Shopkeepers who don't discriminate are somehow "bullying" a certain kind of Christian

Thanks for the history lesson but I was responding to a post about why these people may have felt they were being bullied.

Well I hope I am not being billed by the word for this stunningly dull analysis but the article in the OP deals with the relationship between private parties moreso than state action and the person who started the thread asked a specific question related to them. If a Jewish baker wants to not sell me a bagel (love how you stereotype Jews from your high horse by the way), then that is fine--McMuffins taste so much better with that pork on them anyway.

Sure because your personal viewpoint involves a lot of fine print with gays being all 14th amendmented and religious people not being all first amendmented as that is clearly what the Constitution means. You forgot to add in an arbitration clause to your sign.

You are probably right because most southerners have never even heard of the civil war, let alone have an opinion about it. They are a very forgive and forget people.

Some merchants apparently feel pressured by the gay sticker sellers to buy and display gay stickers. Did you not read the OP?

No there really isn't. You are confusing personal and legal with private parties and government actors as best as I can tell.

again, the sticker sellers are leaving at least 1 business with a different impression.

If they get upset about somebody not selling them a wedding cake and sue the people, then they started the snowball rolling. People fight back, particularly religious people. The gays are up in the face of religion, and then cry persecution when someone responds. democracy is not a one sided affair, limited to the positions and constitutional contortions of the left.

No I really don't need the law to allow me redress nor do I want a lopsided system of laws that allows one person to stand out side and protest a business and a business owner not allowed to refuse to sell them a soda pop when they get thirsty. One person's right to express an opinion and act peaceably on their beliefs ought not be greater than another person's right to do the same. I do not want a set of laws that favors one type of political thought over another. Democracy and the society it serves benefit more from friction than it does from group think.

 

I didn't say Mississippi but please stop being disingenuous. Don't make me post the stories on the bakeries and photographer for the 5th time.

Once again for the 3rd time if it ended with these stickers to recognize pro gay marriage businesses it wouldn't be an issue. But the history of targeting businesses for destruction by the gay advocates proves the opposite to be true.

 

They are whoining because they see the bullying of homosexual advocates in other states and know this sticker is not the end of it based on the evidence seen in other states.

 

Boils down to the homophobes saying

"You have the religious freedom to hate gays...but we oppose people expressing it if they don't hate gays."

Which clearly shows it's about their hatred of gays...not their love of their religion.

 

love it, boy did that law backfire on them...

amazing how they try to turn this into a "war on Christians" because businesses want anyone to buy what they be a sellin, regardless of who they are....



.

 

Boils down to saying "We have ethical and moral standards we will not break to make a buck."

You are only putting on the display the far left's hatred, intolerance and bigotry against those who don't agree with them.

 

Be proud. There are many who share the same line of thought when it comes to working with anyone to make a buck

 

I wont even bother posting picture of people that like to discriminate... lol

 

You lost me with the second paragraph. A business can discriminate in Mississippi. Perfectly legal. It is also perfectly illegal to put up the sticker.

What the person quoted in the OP wants is for businesses to discriminate against gays and that it being all hush hush. He wants all businesses to do this so gays have nowhere to go. Today there is a thing called the Internet, if it wasn't a sticker some enterprising gay person would start a website listing pro gay businesses. And we would be having this same conversation.

So go ahead and discriminate in Mississippi, just don't expect to be able to do with out people disagreeing with you.

 

Hey, if you will do business with anyone and have no moral standards other than making money, have at it. Those guys certainly agree with you.

 

Can anyone help explain this to me?

There is no sane explanation.

 

What is confusing?

 

In the Bay Area they have Pink Spots which is basically a yellow-pages-type publication for pro-gay businesses. Available online or in print.

 

Then it sounds like the AFA needs to direct its ire at gay activists rather than shopkeepers that just aren't willing to succumb to bigotry.

 

and Hitler agrees with you...

 

eloquently said

 

How else will gays know unless its labeled outside. Jim crow eliminated alot of confusion for blacks with signage.

 

Sums it up perfectly.

 

Face it you're boohooing because they are being called on their bigotry and being put in he open for it.

You can't take the heat get out of the kitchen.

If you won't sell to a certain demographic don't be surprised when someone else makes a buck at your expense by welcoming that demographic.
