If this is the only side of the argument fox showed then it should loose
its right to broad cast news I. Any form. News should be non basis and fair
showing both sides of a debate.
In Great Britain we introduced laws so that anyone who provides a service
cannot discriminate against group or groups in our society that are covered
by law.
This should help to promote a more tolerant society.
For me, if these people want to hide behind their religion and refuse
services to gays or whomever, then let them. But we don’t have to tolerate
their intolerance. Call them out, picket their business and cause
awareness so that no one goes to their store. I bet they will change their
tune when their overall profits fall drastically.
This makes me wanna’ go to town with that First World Problems meme.
“I still have my awesome job in a recession, but I lack the maturity and
accountability to check my religious arrogance out the door! * SOBS * “
You have the choice to not go into a business where you deal with people.
You can choose not to live in a country that affirms, in its constitution,
equal protection under law.
Yeah, of course, Niggers shouldn’t be allowed in my church, store, diner
etc… oh wait are we talking about homosexuals? (sarcasm)

Several states are debating measures that would legalize anti-gay business
and employment discrimination. Proponents claim the measures are necessary
to protect religious liberty – a talking point Fox News has been promoting
for months.
Fox News supports segregation? Not surprised. They support voter
discrimination after all that keeps people of colour from voting.
straight male here. i am for gay rights, but support the business as well
i despise everything that fox news stands for and more especially how it
applies emotive half truths to promote its message..
however.. i still think that the world is plenty big enough for christian
bigots to run their own businesses entirely according to their own silly
ideas without any one interfering with their freedom the way that they want
to interfere with everyone else..
No, you do not have to check your convictions at the door.
At the same time, you have no right to force your customers to do so either
How is serving coffee to gay people violating someones religious freedom?
Or forcing religion on someone else?
Fox “news,” fighting for the right to discriminate and claiming it’s the
opposite. Yep, that’s about par for the course.
im gay, but i think people should not be sued for basically practicing
their religion. i dont believe in the bible, but it is clear that they
do… instead of these lawsuits, there should be boycotts… that will be
the right thing to do…
Fox News hired pretty playboy model faces to spew lies about Jim Crow
discrimination.
Why can’t we just stone all blasphemers like our sacred book tells us? Why
? The real question is why we can’t live up to , or even remember and
understand, the ideals with which this country was founded
So let me get this straight…
They feel discriminated against because they aren’t allowed to discriminate?
Sorry, but I need to bang my head against something hard now…
The left’s policy of attempting to associate gay rights with the civil
rights act is both offensive and insulting to blacks. Skin color cannot be
chosen, but the sexual habits one engages in one has complete and utter
control over. This is absolutely pathetic.
Leviticus 20:13 gays shall be put to death
I wish death on anyone who trys to tie homosexuality with the civil rights
movement. Do ever disrespect my ancestors
Thing about this stuff is, if you refuse service to people based on how you
perceive them, there’s nothing stopping people from refusing you service as
well.
The courts wont support these laws, the only people supporting them are
judgmental, hate filled “Christians”.
Whats next not serving Fornicators, Sabbath breakers? idolators? Those
should be agasint a Christian values right.
The basic freedom to be bigots without repercussion, plain and simple.
Here is the deal if your going to be a joe schmo business owner you
shouldn’t establish a public business if you don’t intend on catering to
the public. Public doesn’t exclude private does. I could care less if some
ass hat bigot wants to bake me a cake or not. However I would cause world
war 3 if I went in to a place that serves the public and they refused me
service. It’s that simple.. Don’t open a business to the public if you
don’t want to serve the public.
lol if you think that your god is going to smite you for baking a cake for
lesbians, i think its time to reevaluate your religion
“Sincerely held religious beliefs” the latest vapid phrase from the same
people who believe in sincerely held religious belief so much they’ve
demonized one in the last decade, Islam, and previously demonized
Catholicism and Judaism.
Because freedom.
This is segregation. This isn’t about not wanting to bake a cake. “No Gays
Allowed” signs up in a business window is what this is about and it will
never happen. It is your Christian duty to not judge others. Trying to
rationalize this as something else won’t work. Its 2014 for God’s sake! Let
us not forget this would also mean Jewish, Muslim, Hindu etc. owned
businesses could refuse service to Christians. Never going to happen.
I love watching the “spin” put on topics such as this. Thank you Fox News.
/sarcasm
Religious views? The Church of being a total cunt?
Are you also going to refuse to let atheist buy your products? Religion is
so overrated
First of all, F*** Elizabeth Hasselback, Secondly, “Does owning a busiess
mean checking your faith at the door?’ /Jon Stewart: OF COUUUURSE!!! And
even then, if your a smart and reasonable business owner, wouldn’t you
prefer to make money and more business (word of mouth) then potentially
damage a possible source of new business and clients? Oh, and yeah like
Christians are soooo persecuted right? What a freakin’ joke
If they do pass this law and I am not saying they should. They should
require the business to have a sign stating “we have the right to refuse
service to anyone and we refuse service to (insert group here) because we
are bigoted assholes. Please find a better place to get your needs taken
care of. Sorry for wasting your time on our lame ass business.”
Okay State and Church are separate you dumb fucks. Sorry but yeah, check
your goddamned ego at the door. Unless this is in a church, who gives a
damn who walks in that door as long as they are a potential buyer or
customer?? Hello, they mean business and business means money. Chick-Fil-A
never turned me away for being gay but we know where they stand on that and
ya know what?? I am friggen fine with that, I love me some waffle fries. 🙂
Fucking Religions destroy the USA
imagine if you replaced the word “christian” with islamic. if it was an
islamic photographers, fnc wouldnt be talking about freedom of religion or
values.
they don’t call us the American Taliban fer nuthin, buford. blowing up
them goddamn bhuddas in the Gay Bay area cuz they offend my born again eyes
is next on my agenda. boom!
We have never been so divided. Thanks Fox, for helping to make America a
more racist, homaphobic place to live. God bless America.
No one forces you to open a business that serves the public at large. You
don’t want to provide a service to me because of some faith held belief,
then you should close shop and only offer your service to people in your
church. If you are open to the public, well that’s everyone, and you don’t
get to pick and chose who. Damn f’ing Soup Nazis.
What if your convictions include killing people who don’t go to your church?
Or those who practice usury?
How about the religious convictions of MUSLIMS, HINDUS and SATANISTS?
As usual, the wingnuts don’t think things through. It’s all about only
them.
Try telling Muslims they have to allow gays in their Mosque! Tell Jews they
have to serve pork at the wedding they are catering!
Oh Fox News, don’t talk about tolerance. Please, don’t talk about it.
Maybe these laws should be passed in the name of freedom, however if the
business chooses no exclude certain people, it must put up a sign over the
door saying who they will and will not serve. See how that affects
takings…
Perhaps some feel there being outdone by ruskey policy, and while the
american goverment would not make such an idiotic policy widespread, them
pesky religous fanatics come out to play…..some reality check face
slapping is in order, perhaps christianity needs some more
advertising…good PR yah morons…
Just example #451345856835 of xians:
*) wanting special rights
*) discriminating against others
*) using their religion to justify hurting others
*) claiming *they’re* the victims in all this
