Assault On Free Speech

[A Theist]

I'm angry? Look at your sig, dude and your manner of speaking.

Well yeah, you sound angry. My manner of speaking? What specifically? I don't see what I've done wrong except to argue an opposing viewpoint. That doesn't make me a hater because I disagree with a particular position and I haven't personally attacked anybody here.

Until you can produce evidence that we cannot keep a business out of our city, which we absolutely can do, you should consider the difference between what you would like to be legal and what is actually legal.

Then why did your mayor back down? Menino was discriminating against the owner of a business based on a viewpoint he didn't agree with. That was illegal. Even he admitted that he was wrong. Rahm Emmanuel also backed off his threat to ban Chick-fil-A from Chicago. If Chick-fil-A is not violating some city ordinance then there's nothing you guys can do.

I'm still not entirely sure you are not a troll parodying an angry crimson nape.

No. I'm not doing that.

But neither citizens or elected office holders have the right to stop a business from coming to their city based soley for that reason.

I conclude that you don't hold the same view considering the 2004 amendment to the Ohio constitution banning any form of civil union, including marriage, between consenting adults of the same sex.

Should be an interesting topic for a new thread.
