Just because I went to school and learned how to do hair, skin and nails doesn't mean that I have to provide all of the services that I was trained to do.You have no right to refuse a person on account of their gayness, no more so than the color of their skin..no matter how much money it costs you to start your salon. That's totally irrelevant, as is the "art" business.
Like I said earlier..you could keep the quiet parts quiet and skate..even if thats what you did, but you would have to lie about it to pull it off.
Semi aside..but, the wingnuts don;t actually give a fuck about art except insomuch as they cointend that they have the right to censure it. They know you do, though. That;s a success of messaging, like the thread title, or a theists post a few moments back about the courts siding with the baker and tolerance being a two way street. It wasn;t actually made legal to discriminate against gays and the courts weren;t referring to his having done that when they sided with him.
That;s just a way of telling a wingnut story that will appeal to you..even though you aren;t a wingnut...and if they can get enough complicit (and unwitting) surrogates out there repeating alternative versions of events..that not only becomes the narrative in the collective psyche, it becomes "what happened".
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
