people are a mess
This actually does piss me off. The article correctly identifies them as a "mob" because that is what they are
I just appreciate that there's so much profanity being tossed about in this thread.
isn't the mob the free market?Originally Posted by sturg33

Yes - per usual they have the "right" to threaten store owners I guess... But I'd imagine you'd have a different opinion of it if were KKK folks threatening black owners.
It's pretty sad that the owner here gave the gay couple the service they requested, and were still threatened bc they simply hold a different viewpoint.
Not sure how you can defend that - but not surprised I guess
not really defending it
was more pointing out the fallacy of the free market always being right or will fix itself etc etc

I don't quite understand what everyone gets so upset about though. The LGBT crowd is NOT looking for equality - they are looking for submission - which makes it really hard for me to defend them.
And this is coming from a guy who supports SSM
isn't the other side of the coin asking for submission by putting their religion and its laws in our supposed to be secular(at the very least not supposed to endorse the views of any certain religion) gov't?

I'm generally confused by the couple's behavior. If someone's religious views were a high importance, they would have vetted the jeweler first. I feel like overall the information would have been there if they uncovered it later. Period I think it's that simple, if you sign a contract to do business with someone, unless they don't fulfill that contract or do something during the contract that's so egregious it can harm your business, then I don't buy it. For them to do this sounds like maybe they wanted to get out of the ring because they didn't like it or were instead of a refund hoping for a discount. I don't think this was done genuinely. Maybe that's just my internal cynic though.
Stockholm, more densely populated than NYC - sturg
I'm not sure where that happened here.
The business owner has a right to an opinion, no?

i thought we were talking about crowds now and not just this case when you said this?

Can you give me an example of whatever point you're trying to make?
Tennessee Tennessee Amendment 1 The historical institution and legal contract solemnizing the relationship of one man and one woman shall be the only legally recognized marital contract in this state.
Georgia Constitutional Amendment 1 (a) This state shall recognize as marriage only the union of man and woman. Marriages between persons of the same sex are prohibited in this state. (b) No union between persons of the same sex shall be recognized by this state as entitled to the benefits of marriage.
North Dakota North Dakota Constitutional Measure 1 Marriage consists only of the legal union between a man and a woman. No other domestic union, however denominated, may be recognized as a marriage or given the same or substantially equivalent legal effect
Ohio 2004 State Issue 1 Only a union between one man and one woman may be a marriage valid in or recognized by this state. This state and its political subdivisions shall not create or recognize a legal status for relationships of unmarried individuals that intends to approximate the design, qualities, significance or effect of marriage.
etc etc etc

I don't see how the two are relateable. I've already said I support SSM - although the states have the right to choose.
I'm trying to see how these businesses are forcing their will on people. All I see if threatening letters to burn their building to the ground because they don't agree on something. Such a loving group
uh
the other side is asking for submission to their religious view

I really don't know what you're talking about.
I'm waiting for the religous right to start threatening to burn down Starbucks because they support SSM
I'm agreeing with Sturg too much lately ... can't be healthy.

Why are they called the LGBT "Crowd"
?
I have to laugh at cherry picked instances of people acting like jerks.
Then equating everyone of that persuasion into a "crowd"
As in Westboro Baptist goes on a rant and the left condemns the Christian "Crowd"
Hate when that happens
Why not just a Jerk "Crowd"
?

Why even identify people as LGBT(Q) ?
