A business can now claim that hiring LGBT people goes against their religion.
If you don't think that will happen, [url=http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/arizona-pols-vote-business-owners-refuse-service-gays-article-1.1647130]a few months ago Arizona tried to pass a bill that allowed business owners to claim religious right so they don't have to serve LGBT people.[/url]

That false interpretation was what took the media by storm, but it wasn't the purpose or effect of the proposed bill.
-
[quote]Republicans stressed that the bill is about protecting religious freedom and not discrimination. They frequently cited the case of a New Mexico photographer who was sued after refusing to take wedding pictures of a gay couple and said Arizona needs a law to protect people in the state from heavy-handed actions by courts and law enforcement.[/quote] Then what is it about?
-
Would you be supportive of a black-owned business denying service to KKK members?
-
That's a pretty big strawman. LGBT people are an oppressed minority fighting for basic rights while the KKK is a hate group that oppresses people for something they can't help.
-
You can't say that the principle matters when you're making exceptions.
-
This is quite possibly one of the dumbest things I've heard during this during an argument for equal rights.
-
Yeah, not a strawman
-
Considering your analogy compares the KKK to the LGBT population I'd say it is. One is a racist hate group that suppresses people for skin color. The LGBT population is a group of people being oppressed for their sexuality and gender. There's a colossal f*cking difference between getting basic rights and equality they don't have compared to straight people and being forced to serve horrible people that are part of a hate group that has killed and oppressed people for decades. If that is not the worst and most despicable analogy for this I don't know what is.

GOOD!
-
That's stupid...
-
You do realize that most states already have this in place. In my area, three counties still allow a business to fire someone for being Gay.

Hiring =/= serving
