Racism alive and well with christian fundamentalist in Mississippi
" Religious Rights, Religious Freedoms," we hear it almost screamed out day after day non-stop BUT what about the Rights and Freedoms due to everyone else or are they of little or no concern since they do NOT fit neatly into the Faithfool Folds?
Why is it that the 'religious' can discriminate freely and the rest of society can not?
Are we, the non-believers, not being subjected to discrimination?
Are we, the non-believers, the LGBT communities, those hoping and planning for 'inter-racial' marriages, etc, etc, just lesser humans to those Faithfools and thus deserve to be discriminated against and persecuted so?
Where, exactly, do these Anti-discrimination Laws draw the line on WHO may or may NOT be discriminated against?
Mississippi? Nothing that happens in Mississippi surprises me.
This issue is bigger than where you hold your wedding or who makes your cake. The real issue is the fundamental standard of conduct between people in civilized society, namely whether we want to be an inclusive community that embraces diversity or an exclusive community that ignores our common humanity.
And that is the choice before you in November, also.
I have no issue with this...why give them any money? I'd be like "thank you, for letting me know I don't want to support you, bye!"
And let EVERYONE know about it. Hopefully, they go bankrupt.
@creative51 well...maybe take comfort in this?
"Between 1900 and 2016, Mississippi cast votes for the winning presidential candidate 46.67 percent of the time, the one of the lowest accuracy rates in the country." - Ballotopedia.
It's a free country and you can do business with whomever you want.
Why would anyone want to use the ignorant venue?
Give your business to those who deserve it.
There might be other reasons they would choose it. Like, the size, the location, the facilities. Maybe it's the only one nearby.
Whoops commented in wrong message! Durned smrtphuns!
I hope the couple sues them for a lot of money.
They sued here and the court ruled in favour of the venue. Who knows what they put forward as strong case.
They also have a whites only town in SA called Orania
You get them here too. No gays, no mixed race couples. Pathetic backward racists!
So now Christians have become a 'race.' So if we discriminate against Christians we are racist like them?
@Toonces You bet and I don't mind being this kind of 'racist.' I always question if is is racist to discriminate against racists? Is this a case where two wrongs make a right?
They’re not a race, they’re a creed and not very Christian, from what they taught me about Christ.
