Wow, new segregation!
What is actually there problem with LGBT? I though Republicans especially were against "big government" and yet when they can use it to hurt minorities they do it. Hypocrites!
As long as LGBT people harm no one, they should be allowed to do what they want. It's there bodies.
Also, surely there are bigger issues out there than gay people. |
New Segregation seems a bit sensationalist.
You do realize that this was the case in the UK up until 2007 right?
All and all, the law is just... totally pointless, because Arisona wasn't one of the states where you couldn't refuse service to gay people in the first place. Buisnesses have the right to refuse service in most states, and most countries, to anybody except on the basis of Race, Nationality or Disability.
The US also has age on it's list.
Some US states and other countries have gay... but far less countries then you would think.
It just rarely happens because... people like money.
Pointless and terrible, but not really anything beyond that.

The more interesting one is that an interpretation of this law could open up for discrimination in other regards, like if a Muslim waiter at a general-purpose restaurant begins refusing to even handle anything with pork in the ingredients, and demanded he can still keep the job. I wonder what the advocates of the law would say in that case?
|
no, because said muslim waiter was volunterly offering his services and the business was volunterly employing him. No one was forced to do anything, he is free to leave, and the business is free to fire him.
back to the Op, the business should be able to volunterrly offer their services, and customers should be able to volunterly accept their service. You are advocating for compulsery labor, which is slavery.

You're already allowed to deny people of your services if they violate your rights. You're just not allowed to deny someone solely based on discrimination on things like race, sex or sexuality. All this bill does is give a legal defence to a business, so if a gay couple were to sue them they can't win because the business did not break the law.
The only people who profit are those who dislike LGBT people and this bill gives them the impression that the Republican party is acutally doing something. So they will continue to support them in the next election, even if it means continuously voting for people who pass self-destructing legislation.
