Woah !!! Are you seriously suggesting that church anything should in any way trump COTUS???

Can you please give an example of this militant action. I think my definition of militant may differ from yours.

I do not think there is anything in the COTUS protecting sexual orientation. The Civil rights act protects everything but that. The democrats in the Sen passed a bill protecting sexual orientation but the republicans in the House killed it.

I think a better question would be is it OK to allow religious prejudice to be codified in law to allow discrimination.

It is my opinion that this law was written to keep people from being forced to make wedding cakes for gay couples...I'm basing it on the semi recent news articles. Gay Colorado couple sues bakery for allegedly refusing them wedding cake | Fox News

I'll agree that it is poorly written, and never should have been written...BUT, how do you write a law protecting business owners from refusing service based on religious beliefs? Those that wrote the law were trying too hard to be PC about things.

If it were written like this, there would be NO confusion..."If you are a member of the LBGT community, and want a service that the business owner refuses based on your sexual beliefs and the business owners religious beliefs, you cannot and will not sue in a court of law just to make a social stand." In other words, make your own damned cake, or find another business that is willing to meet your needs.

My words single out an entire community, making it much less PC than the way it was really written.

That has got to be the weirdest thing I ever read in my life. Ignorance is amazing. So when was the last time a gay forced his sex life in your face? Gonna guess never.

Disgusting.

Westboro church anyone? Talking about forcing crap.

So where does it end? I refuse to serve christians. I refuse to serve is islamics. I refuse to serve people with darker skin because they might be more likely to be islamic.

Sorry, but your argument fails. Its discrimination no matter how you look at it. And its sad. What if you went out for asian food and got turned away because you where a christian. You still have not answered that.

How would that work if we take LGBT and substitute it with another group? How about your group? What if there are enough business that want to discriminate against your group so that you cannot get gas or food or .... ?

Bottom line is if you own a business you cannot discriminate based on race, color, religion or age. So if the KKK opens up a ice cream shop they have to serve me (a jew) a black, a Hispanic a Muslim ... but hey, they are religious so they don't have to serve gays.


Nah, that's not discrimination.

That ^ needs to take a better look at what I quoted.

You still have not explained what special treatment is being sought.

If I were to be turned away, I take my money elsewhere. I've been turned away from some nice restaurants because I didn't have a tie...my money spent quite well at the place across the street.

We have a free market, folks...you're free to take your money to anyone who wants it bad enough. Those that accept all, will likely make more money than those that are choosey.

Forcing a church to violate doctrine is a gross violation of the US constitution.

Please supply SCOTUS rulings that force churches to accept gay parishioners or clergy.

.

Now that is comical as all get out. So if you are black go find another bus seat or soda stand??? And this gem " protecting business owners from refusing service based on religious beliefs"

Forced acceptance instead of tolerance. You can't force me to be friends with you if I don't like you...no matter what your laws state.

Every gay civil servant in Kansas should join a church which prohibits interaction with straight married couples and then immediately begin denying straight married couples service when they show up at the government agency.
