Religious Freedom Bill in Indiana.

“Christian bakers, florists and photographers should not be punished for refusing to participate in a homosexual marriage!”

If you can't see the two faced nature of photographers, bakeries, and florists falling all over themselves to serve their gay customers at all times EXCEPT for gay weddings, then you truly are a bigot, Whell.

Agreed.

So suck it up to those who wish for these laws, and be a bigot spewing your hate in silence. Till you die and then I hope your failings will be forgiven by a merciful creator.

There we have it.

Anybody know anything about the present status of those "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason" signs that were once somewhat common?

They've always been essentially meaningless. You can't "reserve the right" to discriminate. Putting up a sign doesn't change that.

One thing I always liked about many of the beach bars and beach cafes on the French side of St. Martin was that there was never any of that "no shirt, no service" nonsense.

This old scene from the movie Giant has some interesting irony now that it is widely known that Rock Hudson was gay.

Can we assume that if one of the 'Pub klown kar passengers makes it to the Oval Office, we can expect to be showered with a storm of religiously based 21st Century Nuremberg laws concerning my demographic?

I think that'll depend on how the SCOTUS rules on Obergefell v. Hodges. If they find for Jim Obergfell, that will establish a constitutional basis for gay marriage. In that case, the Klowns will talk about Ban the Gays laws 'til the cows come home but they'll do nothing, just as with Roe V. Wade.

If, on the other hand, the Supremes find for Hodges, the Klowns won't talk about Ban the Gays laws at all. They'll just pass them.

If anyone is unfamiliar with Mr. Obergefell's case against Ohio, here ya go.
