Nashville Flower Shop Refuses Business with Republicans.

[Dogmaphobe]

I own a business. I follow equal accommodation laws.

It would be stupid not to.

 

[BS Filter]

I wish more businesses would declare these kinds of preferences so that I could avoid them.

This is getting to be common with the left.

 

[Calypso Jones]

You should have said the same exact thing to the queers who sued the Christian baker.

ECB did.

 

[toobfreak]

How are they able to do that? What is the flower shop doing that is illegal or against business law?

Floral discrimination. We need to nip it in the stem before this behavior begins to flower all over the place.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

Leftists here are all too stupid to understand the distinction, but public accommodation laws require business owners to serve all people, but that does not mean they are required to endorse certain positions by CREATING art with political messaging.

Comparing apples to actual apples and oranges to oranges, this particular baker should not be forced to bake a cake that says "hooray for the "n.r.a." or " keep men out of women's sports", but they ARE required to sell goods to people if they have already been created.

It sounds to me that these petulant bakers are just as stupid as USMB leftists.

Republicans don't need flowers to send to families of those slaughtered by gun violence

It sounds like this business owner agrees. So be it. Some call that "cutting off your nose to spite your face".

No one is questioning an owner's right to refuse service or sales.

Isn't this some kind of discrimination?

Nope.

Here's TN's Public Accommodation Law.

Public Accommodations

www.tn.gov

It is illegal for a place of public accommodations to refuse or deny the full and equal enjoyment of goods, facilities and accommodations based on Age (40+), Color, Creed, National Origin, Race, Religion and Sex. The law applies to any business, accommodation, refreshment, entertainment, recreation or transportation facility, licensed or not, whose goods, services, facilities and privileges are extended, offered, sold or otherwise made available to the public.

This law includes prohibitions on publishing, circulation or displaying any material that communicates that any person is unwelcome on the basis of unlawful discrimination.

Yes, it is. But, let me guess... this isn't fair when you guys are on the receiving end, eh?

Scratch that. Looks like it is legal to refuse to sell/do business based on political beliefs.

Restaurants kicking out Trump supporters: Unlike race or religion, it's legal

Restaurant customers refused service because of politics generally can't take their complaints to court, unless local law prohibits such treatment.

Republicans don't need flowers to send to families of those slaughtered by gun violence. They've got thoughts and prayers.

You mean all the victims in Democrat run cities?

Actually, there's nothing in TN's public accommodation law that prevents political discrimination. I can totally throw you out of my store for wearing a MAGA hat or a Swastika Armband (Pretty much the same thing as far as I'm concerned.)

TN's version of PA laws, posted above, doesn't have protections for sexual orientation or identity. CO and OR do, which is why certain Homophobic Bakers have gotten to pay big old fines.

Depends on who you are.

How convenient that political affiliation isn't included. Republicans should pass a law.

Lets see... I own a business in a red city with about a 75% conservative populous and I'm only going to sell to liberals.... Buuuuaaahahahaha
Not even Jon Taffer could save this clown.....

Nashville is very blue.

 

[Calypso Jones]

well... you know what. I don't feel any real hatred toward Anheuser Busch. But these in your face, insulting so called business decisions are nothing more than a poke in the eye to conservatives. It's intentional by their Gen X or Z brand spanking new heads and they laugh in your face as if you're too stupid to figure it out. They're sayin' 'we are doin' this and we'll still take your money cause you got no clout'. Well.. Let's play this game...and mean it. That 5.6 billion they've lost in value...they'll never get that back...even if conservatives all decide they can't live without Budlight. it's gone. FOR. EV. ER.

Yes, very convenient for the left. Republicans should fix that.

Then they'll do Jussssst fine.

Go for it.

But, based on things you idiots did not get done - build a wall, repeal Obamacare etc etc - I have high confidence, you won't.

It is. Do you think it should be illegal?

 

[Auld Phart]

The City gave business licenses to more than one flower shop. Find somewhere else.

They tried that same tactic with the bakery..
