Agreed.

Not very smart.

One bad deed does not deserve another.

Better to simply stand outside and protest peacefully, if you intend to take direct action at all.

Otherwise, simply vote with your feet and don't eat there or recommend it to anyone. :coffeepap:

I find it interesting that you approve of someone being turned down for service because they are gay, but are against someone turning down serving someone they don't agree with politically.

I never said I "approved" of that. :roll:

I simply said that people in business should be free to choose to serve or not serve anyone, unless there is no alternative business within a reasonable commuting distance. In which case local ordinances can apply.

Conversely, those who disagree can do what I suggested in my post here.

An Ontario eatery has been targeted by supporters of Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who likely mistook the establishment for the Virginia restaurant the*White House press secretary was asked to leave on Friday.

The negative comments on the*Facebook page belonging to The Olde Red Hen in Collingwood, Ont., are likely due to the two restaurant’s similar names.*Sanders tweeted on Saturday that the owner of the Red Hen in Lexington, Va. told her to leavebecause she works for U.S. President Donald Trump.

A restaurant in NO with the same name has received 600 phone call threatening the place and stsff

That definitely doesn’t accomplish much but, frankly, I’d also be hard pressed to care much whether that act offended the owner or not.

I think she is catching a very intense backlash and community shunning that she did not see coming.

I found it kinda hilarious that after Trump tweeted how dirty her restaurant looked she had her staff cleaning it all day.

That's because there's a fundamental difference between faith based religious belief and political ideology.

Because Trump knows first hand what a unsafe restaurant look like ;)

Unsafe seafood. Insufficiently refrigerated meats. Rusty shelving. Cooks without hairnets.

Reports show Florida health inspectors cited President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach with 15 violations in late January, days before the U.S. leader hosted Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for a diplomatic visit........

......Among the “high priority” problems described as “potentially hazardous” were faulty fridges with meats stored well above the required 41 degrees Fahrenheit. For example, in the restaurant’s walk-in cooler the duck and beef were measured at 50 degrees, while a ham was at 57.......

Nonsense. This isn't a laughing matter. Take to peaceful protest if you must, and that means do not hinder people from moving about, or simple take your business elsewhere.

So basically you are saying that everyone has the right to discriminate against other USA citizens, because that is what it ends up being. I lived down south during segregation and in parts of the South that also hated Catholics. So you believe that they should be discriminated against as long as the owner of a business doesn't like them. You sound a lot like the people I met down South years ago. It was called segregation or the polite term was separate but equal. You can dress it up any way you like, but that is what you are saying, segregation in the past, segregation now, and segregation always. Where have i heard that one before.

(Sigh)

I grew up during that era also, and was refused service at various times by ignorant bigots too.

But I don't agree with the idea that anyone owes other people their labor, absent a contract agreeing to supply that labor in exchange for something else...isn't that something akin to slavery/servitude?

Public services, paid for by all taxes being required by law to serve everyone is one thing, since we ALL pay for those services via taxes and fees.

But forcing someone to bake you a cake? Especially when you can find someone willing as easy as looking a few doors down or a few streets over?

I'd be worried about whatever "biological products" they might add to the mix myself, should they be forced to do it...but that's just me.

Businesses who fail to cater to everyone these days are simply risking their profits. Good example from the past, the orange juice industry and Anita Bryant.

People were made aware of the bigotry, people protested...Anita lost her job and everyone was happy with orange juice. Try that sometime rather than forcing people to do it by law.

Yep - as soon as the deranged liberals stop that BS.

Just heard that Mitch McConnell and his wife were heckled and pestered out in public by those peace loving morons on the left. Definitely not a laughing matter ...

Like I said, as soon as that BS from the leftis stops, I too will not laugh about chicken s***.

I understand your point but I do think we're better off with some basic laws. Without them, you would at least see a few "Whites only" establishments. Then those would just attract violence. It's just better that it's illegal.

I don't think people should be forced to make custom cakes that they don't want to make. That's artistic freedom.

Yes, there's that. It's also because one is ostensibly a rational decision, and the other is based exclusively on faith. A person might change a rational decision based on more material information. Spiritual beliefs are unaffected by material information, and are therefore more deeply held.
