Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed[W:1581]

Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

You don't get to determine what another person considers a religious act
As was mentioned the courts and society as a whole. What society swept under the carpet decades ago, blatant discrimination against the disabled for one, gays for another is no longer tolerated.
Nor should it be.

'Secular progressives' -the new boogeyman for the Extreme Right. :lamo Used to be those commies but now it's those 'secular progressives'. Do you check under the bed each night for them as you used to do for the dreaded commies?

secular progressive.. commie...same diff.

Again, neither the courts nor society get to decide for an individual what is a religious exercise to him
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

LMAO Defend marriage, reparative therapy works ohhhh rah!

Defend marriage is not an attack...its a defense of status quo. I don't care what you do in your private time or who you do it with. We have already established you can be as gay as you want to be. Won't make it right or 'normal' but you should still feel free to be gay. No one is trying to prevent that.

How many people do you see banging that reparative therapy drum?

Speaking of commies, Obama hasn't checked in on the pizza shop incident yet. Anybody else see an IRS audit in their future. Maybe a visit from OSHA and a couple more alphabet agencies. I'm sure the NSA has a lock on them

You have protections for your religion. As have in Canada.
But it stops when you are practicing discriminating while in business.
Your problem is that you believe business should be able to practice discrimination, based upon their personal religious beliefs.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

If I cared, I'd do a Google search of just what comes out of Bryan Fisher's mouth over at AFA. And then I could quote some lobbyists in Indiana, etc. Some of these groups are proudly anti-gay and proudly opposed to their interests. If you think it's a lie that "family" "Christian" groups don't oppose any public policy that would extend or guarantee rights for gays, then you're not paying attentioin. In the public arena, a small number of vocal and well funded "Christian" groups oppose EVERY proposal that would benefit the LGBT community, and favor many that are not in their best interests. Conservative "Christian" republicans like Pence have perfect 100%/0% records on issues of interest to LGBT. So a lot of this is just politics.

It's too bad that Christians may get defined by those intolerant blowhards, but you clearly have no problem defining gays and liberals by a small number of vocal liberals.

Is that your standard? So I can look up a few vile comments from bitter angry hate filled intolerant assholes that support gay marriage and you will own that?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Liberal's main argument: gay marriage doesn't effect you.

go tell it to this pizza guy who has been physically threatened and had to shut his business down. THAT'S how gay marriage effected him.
and what if next week a jewish kosher deli refuses to cater a gay wedding and THEY are run out of town. Aren't THEY effected by gay marriage.

just proves my point about liberal arguments: they are all disposable after they get what they want

No, his actions affected him, his/his daughter's saying they wouldn't serve pizza for a same sex wedding, which most people realize they don't mean just legal ones either. And it isn't like they're hurting after just two days. They can't even show any legitimate threats. Funny isn't it how all these places get threatened, but not one of these businesses has actually really gotten damaged, nor the people attacked?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I concede that Christians treat homosexuals better than ISIS. Have a cookie.
Many Christians...MOST Christians treat homosexuals with love. We care, we hope for their happiness, and we love them. We don't change our personal beliefs with regard to the act of homosexuality or gay marriage, but we still love them care for them, and hope for their happiness. THEIR happiness...as defined by them. We simply don't condone. and that makes a whole lot of bitter angry hate filled people gay lose their sad ****ing little minds.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Well, no - they're getting donations because of the outrageous response (including death threats) that came from "possibly not catering a wedding".

This should teach people to stop having false reactions to something that had nothing to do with them.

After making more tax-free money in a week than their taxed income for the year would have been [emoji38]

Why would it be tax free?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

I really feel for that poor Pizza guy. Maybe next time he'll keep his bigotry to himself. You can say whatever you want - just don't start whining when you suffer the consequences.

And you just proved my point about almost every conservative in the world. Nothing trumps property rights.

Yeah, look who turned out to be the winners and the losers in this.

The pizza shop owner have $700,000 to live on and the other side has a bunch of ulcers to take medicine for.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

So give them your money to make a point? I don't understand that line of thinking. If it's a politician, a charity, or a preacher it makes sense.

By this logic, I can have a profitable business by simply claiming I won't serve gays and then moan about how the ebil libruls are ruining me.

Sure. You can do that and you know the really cool part about that? There are a whole lot of bigoted angry hate filled small little people that will emphasize your point should you decide to do that.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

If you support the right of pizzerias to deny service to gays, vote GOP.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

Except the right of the people to form a govt of their own choosing.

I never said they couldn't. Again with the lies and dishonesty. It's not helping your argument. But bad governments can be chosen, and I don't endorse those. Endorse all the bad government you want, just try to employ a little more intellectual honesty in your arguments.

You missed the point. You said most Christians weren't launching vile diatribes. True. Most gays aren't either, but you said they were. There are radicals and blowhards holding any position under the sun. Movements aren't defined by them.

However, if you want to know why gays target those vocal "Christian" family GROUPS in the POLITICAL ARENA, look at who was standing with Pence when he signed the bill, what they said, and you'll have your answer.
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

It isn't about the legality, it's about the morality. The pizza shop owner never said he wouldn't cater a same sex wedding because same sex marriages are illegal

Not in Indiana they aren't.

This made me laugh out loud. :thumbs:
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

So, have we got a verdict yet?



DOES the pizza joint serve fat people, or lazy people, or teenage boys, etc?
 
Re: Indiana's 'No Gay Wedding' Pizzeria Has Closed

That is one of the most stupid lines of reasoning I saw in quite some time on this board.

Surprised?

It was written by the poster who defended Limbaugh by confusing Plato with Socrates :lamo

Probably. Why? Have the food police made it illegal to sell pizza? I thought they were focused on limiting access to sugary drinks.

Are those things I have listed sinful?


Why, then, are business owners cherry picking which sins they find abhorrent, and which they are willing to tolerate in the pursuit of money?

Is being a teenage boy sinful? I don't know. I have 3 of them. Was I supposed to eliminate them before they got to be teenagers?

Is being fat sinful? Not sure. Ask the food police. They sure don't like obese people.

Lazy? Hell, everyone's too lazy these days. I don't even write Christmas Cards anymore. I buy them preprinted with our names on them.

Dont be foolish. There are more than a few that weep and wail and gnash their teeth at any and everyone that dares to not cave and capitulate and if you think there arent a large number assigning their hatred to ALL Christians...you arent reading threads on this site very closely.
