Mississippi's Modern 'Jim Crow' Law Now In Effect

Mississippi's Religious Freedom Restoration Act now allows businessowners to turn away LGBT customers if they claim their existence conflicts with their religion.
 
The law passed in April and was quickly signed by Republican governor Phil Bryant; it went into effect July 1. Several cities in Mississippi, including Jackson and Hattiesburg, are challenging the insidious law by passing resolutions affirming all patrons are welcome. Equality Mississippi is distributing stickers that proclaim, "We don't discriminate: If you're buying, we're selling."
 
The American Family Association has found a way to take umbrage with the stickers.“It’s not really a buying campaign, but it’s a bully campaign, and it’s being carried out by radical homosexual activists who intend to trample the freedom of Christians to live according to the dictates of scripture," AFA's Buddy Smith stated, according to Pink News.

Here we go again, same old shit again.

Yep, here we go again, same old stuff again, from the one-issue primitive.

Does one suppose that in real life, Wills talks about anything else?  Like the weather or the stock market or music or a book or his next-door neighbor or his job or what he thinks about the circumference of the earth?

Anything other than this?

The guy's gotta get a life.

4. That's the problem with religion. It has been given some kind of mystical status. As if

religious beliefs somehow, by right, supersede any other beliefs. It's a brilliant marketing campaign the religion pushers came up with, but, like many other marketing campaigns, it's bullshit.

That's the problem with homosexuality. It has been give some kind of mystical status. As if being homosexual somehow, by right, supersedes any other thing. It's a brilliant marketing campaign the homosexuals came up with, but, like many other marketing campaigns, it's bullshit.

As I understand it, black people really don't like this cultural appropriation that gays do.  Equating Jim Crow laws with this, negates their struggle.  Next, the gays will appropriate the Fugitive Slave Act.  It's too much.

Yes, but there aren't enough black members at DU to raise a serious stink over it.
