    The bible isn't dictating an adult or not adult. Our US laws have done that.
    And whether someone is 13 or 33, sexual attraction is that. It's just that those under 18, but really states pick the age of consent, can't have sex legally with someone 18 or older.
    Age has nothing to do with sexual preference.
    You don't even have an argument to begin the conversation. Your grasping.

    - - - Updated - - -

    I'm sure there is some. The world has all kinds of people. If you can dream something up, I'm sure somewhere in the world there are a few like that.
    7B people are a lot of people.

    In reality, why would anyone care if one is gay or not gay?

    The real issue is not whether some folks want to do same sex stuff. I don't care what they do in private.
    But they are not satisfied with private activities, they not only want to flaunt their thrash in everyones' face, they want everyone to accept, celebrate and participate in their self destructive behavior, AND NOW THEY ARE PUNISHING ANYONE WHO DOES NOT COMPLY WITH THEIR FALSE MENTALITY.
    NO DIFFERENT THAN THE MENTALITY THAT SOUGHT TO DESTROY LOT FOR NOT SURRENDERING HIS GUESTS TO THEIR DEPRADATIONS.

    Oh yaaaawn, bigots, racists, bla bla. Change the record, it lost and will always lose.

    Fact is, many people are repulsed by homosexuality.

    Absolutely agree, though I wouldn't say being gay is at all self-destructive. Nothing wrong with gays doing there thingy in private, but the drive for in-your-face gay everywhere is repugnant.



    OK...we'll part company on that one :smile: :smile: :smile:.

    Fact is, those who discriminate are bigots. They should wear it proud.
    The record will never change as long as there are those intolerant of others, which is the definition of bigot. You probably didn't know that.
    And it will always win.
    Since you seem offended by it, are you an intolerant person???

    You altered a post. A thread violation btw.
    And you didn't answer, why would anyone care if one is gay or not gay?

    Where do you live that gays are in your face everywhere? Everyday.
    Crap, less than 3% of the world are gay. And I bet you love watching gay women.

    You don't need a license to throw someone out. Most businesses don't require a license. And you don't need permission from the government. Its your property and business.

    I doubt that. You usually need to show you're doing things according to health and safety regulations.

    The homosexuals have moved on way beyond toleration to step 5 where they become totally without toleration for the rest of society that does not play their sex games, and are now punishing people for not celebrating it nor participating in it.
    They are now using the court system to do the punishment.

    All businesses require a business license.
    Stipulations and requirements come with the license.

    No one cares that you don't want to celebrate a same sex marriage, no one cares that you have a false belief about what marriage means legally, no one wants you to participate in their union - instead, they are demanding that you follow the law when you operate a for profit business open to the public - just like businesses are required to do with religious people.

    There are many avenues a Christian business can go about actively choosing their customers but they would lose out on too much money, greed - they want to rig the system to their liking.

    You don't have a clue. Maybe in some states Im not aware of, not in most states for most kinds of businesses.


    Federal Licenses & Permits

    Certain businesses, like ones that sell alcohol or firearms, require a federal license or permit. Find out which ones impact your business and how you can comply.

    State Licenses & Permits

    Some states have requirements for specific businesses. Find out what business licenses and permits you need in your state.

    The queers are punishing the folks that don't want to participate in their public sin. And our corrupt courts are supporting them.
    The word discriminate is 2 words:
    Dis or undo and crime. Anyone who does not discriminate between right and wrong is contributing to the wrong. And no one has a duty to serve a customer that the store keeper doesn't want in his place of business.
    But the Queers want to impose themselves and punish those who refuse to be imposed upon.

    Now if that nice Communist license to exist says you can't refuse anyone no matter how disgusting, then you gotta play the game and serve them. Or if your store is in a place where they require you to serve everybody, then that's another story.

    And, even if they violated some subtle rule, it is a crime to destroy their business over such a minor thing.
    But, we don't live in America anymore. The scheise kopf Congress took away everyone's right with their "Patriot Act".
    The system is gradually bringing their Talmudic Noahide laws in place. The same anti-Christ Noahide laws the US enforces in Syria by cutting off the heads of Christians there.
    Congratulations pseudo-Christian America, you've made a big mess of things with your Armageddon Second coming lies.

    There's 300M people in the US. 3% or so are gay. So what, about 1M gays? And how many cases have been brought to court because bigots need to hate? 5 or so.
    Yes, they are so totally intolerant.
    And the bigots who run public businesses and break their business license agreement only have themselves to blame.
    So spare us all your whining.

    Spare the immoral views you believe. Hate isn't something the rest of us care to have.

    You didn't even read the next page of your own source, not that I'm surprised - like always you found something that kinda said what your motive was and stopped:
    "Virtually every business needs some form of license or permit to operate legally"


    "Most states and many cities or counties require that you obtain a license, permit or registration when you start a business, typically for tax purposes and sometimes to protect public health and safety."

    Any business that sells goods require a license to do so in every state.

    That would make this true for all of the orginizations that are refusing to follow state or local law. We are not talking about a consultation service, which are sometimes not mandated to have a business license.

    Yawn
    The same bs was used to try and keep blacks out of restaurants and hotels.
    SCOTUS sided with public accommodation.

    "You're a sinner" is not a legal argument.

    Like I've said before, loud militant gays are their own worst enemy because they make people hate all gays including the decent friendly ones.
    I recently saw two gays walk hand in hand past the Captain Jaspers biker meeting place here in Plymouth, maybe they were hoping to trigger jeers from the bikers so they could sue them for "hate speech", but the bikers completely ignored them, haha..:)

    PS- God zapped Sodom/Gomorrah as an object lesson because they were full of loud militant totally depraved gays, they weren't decent friendly ones at all.

    Yes... a male-female couple holding hands is not provocative. But you spotting a male-male couple doing that, and you clearly went nuts in your head with a conspiracy theories. lol

    I'm intolerant of overt displays of gay behaviour in public. Gays can do whatever they want in private.


    What did I change?

    Not remotely every day. I don't like it at all, whatever the quantity. And yes, guilty as charged with the girl on girl.

    They were walking past a biker meeting. Not necessarily where an innocent display of homosexuality is likely to be indulged in. It might have been coincidence, but they couldn't have chosen a worse environment for "innocent" behavior. My money would be on an attempt at provocation. Bikers aren't known for their..."metrosexuality".

    Ah right. When gay and living in a free country, than holding hands is not innocent... but "innocent", and you're not free as a heterosexual couple.

    holding hands.... is indeed a provocation.
    What are those gay people thinking?


    Good grieve. It's good that governments hunt down discriminating thugs and shove down 21st century norms and values down the throat.
