You don't have the right to openly discriminate as a business. Why is this a debate?

It's only an issue if someone says "I won't work for you because you are gay". That is the only thing being defended here. The ability to tell a potential customer "Your way of life is wrong and I won't work with you".

So, choose which side you are on with that.



I turn down more clients than I take.

And in my line of work, I do and have worked with and for gay people.

If a person is a caterer and has an issue with a gay wedding, they are protected by both state and federal law where most of us live. A fact that I'm sure was unknown to most who posted in this thread.

I understand and respect the herd mentality in cases of vaccines.

The herd mentality in thought is another issue.
Do you believe a business should be allowed to say to someone "I'm sorry. You are gay. I do not want your business." or to be able to put up a sign that says "No Gays Allowed"?


I'll say it again.

Our constitution and our federal and state law allow some one to say, "I'm not in agreement because of my religion beliefs, with the concept of a gay wedding. While I respect your ability to have one, I would prefer not to cater it."

So is your problem with the Constitution or with the federal and state laws that give them that safe guard?

What if a gay person says, "But what if I want to give you the business?"


Like monetary business, or "the business" business?

Do you think so?

Do you have the capability of having your own thoughts?

Laws change. I want to know which side you fall on.

Please answer or you are just wasting time.

I think we're all missing the real issue here: who knew Rozner/Seacrest knew so much about stuff not related to Ryne Sandberg or Greg Maddux?

Let's not pretend that we haven't done this already. Ok?

I've been very clear here in the past on religious objections.

If you want to use birth control, that is your choice. My objection is with a law forcing me to pay for it. I won't.

If you want to have a gay marriage, then you can certainly find a caterer who can help you.

If a caterer has a moral objection based upon religious beliefs, then I'm in agreement if their objection is based upon those grounds.

Yes.

The same way I would have a problem with them refusing service based on race or height or hair color due to their "religious beliefs"



So they have to follow "your" beliefs.

They dont have to do anything. They can close up shop if they want.


In addition to the protections against discrimination provided under federal law, many states have passed their own Civil Rights Acts that provide broader protections than the Federal Civil Rights Act. For example, California's Unruh Civil Rights Act makes it illegal to discriminate against individuals based on unconventional dress or sexual preference.

Been answered numerous times.

The herd mentality is alive here.

A bunch of guys pontificating about a law that they never read, living in a state and country that already had that law.


Answer that one for me.

Go get it, boy.


So that's a yes?

Just asking, no need to get so defensive.


You stated previously that you know what I do all day. It was a stupid question.

Wouldn't you rather pay for the birth control over the cost of an abortion? Or the wellfare $$$ needed to sustain such child?

It's not clear. Please say if you agree or disagree.

Let us make it simple.

Do you think a business should be allowed to put up a sign saying "No Gays Allowed"? I'm going to go with no on that one. What about you? I believe your last sentence indicates that you believe they should be able to put up a "No Gays Allowed" sign.

I'm surprised this wasn't a repost of your twitter comments like the fifty other ones you've done in the past two weeks.

My views are pretty clear here.

What they are based upon is even clearer.

I'm enjoying the shit out of pointing out the herd mentality that makes up most of this board.

I'm surprised Seacrest is even wasting his time engaging us, shouldn't he get back to his very important busy job with his non-gay clients?

When someone hangs out that shingle, I'll be happy to answer the question.

We are discussing something totally different here.

Fair enough. You think a business should be allowed to put up a "No Gays Allowed" sign. I'm sorry it took me a while to know for certain.

Btw, if you live in IL, then you live in a state that already has a law like this.

Are you close to WI for your shopping needs?

Illiniois has Civil Unions which changes the whole application of the law and its not nearly as embarrassing, so Im good.


It doesn't change the application of the law for the quote you used for supporting it.

The Civil Unions law completely changes all laws relating to gay discrimination.


The Illinois law was passed 18 years ago and is a liberal version of the ridiculousness in Indiana.


The Illinois = Indiana thing just doesnt work here.

I think everyone here sans you, comprehended my views on the law here, across the country and IN.

Brick is asking a separate question. If that happens at some time in the future, I'll be happy to answer it.

So I should pay the mob protection money so they don't ruin my business? You might want to rethink your premise there. He disagrees with paying for birth control on religious grounds and that's your counter-argument? Basically they're going to get pregnant and then choose to have an abortion or a welfare child because I won't pay for their birth control? Try a different tack...

Some people think homosexuality is a psychological disorder and something that can be cured.

Anyone here believe that?
