No, not really. Let's have a multiple choice question:
Which one is the bigot?
A. An employer who fired a worker after he brought his gay partner to the annual Christmas party.
B. The CFO who quit in protest over the firing of his colleague.
Until sometime this century, everyone on planet earth would answer A. Not a single person would label those in category B as "bigots."
Now in an Orwellian exercise, you've redefined the word to include both groups. It's astounding really.
Oh my gosh, 'a cartoon argument' - worse yet, its not even funny. Equally unfunny to Bowers is honesty:
"If I discriminate against or criticize you its called free speech, free association, and freedom of religion. If you return the sentiment and conduct, it is exactly the same thing". Persecution only occurs when someone repeatedly harasses or punishes another in a manner designed to injure, grieve, or afflict; to make someone suffer because of their belief. You know, like a founder of Mozilla "getting whacked (hounded into resigning) by the gay mafia" (Bill Mahr) .
That's pretty ironic considering a good part of your ideology is based on victimhood.
Oh look, people breaking the law and violating someone else's rights. Good find.
BOOM!
wow I knew you would back pedal and dodge it LOL

your post and claims lose and facts win . . . . again

Oh I know what it was intended as.
Speaking of Whites Only and redefining...

You probably feel persecuted, don't you. You poor thing.
If there's anything that white conservative Christians excel at, it's having a persecution complex.
What does that idiot and his stupid stunt have to do with anything?
How are those evil rich people doing? Are they hording their money again? Damn them!
Oh? So perhaps you can tell me what rights anti-discrimination laws protect.
Wow. You get extra points for managing to get in 3 groups in one fell swoop.
What do black liberal Christians excel at? How about Spanish conservative atheists? White conservative Jews?
Google must thinks it's astounding also. It's the very first thing when you seek bigotry.
Yes it does follow closely to my definition [which simplifies it]
He redefined the "Whites Only" label.
We were talking about definitions ..right?
wow I knew you would back pedal and dodge it LOL
like i said context and what is actually being discussed not your fantasies and lies. I suggest you read what others actually claimed and i proved wrong or you stop posting blatant lies. your claims are 100% false.
you said " You start with the premise that laws make people do things" ???what, i didnt claim that at all. if you disagree quote me saying that, you wont be able to and any attempts will be ANOTHER fail.
your post and claims lose and facts win . . . . again

i make widgets, you are a gay man, you walk in my store and want 500 widgets by 5:00, what law forces me to serve you cause you are gay. please state it in your next post or simply show honesty and integrity admit your clime is factually wrong
See, this is why I have very little respect for libertarians. Many, if not most libertarians, believe that full liberties only apply to straight white cisgender Christian adult males, and anybody not in that group is assumed to be a second-class citizen. And the moderate libertarians collectively do a very poor job of standing out the bigoted libertarians. And then! The moderate libertarians themselves get butthurt for being called out like that, instead of doing what they should be doing and calling out the bigots in their own group. So really, the difference between the enablers and the bigots quickly becomes indiscernible.
No, everyone is a bigot in some way or another. It might not be towards gays, but there is no doubt you're a bigot in some way or another.
Lol at the use of the word cigender.
Well, using your definition, of course I am, because I don't associate with racists and homophobes. And the charity I work with accepts everyone, but they don't allow those to stay who insult the black or gay residents or staff, so they're a "bigoted" organization because they demand that all staff and residents show respect to each other regardless of race, sexual orientation, etc.
As I said, Orwell is smiling....
Stopped reading right there. The typo aside, as a cisgender person, you never have to worry about people questioning who you are simply because of a clash between what's between your legs and what's between your ears.
Open your mind, stop being so bigoted, and maybe I'll consider listening to you. Until then, adios!
So your answer is they're both "bigots?" OK, :roll:
Yes...1.) ok that sets good ground work so its a public access business.
2.) ok perfect so when the woman walks up will she be told there is no women allowed in the store?
Religious people are discriminated against. Fat people are discriminated against. Smokers are discriminated against. Some discriminate against country western singers. Some discriminate against those who gamble and partake in alcohol. Others discriminate against Southern folks and others against Northern folks. There are laws that protect gays from discrimination against their inalienable rights just like any other citizen. Gays have not been denied the use of a water fountain or bathroom because of their gayness. Gays have never been sold as merchandise to the highest bidder because of their gayness. Gays have never been denied a seat at a lunch counter or restaurant because of their gayness. But black folks were and it is outrageous there are those who will use the suffering of race inequality as even beginning to match what the lgbt community claims in discrimination acts. Denying someone a wedding cake because of religious convictions doesn't even belong on the same page of those who were beaten and treated like second class citizens because of their color. Shameful.
Now long before LGBT, there was something called freedom of religion guaranteeing every individual their right to religious expression and moral conscience. Some folks find gay marriage a sin yet they have just as much right in the public square as anyone else and have the right to conduct their life in commerce without persecution for their beliefs.
There is no reason to use such a term to describe people that are not delusional. It's a stupid term that serves no purpose. If that bothers you then I recommend you take it up with someone that cares.
"we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone" should rule the day for business matters
Try to push your straight, white, cisgendered, male privilege on someone more gullible.
Goodbye.
I don't use the word myself.
