    Why would I bother so you can just dismiss it and say at least gay people don't have it as bad as people in countries that murder them, the education is in religious schools that receive federal or state funding and there have been numerous instances of gay people or even their children being denied healthcare. Feel free to look them up. You can start with Tennessee allowing therapists to deny services but only to gay people.

    Religious schools are private institutions that can discriminate like any other private organization.

    Just like the private gay-only organizations that discriminate against straight people.

    Woe is me. I'm being repressed.

    Random laugh of the day from the archives, since there's been economy talk in this thread:

    “[Trump’s] statements reveal a deep ignorance of economics ... He promotes magical thinking and conspiracy theories over sober assessments of feasible economic policy options. ... If elected, he poses a unique danger ... to the prosperity of the country. For these reasons, we strongly recommend that you do not vote for Donald Trump.” --790 economists, the week before the 2016 election. The esteemed signatories included a dozen Harvard professors and a slew of Nobel Prize winners, such as Angus Deaton of Princeton, Oliver Hart and Eric Maskin of Harvard, and Kenneth J. Arrow of Stanford."

    A NYC billionaire and his sons connect with average Americans more than any Democrat.

    Name a single gay organization that receives federal or state funds of any kind that discriminates against heterosexuals.

    I don't think the Tennessee thing is what you want it to be.

    https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo...erapists-refuse-patients-on-religious-grounds

    "First, the bill clearly states that it 'shall not apply to a counselor or therapist when an individual seeking or undergoing counseling is in imminent danger of harming themselves or others.' Secondly, the bill requires that any counselor or therapist who feels they cannot serve a client due to the counselor's sincerely held principles must coordinate a referral of the client to another counselor or therapist who will provide the counseling or therapy."

    Why are you discriminating against religious people?

    Why would I do that?

    The examples you keep using are all based on religion and not state/federally funded.

    Why are you discriminating against people's religious beliefs?

    It was an epic speech, I also loved the enthusiasm from the Republicans, Love of country.

    You love your country you work hard to make it better, you make your country better you improve living standards for all those within it. And this non-globalist view is exactly why the Globalist Dems hate "Love of country" & Trump who inspires it.

    Like they have been doing for millennia...
    Equality under the law isn’t discrimination.

    Because you made the absurd accusation

    If an organization receives or controls federal or state funds they are at least partially federally or state funded.

    No.

    The ONLY examples you have given so far are religious exemptions.

    Why do you want to take away religious rights?

    The state dictating against people's religions is.

    Should the government say they don't recognize your right to discriminate against sleeping with women and force you to marry a woman?

    That's no different than telling a religious person they have to support homosexuality.

    Mmm... keep your eyes on the 'fifty-billion-dollar-man' -- Mikey Bloomberg!

    The Democrat insider 'brain-trust' trotted him out late last year when it was obvious that Joe Biden had shot himself in BOTH feet after his spectacular Ukraine corruption was revealed, and they needed someone who wasn't some kind of fringe-weirdo who alienates the 'rational Middle-Class'! Enter -- Mikey, and a pool of wealth that is approximately twenty-five times as great as Donald Trump is worth!

    Think -- Mikey has run one of the most important, wealthiest metro areas in the WORLD, he actually knows WHAT an economy is, and he understands how to run a very large, very successful business! He will be a powerful force in this election!

    [​IMG]. "But, we're so 'politically correct', and, such a cute couple...!" :woot:

    Why should religious organizations be given taxpayer funds when they can deny services to some taxpayers?

    I don’t care what religious organizations do, as long as they do it with their own money and don’t stand in the way of others being treated equally.

    0% in IA isn't very powerful.

    To the Dems, being gay is a qualification.

    Again, I don’t care what they support, I care how they are funded.
