No, I'm not and you know it. The thing is, you can't admit that I'm wrong because it destroys the foundation of your argument. Shit, you can't even tell me how the public accommodation of LGBTQ people infringes upon your rights.

And, as both you and this Indiana law amply demonstrate, there's another way to look at "religious intolerance": the intolerance of the religious.

The latest nonsense making the rounds in the far right echo chamber is that requiring cake bakers, et.al. to serve the public without discrimination is slavery.

Bless their pointy lil' heads, I think they have their hoods on backwards.

The right wing echo chamber is trying to save face after leading the base into such self-destructive idiocy.

I don't know what those homos are whining about. At least we aren't executing them!

Facts are stubborn things, whell. You can yell "you're damned wrong" all day, but the evidence will not go away.

These are religious justifications of slavery, published in the slavery era:

Indiana Republican led legislature passes a tiny fig leaf desiged to mollify critics.

Sorry kids, you've shown your hand by passing this law in the first place.

It's time to add LGBTs to the protected classes protected under existing Indiana law..

Good line TJ.
Think it's called Bachmanizing.

That's not the point I was responding to, but I suppose you know that to.

Besides, its irrelevant. The central point is there's standard today that states that can pick and choose to sell my product to whomever I want. If I've got a doughnut shop, and a customer comes in and I believe he or she is behaving inappropriately - using inappropriate language, talking loudly or acting disruptively - I can ask them to leave. Its a subjective decision that I as a business owner have every right in the world to make.
