Why can't the gays open their own pizza shops, wedding bakeries, etc? Is it because there really isn't enough demand to strictly cater to a gay marketplace?

People being gay somewehere does not affect my life at all, why the hell do you let it affect yours? View Quote If gay people everywhere didn't affect my life everything would be fine. Unfortunately the LGBT political agenda is one that: 1) Tries to convince everyone that my deeply held religious beliefs are in conflict with their lifestyle and thus are a lie, 2) Asks lawmakers to pass legislation designed to punish me for rejecting that lifestyle in my economic choices, 3) Poses a burden on exercising my First Amendment right to criticize that lifestyle. |

I find it funny (and mostly stupid) that people in the business of making money will not take money from gays, their hate overrides their business sense. Plenty of haters here too I see. What you dinosaurs don't get is that the world (and our country) is trying to move away from being homophobic tards that hate everyone that is not exactly like them, evolve or die. Oops, you same dumb asses probably don't believe in evolution either so just die and make the world a little bit better. This is the civil rights movement of our times - equality for gays, if you are against it, you might want to question what the hell your problem is. People being gay somewehere does not affect my life at all, why the hell do you let it affect yours? Reminds me of a locksmith shop I went to recently, local family run, the kind I like to do business with. White family, which is kinda rare and nice in El Paso. I was very nice to them (as I am to everyone I first meet) but I could sense that they didn't really want me in the shop, no smiles, no greeting, (felt like I was in a gun store lol) mostly from the 20 something dude with white power type tattoos. I am half korean/half irish - so a "gook" to racist people. While the dude was making some keys for me, I was asking about more services that they could do for me, which ended up with them making alot of money from me (thousands). After that they had a completely different attitude towards me as they saw how much money they were going to make. Even tattoo boy is nice to me now as I probably helped pay for his new Harley, they may be racist, but they're not stupid. The pizza owners in this case are just being stupid.

On the doctors & abortion, I see your point. On the pizza issue, not so much. They hate fags and don't want to cater to them, that I understand. Not that I think they should be forced to do so, just think it's a stupid business decision to air out your opinion (when no one has asked for it in the first place) jeopardizing loss in potential customers. Where does sexuality even fit into pizza? I've never been asked if I was gay (I'm not even a little gay) when ordering pizza, no one has, so how would they even know? Someone calls and says they need x number of pizzas, who the hell is going to say I need x number of pizzas for a gay wedding? When they put their opinion out there like "Yes!!!! Don't have to serve you fags because of the new law! Yippee!!", they not only lose the business of the gay community but will lose many customers like me that aren't gay but don't want to do business with a company that refuse to serve a certain group of people. Just stupid business-wise, but yeah they can say they stuck to their religious morals when the business goes down the toilet. |

Both are "born that way." People only want to classify "gay" as a behavioral choice so the can differentiate it from race. It makes them feel better about being able to discriminate against something they don't like. After 50+ years of being conditioned to abhor discrimination against innate characteristics, they can only rationalize discrimination against volitional behavior. Thus, because they dislike homosexuality, they claim it is a choice. It is not. I'm not saying it's right. It's just not a choice. When this country decided in the 60's that an owner of a private business could not choose to deny service to a person based on their innate qualities, i.e. skin color, or that a person who owned a house could choose or not chose to sell it to someone based on their skin color, it set in motion the path that led us to the current situation with homosexuals. |

Since we're all hyped up about hyperbolic hypotheticals, I have one for the mob:
If Bubba walks into a bakery and orders a cake emblazoned with the KKK symbol, replete with crosses and roses and whatever else the Knights of the White Horse are into - let's say the bakery is owned by an African-American family, who tell Bubba to getthefuckouttathere. Has Bubba been the victim of viscous bigotry, or were the owners of the bakery correct to follow their conscience? If there were no law to protect the bakers from a lawsuit, would we cheer that they got run out of business. Because having a license to deal with the public means they automatically forfeit all their personal beliefs and are required to accept money from any and all public patrons? If that's not the case, why is it significantly different from a business refusing to participate in a same-sex wedding ceremony? |
