Indiana Pizzeria Won't Serve Gay Couples

[abaris]

 Would you cater a Klan cross burning party?

A perfectly stupid analogy, but it goes to show your own prejudices when it comes to gay people. Comparing two consenting adults celebrating their love for each other to a hate event is despicable. And that's the real problem here. People calling for tolerance for their own bigoted and petty hatred.

You expect anything else from Adolf?  He'd cater Kristallnacht!

Blacks are a protected class in Indiana.  From what I understand, gays are not.   I think I read that on the Huffington Post......so I could be wrong.

Esquilax, you claim, "those are the rules" isn't a good answer when you don't like the rules.  When you like the rules, its "Well if they don't want to serve gay customers then don't open a pizzeria".

Nice strawman, but my position was pretty obviously that something being a rule does not necessarily mean that it's right and should not be changed.

If you really....really....really think "those are the rules" is not a good answer.  I agree with you.  I was satirizing all the morons who make that claim when they happen to find the rules favorable.

Sure you were. That's why you gave absolutely no indication of that.

"Those are the rules," as though that's any kind of answer to the issue. As though there have never been any immoral rules that needed repealing.

Just to illustrate how completely vapid and lacking in worth your position is, let me change a few words around:

"Sorry Isabel, Blacks are not a protected class in Indiana.  The pizzeria doesn't have to serve gay people if they don't want too."

"Sorry Isabel, Women are not a protected class in Indiana.  The pizzeria doesn't have to serve gay people if they don't want too."

"Sorry Isabel, Christians are not a protected class in Indiana.  The pizzeria doesn't have to serve gay people if they don't want too."

But those are the rules, right? And rules must always be thoughtlessly followed, no matter their content!

Woody, you're dumb as a stump and blind as a bat.

I just can't stop thinking of funny scenarios.

"I'm sure you do want a pizza sir, but we have a strict policy here. We need evidence you are not homosexual. Please come to our testing area where we will evaluate your response to various different erotic images. We take christianity very seriously, we do what it says in our book. Well, except we're not going to stone you to death, or burn entire villages like it actually says (the village thing needs a pretty liberal interpretation anyway to have anything to do with homosexuality as the Angels aren't human, and the story reads much more like condoning rape). We're not going to do what it actually says, because we're not radical extremists! We're just going to make our dislike for you and your kind known by refusing to sell you pizzas. It used to be just at gay weddings, but we decided now no pizzas for gays at all. Just like in the bible. Well, just not at all like in the bible. I've never read it lol."

Meat lovers. 

I'm sorry...

I'd be looking for un-Christian things the owners did that aren't in the Bible

These "Christians" always want to kick in with Jesus and the Bible when it comes to gay people, but I really doubt they were virgins on their wedding days and they are probably fine with divorce too. Hell I'm pretty sure the Bible even says we shouldn't cut our hair, and they probably do that.

Muslims, the same goes for you. I've seen several times before Muslim girls, with their faces uncovered, talking about what an abomination being gay is. If you're a Muslim who drinks alcohol and eats pork you're in no right to comment on what is haram in Islam.

I'm learning that these religious people twist the rules when it suits them. If you call them out on their double standards, watch them get all defensive and start talking about how the rule they are breaking is "a different issue". No, it just suits you. It just proves very few of these anti-gay people are genuinely against it because of religion. Religion is a cover.

I like how this issue was another way for Rosie O'Donnell to weasel her way back into the spotlight.
