No, since political beliefs are a choice. Huckabee Sanders was not born as Aunt Lydia, she chose to be that way. There were people working at the restaurant that Huckabee Sanders is actively working to strip rights from. She chose to be that way.

Do you have scientific evidence that being gay is not a choice?
Political affiliation should not be protected, if the business is ignorant and bigoted and doesn’t want to serve a segment of the population, then it is on them and Americans have a right to voice their opinions and boycott the ignorant bigoted business owner.
Or to give them more patronage, as will be the case with the Red Hen.

That is fine too, I just know whether they discriminate because of politics, it doesn’t matter if it is Democrat or Republican, I will boycott them because what they are doing isn’t right. If you want to associate with intolerant bigots that is your choice, my choice is to stay away from narrowminded, intolerant nuts.
You, too. When did you choose to not be gay? How hard has it been for you to live with that choice?

The next time I am in Lexington, which should be in the next year, the only restaurant I will eat at is the Red Hen.
 
No. How stupid are you? How in the world is that what you took from my post? Are you on drugs? Omg, folks.

Who are you to make the determination as tho what beliefs a person has are chosen or genetic or learned?
You branded quickly political beliefs as "chosen", but now are hysterical at the suggestion that gayness is not. If you are capable, you'll at least ponder it a bit.

Political beliefs can also be learned, chosen but also "genetic" based on your brains wiring.
People may feel inclined to be Democrat or Republican based on factors beyond their control is all I'm saying.

Your need to call me stupid because you disagree or don't understand.....choice or genetics?

He is an elitist that is intolerant of opinions that disagree with his. That is how he is wired.
 
Veteran status and citizenship have made their way onto the big board. Why not political affiliation. Should a business owner be allowed to hang up sign saying "No Democrats"?

Only if they don't mind doing half the business, and being out of business within two years.

Right. But should it be legal?

As far as I know it's currently not illegal.

Uh huh... but should it be? Why? Why not?

If we want to go down that road, a baker who would serve gay customers but refuse to bake a cake for a gay wedding should not get in trouble, because he is serving the customer who did not choose to be gay, but refuses to participate in a voluntary, chosen activity.

There should be no protected classes at all, but we are going to have them then thing you choose for yourself should not be included.

Should there be any protected classes? Or just citizens?
 
It's not a "protected class" when Americans enjoy the freedom inherent and guaranteed by the the Constitution. The democrat establishment tried to use the KKK to intimidate Blacks back in the 20th century but it was wrong. The out of control anger lefties seem to be able to hang on to a year and a half after the election is really starting to be scary. Thank God left wingers aren't in charge or we would all be in gulags.
What an excellent mirror Limbaugh descriptive tactic for the Alt Right/Russian opposition on the Far Right to smear their enemies with their own sins.

Or, to quote the sage of the playground, "I'm rubber, you're glue. What you say bounces off of me and sticks to you".

Why? That makes absoutely no sense from a business standpoint. The money spends the same coming from an R, D, alien,.

So if a man chooses to wear a dress, you think businesses should have a right to kick him out?

Would this even been a question if not for a couple of tRumpkins gettin' kicked outta places? Was this discussed over the sign in Texas? Nope.

Butt hurt tRumpkins, that's all this is.

Let the free market decide. Business owners who let their biases cause them to not hire qualified employees and to not provide services to paying customers will end up ceding the market to competitors. That is better than having government bureaucrats pick winners and losers.

Lol the right trying to educate on tolerance :laugh:

Tolerance failed. The right made sure of it. Tolerance is naive.

Good for you, I hope you enjoy it, where did I say that you should discriminate against gays? I am perfectly fine with the government prohibiting discrimination against gays. Politics should not be a protected class. Do you have the scientific evidence or not?

Me personally, I don't feel it should be legal or illegal. I don't feel it's the government's job to prevent people from making stupid choices....especially in business.
 
When was it that you made your choice to be straight? If you had to consciously choose to not be gay, then I have bad news for you...

This is not the issue. You claimed political beliefs are CHOSEN.

I challenged that.

Do you have a thoughtful answer or not?
Hate is taught. So are politics.
