I think you meant the 14th. The 16th is income tax.You mean like the gay bashers constantly berate the gays and make it out like the gays are an abomination on mankind? You think only gays masterbate? WTF is wrong with you?No, the reason people are becoming hostile towards gays is because they are tired of constantly having the gay lifestyle rubbed in their faces. They are tired of having their kids brainwashed with gay propaganda in schools. They are tired of being forced to cater to gay events. They are tired of seeing gay pride parades and grown men masturbating in public. They are tired of being hectored by gay activists.
None of what that poster typed is any reason to discriminate against anyone.
All that poster did was list petty and childish excuses why that poster wants to discriminate against gay people.
And none of it is a good excuse.
This law will be ruled unconstitutional on the grounds that it violates the 14th amendment. I will be surprised if it ever is actually implemented.
The 14th Amendment doesn't guarantee you access to someone's property. Moron.
You're not making any sense.
The government can't legally pass laws that are in violation of our constitution.
Which is what the people of Indiana have done. They've passed a law that's in violation of the 16th amendment and it will quickly be ruled unconstitutional.
The government of Indiana now has a law that treats some people different from everyone else. Which is a violation of the 16th amendment.
I don't know what you mean by private property but it's very clear to me you don't seem to have actually read that document and understood what it means.
Fear of homosexuals rules your day.So...why be a coward about putting a "I don't serve.........." in a prominent place at your business entrance?
You know why, you stupid slut. That's like putting a target on your business so sleazy operators like you can attack it.
In other words, you want them to be able to keep their dirty little secrets and humiliate unknowing patrons publically. Sweet.
Where do you get the idea that you're entitled to know everything you want to know about a business? Should we put everyone on a polygraph and force them to testify about their sexual orientation?
You homosexual lovers act exactly like goose stepping Nazis.
Sounds like a strawman you're building.
If a restaurant doesn't allow small children say - they post a sign. If they insist patrons must wear a shirt and shoes - they post a sign. If a place does not allow dogs - they post a sign.
But if they don't serve gays - they don't post a sign.
Go figure
If they don't allow small children, they aren't going to be assaulted and picketed by swarms of angry homosexuals. Most people are civil, but not homosexuals. We have firmly established that fact in this very thread.
Had you not cleverly edited my post, you too would agree that there is no place in a free society for the concept of branding what some, not all, people view as undesirables
Liberty is my right to access the public market place.
Not endorsing any side of this discussion, but liberty, in theory, could also mean my right to run the business I paid for without compromising my religiously held values.
Just an observation...
Wonderful. The no Jews or Christians gas station is in business. Have fun kiddos.
BTW, if you don't serve faggots and others, expect to have your business tagged, because it soon will be.

Religion is protected. So are women, and races......but not gays.......yet.
Here's the issue I have:
I see how gay people want more than just the right to marry, some of them insist on having more rights than everyone else. I support treating them equally, not preferentially.
Did I say liberty is my right to access? If so, my bad, I meant one example of a liberty is the right to access the public market place. But yes holding your religiously held values while providing product to the public market place would be another liberty. Not saying it's not a liberty. I'm subjectively weighing which is harm. The extreme homophobic religious view appears to be it is sacrilegious to sell products to homos, much like some think it's sacrilegious to eat or even touch cloven meat on the Sabbath. IOW those folks believe that their religion makes it sacrilegious sell to gays. Thus they believe they should be passing judgement on gays, by refusing them their goods. Clearly there is harm there. On the other hand the guy buying the goods is not harming he's paying...Liberty is my right to access the public market place.

Liberty is the freedom to hold views without government intervention, no matter how noxious they may appear to the majority. Thus, homophobia can be expressed, even to the point of petitioning the government to deny homosexuals right and privileges held by heterosexuals, such as marriage. The fact is such a petition will not have the force of law if the principles inherent in the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to our Constitution are to have any meaning.
if there was ever an Avatar that fits the poster yours is it....Your MO is a constant spew of personal attacks.
Do you think that makes you look smart?
I am a Christian and a heterosexual. I do not believe Christians are undesirable. I believe those who wrap themselves in righteous indignation and a warped understanding of true Christian values in order to justify denying others access to businesses serving the public are bigots. No more, no less.Had you not cleverly edited my post, you too would agree that there is no place in a free society for the concept of branding what some, not all, people view as undesirables
In fact, I do find some people undesirable, liberty means in fact that I can do so without government telling me otherwise. I don't always go about my daily life letting people know if I find them undesirable, simply as a common courtesy. But I will make my beliefs known, liberty means that nobody can change my beliefs, or supplant them with their own.
But what I see here is both sides making it clear that A) Christians are undesirable because they are bigoted towards homosexuals, or B) Gays are undesirable because they unfairly and in some cases in a passive aggressive manner force a Christian business owner to serve them. Outside the bounds of their faith. So in essence you let the branding of others as "bigots" by certain posters in this thread pass, while not condemning it. This conflicts with your position.
There is no place in society where others can or should dictate the terms of another's liberty because it conflicts with theirs.
(By the way, I didn't edit your post. That's against forum rules.)
Anyone who is as hostile about it as you is almost certainly a homosexual.
Furthermore, there is no right to be served by any business.
I oppose all marijuana laws specially the Federal Government's laws on marijuanaThey believe that we should only be allowed to do what the government specifically says is allowed, and everything else is not permitted.
Liberty is the freedom to hold views without government intervention, no matter how noxious they may appear to the majority.

So, just as an observation, why is the minority dictating those terms? Liberty isn't something that can be dictated by a majority or minority.

I'm going out on a whim here and saying that not being served at a proprietorship by a Christian business owner does in no way impact how or when a homosexual can get married. I have already made clear that laws banning gay marriage are unconstitutional, but not being served by someone does not in fact stop a homosexual from getting married. Even still, open discrimination is wrong.
The fact is such a petition will not have the force of law if the principles inherent in the Declaration of Independence and the Preamble to our Constitution are to have any meaning.
The Declaration of Independence itself has no force of law. If you want the specific phrase "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" you can refer to the 5th Amendment of the Constitution, "life, liberty, and property."
It's also ironic how conservatives and liberals bandy about the Constitution, assuming it makes them an authority on such. Does it really? All I see here is one side using it to infringe on the liberties of the other.
No. Liberty is not the liberty to harm others.Liberty is my right to access the public market place.

If those merchants want to discriminate based on their warped interpretation of Christianity, they should proudly proclaim their disdain, fear and suspicions by posting a warning to all customers.
At least that way, the public could be aware that here is a merchant who does not believe that rights should extend to all American citizens.
