We kind of are you just seem more willing than I lol.Maybe we are almost agreeing on something here? But I can't understand what you're saying. Is it real busy at work this a.m.?Sadly, it does get you in trouble with the law. As long as someone else's rights aren't getting trampled on, people have the right to be bigots.So this suit is all pretty much hypothetical, over whether the videographers can include on their website the helpful information that they will not video gay couples' weddings. I can see both sides here. Putting up a clear statement that you are going to discriminate is going to get you in a shitload of trouble with the law, but it is helpful for potential customers.
When some of those discriminatory laws in NC were adopted, businesses that welcomed gay couples started putting up signs saying "ALL are welcome here." Maybe if more businesses that have no problem with gays were to do that--all of them--like the ubiquitous signs everywhere that say "We Accept VISA," customers would know who to choose and perhaps those who are not ready to accept gay marriage could be given some more time.
I hate discrimination personally, but not everyone objecting to this is a hateful bigot. They need more time to accept an unprecedented change in thinking about homosexuality in the past forty years. It happened so fast people's thinking couldn't keep up. Forcing it is like putting my cat in the carrier. The more you force it, the more she fights. Can a solution somewhere near the middle be found?
If if there is an acceptable middle road honestly. Either you have freedom to be who you are or you dont.
The people socially assassinating these people would be better than using the govt. It's still intolerant but at least big brother isn't gaining more power.
It's this new phone. Buttons are small and I never proof read. Big hands too
