If there's a few people within a comunity that don't like me then I'll just ignore 'em but if the majority don't want me there, I'll move. I'm not gonna waste my time on trying to change people's minds or try to force them to. It takes time for people's way of thinking to change. Would you live in the parts of Mexico that are controlled by cartels or live in North Korea as a foreigner? I wouldn't. There's plenty of places in the states that i would not live there because I'm not wanted there or the place has too much baggage/danger to me. What does race have to do with this? Should in my opinion, religous people be able to deny homosexuals services from their business because of their religion? Yes. Why? Both sides have equal rights so neither side should be able to force the other to do something against their will for the most part. A business is privately owned. It's not a public building or a government building. |
not everyone has such ease of mibility to just pick up and move should they be made uncomefortable, felt unwelcome or be flat out descriminated against. Laws like this make it so that comunities can make individuals feel unwelcome. When businesses serve everyone people don't feel unwelcome. When the homo verboten signs start to show up it will change it quite a bit.
Your example of places should show you that not all people are able to leave when its dangerous. you are also starting to compare gereral danger to being discriminated agaist for being who you are.
Race, is where much of the history of these laws can be seen. What people are cababple of when groupthink sets in and it beomes ok for a majority to desciminate/ harass and persecute a minoirty. Also many myself included would consider homosexuality closer to race than to religion since its how people are.
Why should they deny homesexuals? where in their religion does it say to do such a thing? If they are taking a part that is mostly abandoned that mentions homosexuality to be a sin, yet not denying buisness to other sinners how is that being religeous? and actually no, they don't have equal rights, religion is protected under the constitution and in the state of Indiana, beign gay not so much. The law allows people of a religion to desciminate. It doesn't sunnedly make it legal to descriminate against them actually.
Businesnness have to follow the law because they became legal entinies under the law there are so many laws that they have to follow it's not even funny.
