Jewelry store sign prompts same-sex couple to ask for refund

Sorry, a refund on previous business is beyond the pale. It's theft of services based upon a scheme IMO.

If I find out my auto mechanic is a pedophile do I then have a legal or moral opportunity to demand refund for past service? Hell no.

Cheers

Shall we list the companies that Christians have boycotted over things they found "offensive"?

JCPenney

I think there are too many glass houses without mirrors in this country.

 

I'd like to know the answer to both questions.

There is nothing wrong with not wanting to do business with someone who wants to take away your rights.

 

If business is hurt by serving gay people, it is a legally legitimate reason not sell to them.
I doubt the rightwingers really even knew about them selling to gay people, they probably never even thought about it, so they wouldn't have had a loss in business from them. Also, there is nothing to say rightwingers were the core clients for the store, and were being put off by gays purchasing there.

 

you're right, there was no indication that they were the core.... but now that leftwingers are up in arms about someone daring to think differently..... they may.


Now remember, this store provided excellent service... the only thing the gays are upset about issomeone thinking differently.


gay agenda - if you can't find actual rights violations, start persecuting people for the way they think

 

Well it is Canada, the other barbarians at the gates...

 

If they did something unlawful, let me know.

Otherwise, if you don't want to deal with controversy, keep you controversial statements to yourself.

 

I don't have a problem with any of this. Gays boycotted, and conservatives countered. This is the way the process ought to work.

 

Haha! OOooooohhhhh....Canada! Scary!

Good god, that's ridiculous.

 

From the article:

How is displaying a pro traditional marriage sign against gays? They made the rings, they can't be against them too much.

So these women never do business with Catholics, Muslims, or the ethnic groups like Latinos who are Catholic? Get real ladies.

No, these ladies can't be serious. It's their EFFing store.

If this is true then it can't say much about the person she's marrying.

This is the thought police in action. Obey or pay.

 

People need to stop being so sensitive about everything. Not everyone is going to like you or care for your way of life. Get over it, move on. Gays are offended by straights, and rednecks are offended by city folks. I really don't care. Keep your nose out of my business and I'll keep mine out of yours. Seems to me if everyone had this attitude we would have less laws, less criminals and much more happiness. The icing on the cake is live the way you want. Think what you want. My wife does what she wants and so do I and if one of us does not like it, well that person can leave.

 

So are you condemning the 10,000 other same sex couples who have been married by the actions of one?

We can pull up plenty of shady dealing by hetrosexual couples over marriage services ... should that mean that all hetrosexual couples should be banned from marriage or banned from business transactions?

 

Gay marriage is controversial, so should the pro gay marriage folks reap what they sow? This jeweler had a belief and he aired it. If the jewler was a Muslim and had all the Muslim garb, it wouldn't take much to know he would be against gay marriage, what's the difference? Better yet, should an athiest demand his money back from a jewler if he finds out after he purchased something that the jewler is a Muslim or Catholic because the athiest doesn't believe what the Muslim or Catholic believe in?

 

Whoa....hold on there for a minute. Don't you know that Mother's Day is offensive to the adopted kids of gay men because those kids don't have a mother?

 

About the same as our second Amendment rights have when every European, non-American poster wants to bloviate about our "gun culture"...

 

Please enlighten the world how the sanctity is under attack.

 

If you're able to return the product as new, why not? Hell, yes. One should be able to return a product if they don't like it for any reason.

 

I disagree.....especially if the product was custom made for the specific client, which sounds like the case of the rings.

 

Really? That's a new one to me. Can you give some real world examples?

 

Your alleged gay sister and cousin must be extremely proud of your support?

 

Well, I can see that. They should still be able to get a partial refund though.

I always love that- the anti-SSM crowd always seem to be surrounded by gay friends and relatives.

 

Why should the store owner be on the hook for the price of the rings? He may never be able to sell them, which makes them worthless to him. He was not impolite or did not refuse service. He agreed to custom make the rings. The clients agreed to pay for the rings made to their specific requirements. That is a contract. The personal opinions of the parties involved have no bearings on a contract.

 

Personal opinion aside..this is all really petty.
They do business without discriminating and using free speech to say what they support. If they are hurting anyone its their own business. Still, the gay couple had a right to want a refund.
Sounds fair for all involved.

 

How do they have a right to a refund? I can not think of a single business that would custom make something for me and would give me a refund if I decide I do not like it....or if I changed my mind. That is the purpose of a deposit. Don't come back to collect the custom made item = loss of deposit.

 

The materials can most certainly be reused, yes?
