Texan Bigotry

Ain't that the truth

[Ben Kenobi]

It's like the pharmacist who doesn't want to fill birth control prescriptions. Get another ****ing job if you hate it so much. We live in a society. If a person can't deal with the modern social norms, then they should GTFO.

Exactly. That's what I was saying earlier. Conscience rights take priority over convenience. If you don't like this one pharmacist, go to the on across the road.

[Sava]

blah blah blah
Nobody cares BK. If anyone needs to GTFO, it's you.

But I'd rather you stay so we can use you as an example as a terrible person... for the children.

[Ben Kenobi]

Nobody cares BK. If anyone needs to GTFO, it's you.

Yes, yes, we've already established that you hate me. Why is this news?

But I'd rather you stay so we can use you as an example as a terrible person... for the children.

Right, a terrible person because I believe that sodomy is sinful. I see. So I should obviously go to the gulag for my transgressions.

[rah]

Yes, Ben can unite us all.

[Ben Kenobi]

I'm always amused when I see people complaining about being persecuted but then defend their right to do it to others.

So you're saying that someone choosing not to bake a cake for another person is 'persecution'? Plenty of other options in the phone book.

No, it's been established that there's a reason why they go to the Christian baker. In order to set up a scenario to sue them. .Put them out of business because they are Christian.

[Ben Kenobi]

Ben...you cannot apply religious principles to secular equality. (well..YOU can, but you are in the wrong)

I disagree that marriage is a secular institution. It's not. It's a religious principle and a sacrament.

[rah]

Should that baker refuse to serve Adulterers? Or those that Envy their neighbors?

[DinoDoc]

Ben why is this case relevant to the discussion that was going on in the thread before you shoved the thread onto this topic?

[Ben Kenobi]

Should that baker refuse to serve Adulterers? Or those that Envy their neighbors?

Freedom of association says they can. So yes.

[DinoDoc]

Should that baker refuse to serve Adulterers? Or those that Envy their neighbors?

For the record, they served gay customers before. They just refused to do work for gay weddings.

[rah]

Maybe we should make them wear large "G"s so it's easier for them to discriminate.

And again, Ben's logic says they should be allowed to not serve Blacks. No bigots here.

[Ben Kenobi]

Ben why is this case relevant to the discussion that was going on in the thread before you shoved the thread onto this topic?

It's relevant because they are happening for the exact same reason. They are attempting to foist gay marriage on Texas whether Texas likes it or not. Unfortunately, this is a consequence that I WARNED ABOUT earlier with the abrogation of DOMA. It took about a week for them to prove me 100 percent right.

I believe you were one of the people who said you supported 'marriage being left to the states'. Well, either that was bull**** - or your position is in serious difficulty here.

Again - Reynolds points out why it's crucial for the United States to have one definition of marriage - the ultimate goal here is one definition - gay marriage, in every state. This is just one way to get r done. State by state.

Maybe you don't see it but I do.

[Ben Kenobi]

And again, Ben's logic says they should be allowed to not serve Blacks. No bigots here.

Should a club be allowed to refuse black people? White people? Absolutely. Does it make a club bigots if they exclude people of a particular race? Is it sexist to have a woman's sewing club? Or a men's club?

Again - freedom of association protects the business owner here.
