Can't deny US services but we can deny YOU services...
uhm... how tolerant...
How is that even fair (your favorite word:"its not FAAAIIIIR"
Gov.Martinez should sue her for discrimination.
I don't think he can do that in Obama's America. If I were Governor Martinez, I'd make the little Nancy cut my hair.

I guess forcing him to cut her hair would be tantamount to slavery... exactly like forcing someone to bake a wedding cake.
But it's completely different when it's gays having to do something they don't like.
Yes, THEIR consciences are purer than others!
Not purer, more equal.
Get with program comrade.
I think he should be forced to cut her hair as he has in the past. The radical gay community feels it has the right to demand services from those who oppose gay marriage. Therefore they should have to do provide services to those who they don't agree with. Oh and if he does a terrible job, he gets to do some state time for a hate crime.
Exactly! What they don't seem to get is, since a world has been created where, if he can force others to act against THEIR conscience, HE can also be forced to act against his. If it were me, I'd sue just to prove that very point.
Except no one wil touch this. Like racism, it is only present in their percieved enemies, not themselves. And the media will back that.
Glad I read through, you trumped me again. Also my first thought, I'd sue in a heartbeat. Enough is enough.
Also, does this mean every hack who refuses a fare because of a dog or alcohol in the grocery bags is fair game? If I have to bake Bubba & Bob a wedding cake, you damn well are taking my ass home regardless of your so-called "religious sensibilities." Don't want to ring up a 6pack in the checkout line? Tough, do it or find a new job. Want to wear your "traditional" gear and still work @ Hooter's? Bwaaahahahahaha.
Unintended consequences of obliterating the notion of the right to assembly and association.
Hey Kip, everybody with a brain, did we all call this one or what?

Well now, there's a tough one!
Muslim rights always seem to trump any other religion's rights, but LGBT rights always trumped anyone's rights. Now, it's like the March Madness finals, the 2 undefeated players now face each other. We now have the clash that the left never wanted to see, because they support both players.
I foresee a cataclysmic explosion from which there will be no survivors.
wouldn't that be nice.
Seriously Kick, I still play this mental game from my fav teacher in HS, he called it flip-it. Back in class it was take something you firmly believe, "flip-it" and poke every hole in it as if you were the opposition and have an answer ready.
But seriously, aren't they shooting a huge hole in every argument I sarcastically made up there? It's either one or the other, that or some people "are more equal than others". Now that I want to see someone try to say in public but that's exactly what they've been doing.
Hey, we're calling an, ahem, SE Asian cab company to take Bob & Bubba's cake as well as the champagne for the toast to their wedding and I have a registered service dog. Do your job or be sued.
Yeah, it's like that grocery store that won't make their Muslim employees work with alcohol or handle pork... Or Disney having to let their employees where the headscarf. Tough sh*t people. No more religious tolerance.
Sorry, guys, a couple of more iPad misses. I think I prefer regular computers.
At least yours doesn't "correct" your wording.
They should force that governor to bake them a gay wedding cake.
