Also, if a baker is so anti-gay, why are you trying to give them your money? Get the press involved, let the fury of public be upon them.
I agree, laws are good for the more subtle forms of racism that exist, but the extremely overt examples? Fuck it, trial in the court of public opinion always does well.
The Republican-led Congress, including Vice President Mike Pence, must immediately bring this charade to closure and censure the president. Trump is not only dragging down the Republicunts, but he is denigrating and destroying the very institutions and values that are the pillars of our democracy. Censure President Donald Trump immediately.

To the extant that the future is dicated by the present, I think the necessary time line is waaaaaaaaaaaaay longer, unfortunately. Look how quickly racist pricks came out of the woodwork after the election of one fellow racist prick. They'll be lurking right under the surface for a long while, ready to poke their heads into the sunlight at the first opportunity.[user not found] wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 7:47 amAh I misinterpreted 'becoming'.

Of course you can't, but that's not the intent of the legislation. It's intent is to protect people from the shitty actions of the "not nice".Big Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:54 amyea, and it sucks. BUt you cant legislate people into being 'nice'wap wrote: ↑Tue Dec 19, 2017 11:50 am

...Is this a veiled attempt by Columbus’ liberal community to paint political conservatives as Nazi sympathizers if they choose not to jump on their ridiculous, politically-correct bandwagon? Could we be witnessing the birth of Columbus’ thought police?
