Taxi drivers turn down gay fares for religious reasons

that is working for me.... fire them for refusing to work and get new drivers.

so you think companies should hire scabs like in the old days?

funny... i thought the world was supposed to get better.... not deteriorate just to satisfy today's version of the robber barons.

Is there a strike going on?

The drivers are saying, "I will not participate in the celebration of behavior that I consider morally repugnant."

That's the thing, it is their own personal attitude, what they find morally repugnant. It is not part of their religious doctrine. Again, show me where it says in the Bible, the Koran, or any other religious document that lays out tenets, where does it say you cannot give people who are homosexual or are supporting a homosexual lifestyle a ride in your cab? It's the drivers' personal feelings, not something required by their religion.

You do understand that no one was refused a ride in a cab don't you? Your reading comprehension has to go that far. Otherwise you are a lost cause.

The cabbies aren't objecting to fares, but advertising. They object to their cabs being used to advertise a position that they do not hold. There is no civil right to advertise. All venues have had the right to choose what advertising they will and will not accept. Children's magazines have the right to turn down advertising for an escort service.

Let me guess, you making an unsupported claim is proof you are right.

Let me show you how to refute an argument.

From the decision of the New Mexico Supreme Court.



Wow, look at that, the law only prohibits discrimination under some conditions, not all.

Then we have this.

What was that? It would be perfectly legal for a black photographer to discriminate against a KKK rally?

I guess that makes you wrong, doesn't it?

Next time I suggest you read something, read it, you might end up looking halfway intelligent.

Where do the words appear that you can discriminate? I only see the words "prohibit or prohibiting discrimination". Next time I ask for a quote you better provide it or place your stupidity on display like you are now doing.

I keep forgetting that you don't read posts that are longer than you can put on Twitter.

This hypothetical suffers from the reality that political views and political group membership, including membership in the Klan, are not protected categories under the NMHRA. See § 28-1-7(F) (prohibiting public accommodation discrimination based on “race, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, spousal affiliation or physical or mental handicap”). Therefore, an African-American could decline to photograph a Ku Klux Klan rally.

I keep remembering you frequently lie and cant do as you were told. You were told to post the quote. Where are the words "you can discriminate" or "you are allowed to discriminate"?

 

[Asclepias]

Remember when I told you to read the decision, and you didn't, you just claimed, without evidence, that it doesn't say what it says? Does that remind you of your tactics in the thread where you claim you haven't been saying that people have no rights unless someone hands them out?

Remember when I asked you to provide my quote before and you couldn't? History is repeating itself. You like to make up lies then attempt to weasel your way out of them when called on the carpet like a towheaded 1rst grader. Next time I ask you to provide a quote do just that kid.

In other words, you didn't read even the little bit of the decision I posted.

IOW you cant post the quote of mine you claim I made? Typical.

They are not "their cabs", the cab company owns the cabs - not the cab drivers.

You really need to stop moving the goal posts every single time I prove you wrong. You started this by saying that:

No it doesn't stupid. It forces you to render the same services to everyone if you have a business. Were you deprived of oxygen in your youth?

I actually bolded the part of the decision that directly contradicts your claim, so you have to pretend that, unless the court actually said "You can discriminate," you are still right.

 

[Asclepias]

The owners handled this correctly in my estimation. The drivers should not be forced to drive cabs advertising something against their religion unless the company says they have to. In this case the company reassigned the drivers which was a good call. The drivers have a right to lose their job if that had of been the companies position as well.

So what you mean is that no where in the decision does it say "you can discriminate"? Can you repeat that louder so everyone knows you are a liar?

Let me rephrase that for you, you fucked up and won't admit it.

I can be wrong. Thats part of being a human. The problem is that you lied. Nowhere in the decision does it say the words "you can discriminate" or "you are allowed to discriminate". Why couldn't you produce that after claiming thats what was in the decision?

Remember the case a couple years ago of a Muslim barber who refused to cut a woman's hair ?

Go read the story here: Faith McGregor Sues Omar Mahrouk, Muslim Barber, For Refusing To Cut Her Hair

Then take a look at the readers comments. It's the Huffington Post, so you can figure the vast majority of the readers are libs.

Notice they almost all support the Muslim, and some even goes as far as demanding the woman apologize.

I guarantee you, had the barber been a Christian these same libs would be going nuts. Especially if the woman were gay. Hypocrisy on parade.

I find it hard to believe that any woman anywhere would want to force someone to cut her hair. What we all try to do is find someone to cut our hair who is a great hairstylist and someone who shares our vision of what we want. It's possibly very different for a man, but a woman wants someone cutting her hair who is on the same page as herself. So, if there is/was a situation where a woman made a big deal out of a man who refused to cut her hair for religious reasons, I imagine it was set up for the media: not a real situation at all. Something Muslim haters set up it appears.

I wouldn't think anyone would want to force themselves on a business, however, we sure have been seeing aggressive gays who force themselves on businesses who don't want their business.
Like you say, maybe they set up those businesses.

But there is no uproar from the left.

I wonder why.

Some drivers of the zone-based taxis operating out of Cleveland Hopkins International Airport have notified their companies they don't want to drive the cabs for religious reasons, citing rooftop placards that are advertising the upcoming Gay Games. Hopkins released a statement saying that two of the three taxi companies operating at the airport -- Ace and Yellow Taxi – were informed by several of their drivers they will no longer participate in the airport's dedicated taxi cab program.
Patrick Keenan, general manager for the third company, Americab, said two of his drivers also have opted not to drive because of the Gay Games ads. The drivers are Muslims, Keenan and Hopkins spokeswoman Jackie Mayo said.
The drivers told their companies that their decision was based on religious reasons, Hopkins said in its statement.

Didn't you know? Muslims are a protected class. It's open season on Christians.

American liberals will always make excuses for Muslims, while at the same time trashing their own culture.

Except it actually doesn't. If you don't believe me, read the actual decision where it laid out all the legal ways to refuse to attend weddings even if photographing weddings is the service you offer.

Damn, I did not say that the decision said "You can discriminate." So, not only were you wrong, which you refuse to admit, you are actually lying about what I said in an attempt to make it look like you have the high ground.

Last chance to come off with a modicum of dignity.

You said it right here moron. I asked you specifically where it said you can discriminate and you told me in the decision.

Where does it say you can discriminate? Please post it so everyone can see.

Feel free to read the decision and prove me wrong.

They have turned down no fares. They turned down advertising. There is no civil right to advertise so these drivers were within their rights. Muslim cab drivers cause a lot of problems with what they will or will not accept as a fare. This just isn't one of them.

There's a guy in the UK who will take blow jobs as fare

That's sweet. Where did he take you?

Actually he's a porn star. But well played

Not wanting to drive around with a sign advertizing a pervert event isn't bigotry but freedom of choice. ...

You worship a perverted pedophile 5 times a day, pisshead.

[RoshawnMarkwees]

All of the left wing nuts are afraid to challenge muslims even though muslims are way less tolerant of many left wing nut causes than Christians or repubs.
Hypocritical wussy lefties.
I'm waiting for a Christian group to purchase a billboard that says Allah is a phony and muslims suck! and sign it as sponsored by American atheists or freedom from religion organizations.
That'll get them blown up.
