I think the Civil Rights act outside of government  is unconstitutional. No one should be forced to do anything they don't want to do. I am Jewish, but if a Nazi opened a restaurant I simply wouldn't go there and ask other people not to.

You might as well rip the constitution that champions that every human being is equal.


every human being is not equal 

all people should be granted rights and they are although ironically the "progressive" people are now trying to strip away the rights of every body

I said before people should be accepted warts and all. Perspective plays a huge roll in this. From a Christian perspective homosexuality is a sin or in my simplified example a wart. From a homosexual's perspective they may consider the view of homosexuality being sin as a wart. It depends from whose perspective you view things who is right and who is wrong. So many things in life boil down to perspective.

From the logic point of view, whoever thinks homosexuality is wrong is just stupid.



personally i think this is reprehensible but if its their business they should have the right to do what they want with their property
that people think its "progressive" to strip away the control someone has over their property is oxymoronic imo

That sounds very logic(al) ... a fine argument.

Ultimately religion societal progress hasn't occured in the US because of Christianity, its because of philosophy and humans rights movements. Religion was will always be used as an excuse for why people should be held down. Its just the way it is and when 78% of the country thinks like this, its very hard to find reason. This is not to say that everyone shouldn't have the ability to practice and believe in what they want. Thats what the forefathers wanted us to do and have the luxury to do. The problem with Christians that they are trying to force Christian dominant thinking into the political sphere and when that happens society will only fall from it. History books teach us how dangerous it is to mix church with state. 



But where does it stop. Can a Dr. Say they are protected from Jews. And who defines what classifies as a religious belief. Skit too short? No services. You don't believe in my arbitrary deity? I can't serve you. The role of the government is to protect its citizens. Not to assist in discrimination.

And why would you want to be around a bunch of people who only believe what you believe. It sould so unhealthy.

I don't think allowing for the rejection of gay customers is the primary purpose of this bill. Besides, you turn away a customer or worse, make them feel uncomfortable word will spread quickly and you'll lose more customers than you can afford to. I don't think businesses owners would be that stupid. If they are, they won't last long.

Hows this different from ROAR? Is it discrimination if a guy gets kicked from an female-only nightclub? There are definitely certain business that should have this right. There are some that not (Hospitals, being the best example). I think that a privately owned business should have the right to kick anyone for whatever stupid reason (except in the health industry). If a company goes public then it forfeits this right.


No because that club has most likely adverised that that they are a female only club. If they did not, then yeah, they could very likely be sued. Business that don't explicitly come forward about their stance against gays or lesbians should come forward because most Americans are accepting gays and lesbians as equals. Business that do not come forward should not need a law that helps them hide their belief. If they are afraid of advertising, "We only serve heterosexuals" will lose heterosexual customers as well, then that's their problem and not the gay and lesbian community. Not advertising their business policy and wasting a gay and lesbians' effort to do business with them is false advertising. 


Yes it would be discrimination.  And thats why it doesn't happen.  Straight people can go to gay clubs.  People need to get out more. 



*sigh...... Truly sad. This is going to have major ramifications down the road.
