OK Liberals ...

Nothing wrong with the baker refusing to bake a cake.
Nothing wrong with the vegan refusing to deal with meat.

I believe in the separation of church and state. What's wrong, IMO, is having a law that attempts to negate our First Amendment.

If the AZ or other backward, state-level laws pass, they would be struck down by a higher court. The bible thumpers know this. Their purpose, is pushing for these laws, is to push their hate agenda.

Then Orthodox Jews should be forced to do business as much with the Goyem as with each other.

Bravo, for the First Amendment as interpreted by Neddites.

:eusa_clap:

What? Where is that not the case?

Most people that follow the Jewish faith are happy to take money from anyone.

No, that would be the Democratic Party.
 
I posted this in the Dear Abby is a Bigot thread, but thought it was a topic unto itself.

I'm a supporter of gay rights and gay marriage, and I thought the AZ law that Gov Brewer vetoed was bad law. But I'd like the liberals to answer this question.

First, let's all agree that the law in AZ was a bad one, and no one should be able to discriminate against gay people because they're gay.

However, do we apply the same principles to the vegan as we do the Christian? If a vegan refuses to interact with meat-eaters, are they as morally culpable as Christians who refuse to interact with gay people? In this case, is the vegan who refuses to bake a cake for the meat-eaters' wedding as morally reprehensible as the Christian who refuses to base a cake for the gay wedding?

Why or why not?

Not sure what you are getting at?

If anyone opens a cake making business and someone walks in and wants a cake?

They should get a cake.

Toro, I suggest limiting your OP to single syllable words.

It was an awkward hypothetical.

"If you like your religious expression, you can keep your religious expression. Period."

meaningless nonsense

. In summary:

"Religious belief is nonsense, and we should all accept Queers regardless."

For a group than supports $Billions$ in grants for Higher Education based on the meme that, "A mind is a terrible thing to waste," the depth of liberal thought about the subject is disappointing

Yes, they would be stupid. Was that the question?

I don't think it is morally equivalent, but it is certainly prejudice. Unless your lifestyle choice is reprehensible, like being a pedophile or a murderer or terrorist, you should be able to live your life without being abused by others or without being subject to prejudice.
 
There is no need to legislate the right of a private business owner to refuse service to ANYBODY he/she chooses, based on whatever reason(s) they may have.

Ever heard of "no shirt, no shoes, no service"? Do we need a law to enforce the right of a business owner to refuse service to somebody who isn't wearing a shirt or shoes? Do we need a law to enforce the right of a business owner to refuse service to somebody who is drunk and disorderly?

A business owner can certainly refuse to serve a gay person, without using that as the reason.

The Arizona law had good intentions, but it was unnecessary.

As for the gays, if they publicly flaunt their homosexuality in an unsavory or over-the-top way, and in the presence of non-gay adults and children, then I would hope the business owner would toss their asses out the door.

Inappropriate behavior is inappropriate behavior, and the business owner has the right to decide what is inappropriate.

It's not a commercial transaction.
 
When you open a business?

That's basically not the case. You are required to follow the law.

Any law which robs you of your religious expression is technically unconstitutional.

No it is not.

By the way..Scalia's judgement said that.

How Scalia Helped Obama Defend The Birth Control Rule

And how did this discussion relate to birth control? Why was Obama forced to back down from his mandate? Why did the US Supreme Court rule that these little old nuns didn't have to provide birth control for their employees? What was Justice Sotomayor thinking?

You must admit, that a totally off-topic citation is better than most of the responces that Toro solicited.
 
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men (this includes women) are not equal, that some should not be served especially if they were endowed by their Creator with gayness or brownness or some other differentness in our eyes, that among these qualities are lots of potential reasons to deny them service that will be determined in a pursuit of our Happiness and our ideological framework of justice. Amen.

Some things are wrong, some things right, it really is kinda interesting that some can find what appears to them as rational reasons and exceptions for wrong.

As far as the use of 'queer,' anyone who uses the pejorative today is wrong. Kinda simple.

Really?

Well, I guess you'd better let Queer Nation know they are "wrong." The name had been used casually since the group’s inception, and it was officially approved at the group's general meeting on May 17, 1990.

Slogans used by Queer Nation include the widely imitated "We're Here! We're Queer! Get used to it!"

What else would it be? If a vegan opened a bakery and refused service to a meat eater they would go out of business. Like I said, it would be stupid. Sorry I didn't waste words on something so simple.
As for the AZ law, they opened it up for anyone. I could be denied service for being an unmarried mother. The law was stupid. Any more questions?

When did making stupid business decisions become illegal?
