.

 

Well obviously! That's because if not for their double standards . . . they'd have no standards at all. No standards, just feeeeeeeeeeeeeelings.

 

Wrong. No religion has any taboos about baking cakes.

No, it is nonsense.

Those who are fixated upon such their imaginary, ever-expanding "Left" (that now even includes Wamart, apparently) are monumentally deluded.

Again, there is no Christian stricture that prevents any baker from making a cake for anyone, and neither he nor anyone else can just falsify and play a phony religion card so that he can discriminate.

Over 70% of Americans are Christians, and the vast majority have no problem with treating everyone decently.

 

If it's just a cake, why didn't someone just pick one up at the grocery store....or get a box of Sara Lee, and make it themselves?


We both know why. A Wedding cake is a very large focal point in a Marriage, and is not "just a cake". Everyone takes pics of it, everyone asks where you got it...perhaps the Baker didn't want to be known as the "Gay Wedding Cake Supplier" and get all those calls in the future? It's more than "just a cake" as you guys try to dishonestly portray it.

 

When its a GAY WEDDING cake for a GAY WEDDING when you belong to a religion against GAY WEDDINGs it is. Last I checked we have freedom of religion in this country. Am I correct?

Its not that they are against baking a cake for a gay person. Its that they are against baking a cake for a gay wedding. There is a difference, youre probably a smart guy, it should be no problem for you to recognize that one.

The Constitution isnt for protecting what "the vast majority have no problem with". Im against giving child rapists a fair trial...but that is their Constitutional right. Im against people burning the American Flag...but that is their Constitutional right. The Constitution isnt a popularity contest.

Just because YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU and/or the "vast majority" has no problem participating in gay marriage does NOT mean you can FORCE someone else to participate.

 

Your world view only serves to reinforce my points. It's obvious you know NOTHING about the Bible, why do you pretend to?

 

The willingly obtuse are always so amusing.

Is it? Mike Pence has come under the ire of Apple and Wal Mart for his perceived anti gay actions. Yet both Apple and Wal Mart regularly do business with nations where gays
have no rights at all. Their outrage is selective, to say the least.

Wal Mart has been taking small steps to improve their image, including raises for their employees.
This can be seen as another self serving move from the people that climbed into bed with truly evil people (the Chinese government) long ago.

You must be some enlightened holy man yourself that you can spot those playing a "phony religion card".
Most people wouldn't presume to judge the religious beliefs of absolute strangers but such considerations don't seem to bother you...do they?

No indeed but some do and if they truly believe gay marriage is an abomination what are they to do when Bruce and husband want this guy to bake them a gay themed cake....or else be ruined?

Most people would simply go to another business (letting their wallets do the talking) but for some of the nasty pieces of work on the left that's not nearly vindictive and draconian enough, is it?

 

I actually know a lot about the bible. I grew up in a fundamentalist family and was incredibly devout until my growing personal sense of ethics diverged from christianity and my skeptical mindset lead to doubt and eventually disbelief.

I'm just looking at it from a more detached perspective. I'm free to find flaws because the idea of biblical perfection isn't sacred to me. I can tell you, the bible is quite obviously a collage of texts from authors with radically different ideas, from early polytheistic yahwists to the aggressively monotheistic, warlike, and legalistic Israelites, to the countercultural and pacifistic goals, to Paul's reformation that removed Christianity from. Judaism. They don't mesh.

I can also tell you that a preacher usually has two or three favourite books that he quotes from, skiing with some occasional psalms and proverbs, and the rest is rarely even brought up.

 

It does with regards to Homosexuality.

Romans 1:26-28 - 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done.

While most Christians don't care what ever deviance you do, they do care when you try to drag them into your sinning as a homosexual. I simply don't care who you sleep with natty, man or goat. However, when anyone attempts to drag me into their perversion in a feeble attempt to legitimize it, that's where we have a problem. I like most Christians believe in "live and let live" as you'll need to explain yourself sooner or later. For some perverse reason gays seem to take delight in being intolerant of Christian beliefs and publicly forcing them to violate those beliefs. For every "Christian" owned bakery there must be a dozen secular owned ones, why not just go there in the first place. NOPE! They are going to attempt to legitimize their lifestyle by "forcing" others to agree with them. Christians I know don't actively pursue gays trying to convert them or convince them their lifestyle is wrong, yet gays actively attempt do the opposite, so who are the intolerant bigots? I don't care what you do in your bedroom and with whom, I really don't it, doesn't affect me. As long as you don't attempt to make it part of my life. Gays are out there poking other people in the chest with their finger demanding we accept your lifestyle, do that and you'll likely get some push back. Why do you expect a different result?

 

Christianity does not forbid baking cakes for a wedding.

If you do not believe that, please cite the biblical injunction against it.

Nope. It says nothing about baking cakes.

 

I am sufficiently conversant with the Bible to know there is no taboo in regard to baking cakes.

 

Nope, just to stop whining and bake a cake if your business is baking cakes. A cake does not bestow legitimacy, the law does.
