Mississippi Governor signs bill which allows LGBT discrimination

[Adam Driver]

It's terrible that this was actually passed on. The bill allows businesses to deny service to LGBT community depending on whether they discriminate against LGBT or if their religion/faith is against it and considers it a "sinful nature"

Examples:

-refuse marriage
-deny housing

Whist I have literally zero interest debating about this and I'm indifferent. Let me ask you something

If I went into a store shirtless that demanded me to have a shirt to be served and was denied service, do you think it's fair if I wasn't served?

 

[Claymantan]

Yeah there was a thread on this, it's a bummer, but it's normal for stuff like this to go down when gay (or any civil) rights are on the rise. It's reactionary. Think Jim Crow after emancipation, and the War on Drugs after the Civil Rights Act.

Progress is like business, cyclical but usually on the rise

Mississippi ftw Tha gays are attacking er freedums

 

[Jazzy Stardust]

I'm guessing you've never been to Mississippi? Not shocking, that's probably the most backwards place in my country. Extremely racist and closed minded.

Please don't compare a sexual orientation of a person to being to lazy to put on a shirt like a logical person before going out in public to eat.

Would appreciate if you just answer the question

Would appreciate if you just answer the question

If it's a place where a shirt is appropriate like a restaurant,
No I wouldn't. I'd tell the person to go home and put on a shirt and come back and I'll be more than pleased to serve.

Do you think this person is going to be offended as if his rights are being taken from him? Do you think I'm discriminating against him? For not wearing clothes out in public like any logical being would do? Your logic is mind numbing for you to even compare something as insignificant as wearing a shirt out in a public place to an important life choice of sexual preference. As if you'd leave your own home to go to a restaurant or library without a shirt, seriously gtfo :|

Interesting but predictable conclusion. I'm aware that you are bi (quote me if I'm wrong) so I'd see how'd that strike a nerve.

I wasn't comparing anything, that's the assumption you jumped to. I was curious to hear your answer. I also want you to remember that I said I was indifferent before you edited your post as well.


If you feel like it's ok to deny service because of rules a restaurant has enforced based on what they believe (meanwhile, there are men, should have been specific here, shirtless all the time), then what makes this different?

And I'm only talking within this context of your example a restaurant

Yes I'm bisexual and my sexual preference is irrelevant to the discussion we're having.

@Bold :|

Tf? Where? I've never heard of a man who's had a life style where they don't wear shirts out to public places. And never have I ever heard of people claiming discrimination because they were denied access to a public place like a restaurant for going in shirtless. Like your terrible example is not even remotely the same as being denied service for a person's sexual preference.

You need to think harder

The person with no shirt has to go home and put on a shirt. The person probably owns a shirt and wears them on a regular basis.

The gay person has to learn to enjoy getting things put where they don't want things put or to enjoy putting things where they don't want to put them after a lifetime (probably, depends how you view sexual fluidity) of being gay

Alternatively, they have to learn to stop enjoying those things, depending on their gender, and keep their lifestyle a secret, which is like, super stress

One seems drastically more unfair

Religious Bigotry at its finest.

 

[Edogawa]

Governments should never involve themselves with business rules. If a business does not want to employ a gay/lesbian person, then that is the business's concern.

Freedom of religion /= Taking away rights of others. I don't really understand why people don't get this.

It's not like gay couples would be having *** in their restaurants.
