Why a gay man like me is going to make it hard for Indiana businesses to exercise their ‘religious


liberty'

Good editorial piece getting at the pernicious nature of this law.

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2015/03/why-a-gay-man-like-me-is-going-to-make-it-hard-for-indiana-business-owners-to-exercise-their-religious-liberty/


So, perhaps Indiana now needs a law requiring I.D. cards for all citizens — yellow for the hets, pink for the homos — to protect both the souls and the profits of faith-full, freedom-loving Chamber of Commerce members. Or maybe gays should be required to tattoo their foreheads for quick identification. If so, the same should go for straight people who practice oral and anal sex, since what offends some religious beliefs is “sodomy” defined more broadly, not merely loving someone of the same gender.

What about Jews? Some conservative Christians believe God does not hear the prayers of a Jew. If He can discriminate that way, why can’t a car salesman refuse to sell a Chevy? And what about adulterers? Indiana’s new law is so broad, it clearly protects the freedom to deny service to adulterers if that offends sincerely held religious beliefs. If so, and there’s going to be some sort of I.D. system adopted, it could incorporate a scarlet “A.”

Skidmore is gay?  :whatever:

I think the skidmarked underwear primitive is citing the writer of the post on Raw Story as being gay. :whistling:

The gay mafia isn't going to be happy unless they have unrestricted freedom to drive anyone out of business who doesn't cowtow to their agenda.

As a bacon minion shouldn't I be able to demand a BLT at a kosher deli?  I see no difference in the law.

Texas is sure hurting from all the conservative policies down there.  Other states are taking notice  :-)

This law simply guarantees that the government will be held to a higher standard when it chooses to discriminate against business owners for their religious beliefs.

I was always under the impression that any business had the right to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
They didn't even need to disclose the reason.

Somehow, that statement just doesn't seem right.
