Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed
Well let me clarify with an example then. There was a big deal made when the funeral of a gay guy had to be moved *on the same day* from a church that seated 400, to a building with about 100. The other mourners who had gathered were screwed. This is because some in the church decided to blackmail the priest at the last minute.
Now, i'm sure you can see the extreme inconvenience this caused, even though the funeral did take place in the end. This is still oppression - "the state of being subject to unjust treatment or control."
Let's say a gay couple actually wanted this **** pizza place to cater their wedding and were refused. That is unjust treatment, regardless what else happens with the wedding
And I spoke out against the state governments banning SSM. And yes, I'm now defending these religious folks. Why? Because Rights are there to protect those things that everyone else finds distasteful. Rights are not there to protect things that everyone agrees with.
And no. You are either being oppressed or you are not. One of the few things in which there is no grey area.
