Will Republicans ever learn? Indiana governor to sign bill allowing business not to serve gays

[bripat9643]

Not true at all. It's only unconstitutional to deny service based on race, religion, or national origin.

Not anymore. The No Jews or Christians gas station is open for business.

Hmmm, Christianity and Judaism are religions, numskull.

And discrimination because of deeply held religious beliefs is about to be legal there.

No it's not.

Oh, but it is. Once you open that bag all the cats run out. Let the games begin.

Horseshit.

 

[NYcarbineer]

Liberty, the conservative watchword, always seems to get applied as a liberty to deny others rights.

Weird.

There is no right to be served by a business.

Yes there is. The Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Even Jan Brewer was able to figure out it was bad for business


Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed a bill Wednesday that would have allowed businesses that asserted their religious beliefs the right to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.
The controversial measure faced a surge of opposition in recent days from large corporations and athletic organizations, including Delta Air Lines, the Super Bowl host committee and Major League Baseball

What I'm seeing here is hate filled bigots, spewing their vitriol against people who simply wish to conduct their lives and businesses according to their closely held religious beliefs. Your are the ones trying to force your value system on others and doing it in such a hateful way, I think it's inexcusable.

Remember the same values that give you the freedom to be you, also give me the freedom to be free from you. I see this as nothing more than atheist trying to further their persecution of people of faith, just another attempt by the left to destroy the 1st Amendment. The freedom to exercise one's religious beliefs as they see fit and the right of citizens to associate with the people they chose, are bedrock principles of this country that the left has been chipping away for decades. Now that the pendulum is swinging the other way you're having fits and calling names like spoiled little children.

And if businesses in Indiana openly or underhandedly maintain a position that they will not do business with gays, other people and other businesses will choose not to do business in Indiana

So those wishing to hold a convention will choose venues in other states. Sports leagues will choose other locations for major events

It works both ways

I understand it works both ways, it's your side that thinks it doesn't and wish to force your values on others. But as more and more states adopt similar laws to protect their religious majorities from state sponsored violations of the 1st Amendment, then people who agree with them will seek to do business with them. People are getting fed up with radical liberalism and radical atheist.

Making bigotry a religion is hardly what America is about.

There is a legal right, but there is no right in the absolute sense. The public accommodations act violates the rights of businesses. Furthermore, it only protects based on race, religion and national origin.

Being a bigot is protected by the Bill of Rights. Furthermore, not wanting to deal with gay horseshit doesn't make you a bigot. It makes you normal.

Yet the persecution of the religious majority is a staple of the religion of radical liberalism and radical atheist, but that's ok because it's your side doing it, right?

 

[BlindBoo]

The Bill is redundant. Gay Americans are not protected under Indiana's PA laws.

It's all for show.

They have no such right. Only individuals have rights. There are no group rights.

Come on Republicans

I know you love to pander to your gay hating base. But are you ever going to learn?

Indiana Governor Mike Pence is ready to sign into law a bill allowing businesses to refuse service to gays for "religious reasons" . All this ten days before the NCAA Final Four comes to Indianapolis. So what was once an opportunity to show the country what a great location his state is for major events, now becomes a poster child for "We hate gays".
See how many Final Fours come back to Indianapolis. Superbowl? Forget it Mike

But at least you got to score points with your gay hating base

Republicans just can't help themselves.






Pence to sign bill allowing businesses to reject gay customers - CNN.com

I don' think irritating 2% of the population is going to destroy the economy of Indiana. Furthermore, gays brought this on themselves by suing businesses in other states that didn't want to be involved in their weddings.

That is where Republicans continue to shoot themselves in the foot

It is ONLY 2% of the population.....who CARES?

An majority of the US now supports gay rights and gay marriage. Businesses and corporations do not want to align themselves with the "fag hating" crowd. People and businesses will refuse to do business with Indiana because of this legislation

Whenever there's a measure on the ballot against gay marriage the polls always show the public is against it, and then it passes by a wide margin. People lie to pollsters about the gay issue because they don't want people to think they are bigots.

You are living in the past

The last three times gay marriage came up for a vote, it won

By June, the Supreme Court will make it the law of the land

You mean people will be allowed to do business with people they chose?? How unfair is that?

Don't you think they should have to advertise who they won't serve though?

Hopefully this will become reality also

Bill Would Return Prayer to Illinois Classrooms

School prayer would come to public classrooms in Illinois if some state lawmakers get their way.

Chicago area Reps. Mary Flowers and LaShawn Ford have joined other lawmakers in Springfield to sponsor a bill that would allow public school students to voluntarily pray at any time during the schoolday.

The bill -- HB0165 -- would amend the existing Silent Reflection and Student Prayer Act and would allow religious-based meetings.

If enacted, the bill would take effect immediately.

Some of the greatest support for segregation was from religious groups who believed "GOD" didn't want the races to intermingle. How is this any different?

 

[BlindBoo]

a bill that would allow public school students to voluntarily pray at any time during the schoolday.

So the Muslim students can bring their prayer mat to school then? Maybe the schools could announce their call to prayer over the PA?

Let'em pray and no the school cannot be involved. But the bill does allow religious meetings on school grounds also
