That is why this bill is baloney.
Companies are not people, you can't discriminate on the basis of religion.
If you can't see that, I feel bad for you.
This is America, not a theocracy.
That's why? Why? You never stated a why. How am I supposed to know why when you didn't write it out and explain it. Writing "This is why" is no help in terms of explanation.
Companies most certainly can be people. There are proprietorships and partnerships, which are people. The law says we can't discriminate on the basis of religion and people are working to overturn this draconian infringement on human rights.
Thank you. You make me feel loved and cared for. It's nice of you to feel badly for me.
Tell me about it. This is supposed to the land of freedom and instead we all get the Religion of Liberalism firehosed down our throats.
We all understand that if a woman doesn't want to be naked in front of a man she has every right to make that call.
So if she prefers a female gyno she isn't discriminating she is respecting her right to decide who she is naked in front of.
Your perspective however is based on the assumption that such a decision is rooted in a fundamental belief that males are inferior as gynecologists because they are male as opposed to being rooted in a womans decision to chose who she is naked in front of.
Religion of liberalism?
It is the typical ALEC playbook, and if you don't think that it can discriminate against you, you are sorely misinformed.
You're forcing me to submit to your ideas. Religion, as a category, is simply a set of ideas about God and the afterlife. Being forced to submit to ideas is a bad thing.
I'm discriminated against all the damn time. This is like freedom of speech - you don't have to approve of a person's speech in order to defend their right to exercise that freedom.
If the price of freedom involves more discrimination falling onto me and inconveniencing me, then I'm willing to take any added discrimination people want to shove onto me.
No, you are just making up the usual blather from someone with no argument.
You are not discriminated against, trust me, you aren't
You say that and yet you don't actually engage with the argument, or if you prefer, the non-argument, that I make.
Awww, you know such much about me. I'm touched. Remember that time I asked Becky out on a date and she discriminated against me and went out with Brock Roughneck instead? She rejected me for who I was. Come to think of it, maybe you're right, maybe it would be a better world if I, and others like me, didn't have to be rejected and hurt for simply being who we are. If only you, or some cop, was there right at that moment and could witness her damn dirty discriminating behavior towards me, you or the cop could have forced her to go out on a date with me. That would certainly have been the better outcome. I could have driven down to Arnold's Drive-In, then cruised the strip with her in my Boss car, and I could have been spared the hurt feelings of being a victim of discrimination.
Hey, hold on a second. If you know so much about me, then you probably already know this story, and if you know this story, then that means you probably saw this all go down, so why didn't you step in and force Becky to stop discriminating against me?
More baloney.
What's with your disparaging comments about human rights?
You are making things up.
This bill allows people to hide under the guise of religion so that they can discriminate.
Plain and simple.
I'm not making up anything. To prevent discrimination is to use the power of government to force people into associations that they don't wish to be a part of. Do you want to have government force you into friendships or romantic relationships or into commercial relationship so that other people's feelings don't get hurt? That's an unjust trade-off. Yeah, it's nice when people don't have their feelings hurt by being rejected, but to stop those feelings from being hurt requires a brutal assault on human rights.
If the company has the right to discriminate against anything that their religion finds offensive (christians can't allow women on their periods, because the bible says so!) then why not have a sign saying "no jews, no homosexuals, no bisexuals allowed" on the front door?
Walk the talk.

You are not discriminated against, trust me, you aren't
But, oddly you crave the right to discriminate against others.
Character flaw
I guess some people are just against human rights. You just happen to be against the very foundation of them.
So atheist business owners could deny service to religious customers, so long as they assert that it's because of their atheism? Bet that would make a lot of religious idiots scream.
the foundation of human rights is that all men and women are equal in the eyes of society and the law.

Tourism is down because folks don't want to risk getting caught in the war that illegals are bringing over with them from Mexico. I don't think most folks are all that eager to visit any open drug trade route.
I actually hear Phoenix is a nice city. But, I haven't been there.
Shame to hear this passing. The fear of the changing tides, I suppose.
Ahh.
You know, back in the 60s and 70s Disneyland didn't allow hippies in. I stopped doing business with them. I don't hate Disneyland, nor did I ever press to see that overturned by law or court, I still won't go there or take my kids there.
Do you have the same problem when a hot young woman is flaunting her sexuality?
