Indiana's Pence to sign bill allowing businesses to reject gay customers

So in other words, no physician declined medical treatment to your gay friend because he was gay, which is what you claimed the other day.

The questionaire told them that he's gay, He was suggested to go somewhere else. Did they say "we don't serve homo's here"? No, He was discreetly informed that they would not be seeing him. I asked him if the place was packed or overbooked. He told me that there were a handful of people in the place and that it wasn't. What's happening here is business owners are testing the waters with this crap.

Judges shouldn't be elected I agree. How do you believe they should get to their respective positions then?

That story in your signature line. Did that news make it to the Netherlands?

No, I am a big fan of sarcastic new-shows like the Daily show, the Colbert Report (sadly gone), Bill Maher's Real Time and Last week tonight with John Oliver, and that is where I read about that story and looked into it in the real news media and thought it was a disgraceful way to misuse a discussion about state raptors in such a manner.

I already explained several times that the entire post misrepresented what he quoted. I understand that you do not what to address that as it throws you off your agenda, but that doesn't alter it's accuracy.
 

Your post is a liberal dodge and my point is as solid as it gets.. you just simply dont like the law of freedom..
 

So it is YOUR opinion that NO medical professional would EVER do something like this?

again.,.. post the parts you dont understand so I can assist you..Im willing to help you
 

Yes, on the exact same day, within minutes of Pence signing this into law, your gay friend walked into a clinic and was asked to leave, only because he's gay, because the clinic - obviously major homophobes - want to "test the waters". That's the biggest crock of **** I've read on here in ages.
 

So, since I am a liberal, tell me what you think my position on this is.
 
The state of CT has just announced it will not fund any travel to the state of Indiana while this is going down. Hysterical.

Dan Malloy. Malloy, a Democrat, just announced on Twitter that he plans to sign an executive order banning state travel to Indiana due to the midwestern state’s recently enacted Religious Freedom Restoration Act.

Good thing the UConn Men's team didn't go to the tournament finals this year.

Again, since the issue is not about understanding but about misrepresenting, let me know when you want to be honest about the issue so we can actually discuss it.

99%... can never say 100% but I find it very unlikely even it was Richard Simmons with a "Right Said Fred world tour" t shirt on.. Drs do not allow the injured to go untreated for some political position..

But walk in clinics mayn times are not staffed with the right person at the moment and or equipment.....I just experienced that myself.. I am not gay
 

I can't believe any of those guys picked it up. I live in NH and it got about 6 seconds mention on our news channels and barely a mention in our newspapers.

Nobody I know of cared that he used a discussion about our state bird in such a manner. It was how something proposed by kids was hijacked for political purposes - by both sides, by the way.

to be told you are right..and if its not your post, angle or agenda its incorrect... the usual
 

No, the world isn't black and white and there's no reason this has to be absolutely one way or the other.
 

I saw that.. CRAZY LIBERAL OVER REACTION!!!!...
thanks for posting that
 

OMG Malloy is such an embarrassment. Seriously.

Yes, I'm sure there was a lot of state travel to Indiana for CT government employees. :roll:

OMFG on CT's religious freedom law. OMFG. I should laugh at his ignorance, but I have a lot of friends who still live in CT and I feel sorry for them now.

Malloy needs to get back to his efforts to capitalize on Sandy Hook and leave the lawmaking to the smart people.
 

I suspect that doctor was the product of a lively imagination, created to support a fable.
 
So this is a vegetarian restaurant? Or is your friend fine with the killing of animals so long as they arrive in 4x4 pre-sliced squares?

You can decline service to people for any reason.
Click to expand...
Really? Let's see if your friend gets away with "you'll have to leave, because I don't like black people."

No, but there are laws in most if not all states that you cannot deny service for purely arbitrary reasons like "I don't do taxes for blondes."
 

A Muslim business owner can refuse to serve bacon, but they can't refuse to serve bacon to black people but serve bacon to white people anyway. Hope this helps your confusion.

I see you are confused... what part of my post was confusing..again the law is about "religious freedom"..
 

I call total BS, sorry dude. Pence signed the law two days ago. It doesn't go into effect immediately.

Tim-
 

Every time I turn around, I see new reasons to be damned happy I don't live in Connecticut any more. Maybe fewer liberal weenies from Nooengland will lower the average IQ of my state temporarily by driving through it.

Arbitrarily jettisoning those that you don't like the looks off from a business that serves the public isn't freedom. That's some nazi era ****.
 

Nope, not a vegetarian restaurant. She, like I, loves animals and doesn't appreciate jokes about animals being made into meat.

She can't say "You have to leave because I don't like black people". Black people are of the protected class. Have you been following along?

What are the laws that say you can't deny service for purely arbitrary reasons? If I own a cleaning service, and I clean the house next to you, what law says I have to clean your house just because you want me to if I decide I don't want to do it because you have kids and I don't like kids? That's arbitrary.
