Indiana's Pence to sign bill allowing businesses to reject gay customers

And yet no legislator has said anything except that this RFRA (like all other RFRA's) does not enable discrimination. The attackers have been successful by lying.

I don't know if that's true or not, but if they've been successful by lying it's by citing the lies of bill proponents. So sad.
 
Religious freedom. Homosexuals hate it.
BS. Everybody loves religious freedom. The real problem is that some morons ONLY love their own religious freedom and they wish to discriminate which simply does not fly, not in an orderly civilized secular society. It is only a matter of time till they will go the way of the dodo bird and dinosaurs. Of course because we all love religious freedom, they are welcome to move to some mountain top into some compound since clearly they are unable to function in a normal society.
 
I pose this scenario again

" a Jewish or Christian man walks into a Muslim restaurant and says " I want bacon now, and I want you to make me a bacon cake with two men kissing on it for my wedding"...

should the Muslim owner have to make them " a bacon cake with men kissing on it"..????.
Yes and it still is a retarded scenario, since the Muslim restaurant will not make something like that for anyone, but the assholes you are trying to protect do not want to serve only certain people.
 
Here's the difference between the federal RFRA and those 19 states:


Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act Allows Private Businesses to Discriminate Against Employees Based on Sexual Orientation

The other states RFRAs are meant to rectify issues between a person and the government, while Indiana's applies to issues between private citizens. That means a business owner could use it as protection against claims of discrimination by protected classes. And that is the same difference between the federal law passed in 1993 and Indiana's.


Yes and it was a brilliant legal maneuver because the judiciary can't touch it with their opinions.

Tim-
 
There was no shouting. Merely the emphasis that you are mistaken to call it a bill, it's the law

Caps is shouting, not emphasis.
You can stomach discrimination is clear.
You are in favor of singling out minorities for discrimination.
You are against Human Rights .
See, underlining, fonts, much easier than shouting.
Shame they do not have Pink.
Note to self- Must talk to the owners.

Tim-

Please explain how the judiciary cannot touch it.
 
Willing to add some clarity huh Indiana RepubLies--can you say Apple, NCAA, and the conventions that have already pulled out?

In other news, these GOPs have shown us exactly what is in the National GOP platform .
 
No translation was necessary. You pointed out your own self contradiction

thats what i thought LMAO
your post fails and facts win aagin

It is bad faith to burden responsible leaders with the rants of the irresponsible fringe.
 
I know more than most, I'm sure. I certainly know He would not condone sin

Then where did Jesus talk about homosexuality- Chapter & verse please.
Get back to me when you find it.
 
...despicable and sinful behaviors like attending traditional Christian churches and engaging in heterosexual intercourse.
I have been in many churches in my time and temples and mosques, and places of worship and have yet to see on like you have described. Do you have an address, because I'd like to go there...

Discrimination is part of liberty, which means those who oppose the LAW oppose liberty. And I have not once said I am in favor of singling out minorities. You made that up (something people do when they're losing the argument). I favor allowing others to choose. Call it freedom of choice
 
Backtracking begins. Must be all those companies planning to relocate.

Indiana’s legislative leaders on Monday joined Gov. Mike Pence in saying that they planned to amend a new religious freedom law to make clear that it did not allow discrimination against gays and lesbians, while still insisting that the law did not do so in its current form.

The law, approved by the Republican-dominated General Assembly and signed Thursday by Governor Pence, also a Republican, set off a firestorm, with both critics and some supporters saying it would allow businesses to deny service to lesbian and gay consumers based on their religious beliefs. The consequences for Indiana promised to be economic as well as political, with businesses vowing to shun the state.

It amazes me that people can't figure out that the right to discriminate is not only protected by the constitution, but is essential for liberty, and for that matter, rights in general.

why... they can make it if they want to..its a matter of degree devoutness


the point is they have the right to also refuse..

agreed....
 
agreed....

It's an obvious statement. The idea that people don't have the right to discriminate in their affairs on any basis whatsoever is ludicrous and runs counter to the very idea of human rights. The very idea that you don't have the right to exclusiveness is ridiculous and shows a clear misunderstanding of the concept of rights.

Feel free to copy and paste directly from the Constitution, which support the claim you made above...
