I believe i already accused them of lying on that, just like their attention whoring by going out of their way to bash gay weddings. I don't see anything of value in their antics.
christian persecution complex depends on making oneself the victim. Easiest way to do that is claim to "love the sinner, hate the sin," or claim to serve the non existent gay couples and just stop short at supporting the wedding. Reality is they hate sinner, or would not have opened their fat mouths to begin with. There's literally no purpose to what they did, other than to be pricks
Huh. How about that. So nothing has happened. I wonder if Muslim restaurant would cater a SSM.
I'm pretty sure I gave worldwide examples to back up my statement. Hell, I'm convinced I even MENTIONED the East Coast as part of my post. If you want to look at some of the terrible activities of some Christians to make your point, go for it. Just don't pretend that religion doesn't have any value today. That's patently false even to someone who has a long history of taking a whip to fundies.
What food does a "Muslim" restaurant sell?
How would they know a customer was gay or lesbian? Should they be wearing rainbow pins or pink stars? I'll bet the pizza place has never encountered a bunch of Bears "

Sorry, I don't subscribe to your posts or follow your newsletter. And based on your expressed views, I think I'll pass.
Actually, it does. Thank you. One thing's for sure, your ideal society would be the most segregated society on the planet. Without government intervention to protect gays and minorities from wanton discrimination, such people would be forced out of backwater conservative towns, even if they were born there. There would literally be 'No-Go Zones' sprinkled across the country for many people.
I would ask why you overwhelmingly favor the rights of businesses over the rights of people, but I frankly don't care.
I can't believe I should have to give the equivalent of the "not all Muslims are terrorists" speech. Look at a map of where the most states that oppose ssm are clustered and you'll see it's highly regional. I know many religious people and most of them don't oppose gay people in the slightest, and in fact do a lot of aide and charity work. Often they make me feel like an objectively terrible human by comparison. And the few religious people I know who do oppose gays are originally from that cluster I just mentioned. It's easy to forget in these topics that the majority of Liberals/Democrats are in fact religious. The ongoing culture war is defined by culture and region. Religion is only one part of it.

I wasn't trying to be mean when I said that. It was just a statement, that's all.
People do not have a right to not be discriminated against. So yeah, I'm going to support Rights over wants.
And in case you didn't notice, we already have segregated areas. Self imposed segregation but segregation none the less. Don't believe me? Go take a walk around China Town or The Hood etc etc etc.

Don't know if they have or not. But its pretty easy to see two guys or gals kissing each other. :shrug: And who knows, for all we know they might even have some regular customers that they know is gay.
Actually, after looking around, I think I'm wrong about the tweet. I may be confusing it with another business that tweeted their intent to discriminate.
IIRC, the whole issue began because the owner tweeted a message that he would not cater a SSM
Well, considering all of the transgendered weddings in Iran, the recent gay weddings in Malaysia, and the gay wedding that took place during the OWS protest, one can only assume that "Muslim" food was had and they employed at least 1 "Muslim restaurant". Don't believe me? Well,
The Muslim world isn't as obsessed with homosexuality as some people may think.
I dunno what you're arguing. Dems were as worthless to gay rights for the longest time as repubs were. Religion is entirely it. Just look at any poll on the reason for opposing gay rights, it's always religion.
Yeah, about half of christians, after finding out they have gay friends/relatives, have managed to extricate themselves from the pulpit's clutches. Doesn't change the fact that without religion, this wouldn't have been a problem to begin with.
77% of Americans identify as Christian. If it was solely (or even just mostly) religious you'd see the problem as spread out rather than clustered. I see this issue as regional and cultural.
Muslim food. Halal, much like Kosher is to Jews.
Shrug. And somewhere a pizza place is still in business because its owner doesn't publicly announce he's an objectively terrible human being.
