    I'll say it again. There is no evidence (at all - zero, nil, nada, zilch) that homosexuality is genetic.

    I urge you to give it a try. Post that you're encouraging people to seek out gay conversion therapy. Put it on Tw!tter.

    I'm only addressing that right. The right of refusal to entry or service.

    If the person is stupid enough to declare a reason which happens to be illegal, that's something entirely different. What the owner says while refusing entry isn't relevant - because it will differ with every single case. This is about the buck stopping at private property law.

    How many ways do you want it explained? It doesn't matter what is 'displayed', or what is theorised, there is currently no evidence of genetic homosexuality. We simply haven't reached that point of knowledge - and likely never will. All we have the capacity to know is that there are neurological changes. We have no way of knowing what caused those changes. Any 'science' you're looking at which muddies or ignores that crucial fact, is bad science.

    Why oh why is this soooo hard to grasp.

    Once again - yes you CAN refuse service or entry on those grounds. Any time you like - all day long - every day ... if that's what you want to do.

    The only thing you can't do is tell the person that that's why they're being refused. But that's a completely different matter, and has nothing to do with private property law.

    You're talking about something else. You're talking about human interactions - and that has nothing to do with private property law.

    As usual you have nothing but rhetoric.

    I'm giving you the current actual science. Since you appear to be interested in science - or at least the new moderated version tolerated by 'the church', I encourage you to look into it. You will find there is no evidence - yet or likely to be discovered - for a genetic cause for homosexuality. Nothing. We're not even close.

    It's not 'my opinion', it's scientific reality. Check it out for yourself.

    they do matter, just cause one doesn't tell the truth and gets away with the crime, doesn't mean the truth did not matter

    unless you are just saying if the cops can't prove the truth, it doesn't matter in 'court', that I agree with - but the truth still matters

    Totally beside the point. We're discussing laws.

    just because one gets away with the crime by lying or omitting facts, doesn't change the fact it's a crime

    It's in no way a 'crime' to think what you will about others. Sorry, that's just total BS.

    it's illegal to discriminate, you said, you can do it, just not say why you're doing it

    you said "If the person is stupid enough to declare a reason which happens to be illegal"

    you said "All they can't do (if they value their business and/or hide) is tell the individual that that was why they were refused"

    THINKING discrimination is NOT ILLEGAL!

    You can think the most godawful thoughts about that person you don't want in your store, with absolute legal impunity - obviously. How can you be

    the fact is, I know I never had a choice, I do understand that people that are born bi-sexual have a hard time understanding that heterosexuals and homosexuals do not have a choice as they think everyone is like them

    Please educate yourself. Animals display DOMINANCE not homosexuality. Provide ONE example of a male animal penetrating another male animal voluntarily.

    It doesn’t exist. Anywhere in the animal kingdom outside of humans. Period. If it does, provide the source.

    If it’s illegal to discriminate then why does our government provide tax credits for hiring any race of contractor except for white ones? Essentially paying businesses to hire anyone except for white contractors.

    If it’s illegal to discriminate why does our government provide tax incentives for investing in minority businesses but not white ones? Essentially paying entities to invest in any business except for those owned by whites.

    if it’s illegal to discriminate why do we have a county government in Oregon creating safe spaces for people of color with no whites allowed?

    If it’s illegal to discriminate then how does NY set aside $1.2B in taxpayer funds for minority business owners that whites can’t access because they have white skin?

    If it’s illegal to discriminate why are our schools being inundated with critical race theory and intersectionality ideologies which teach white children they’re inherently racist and privileged due to their skin color?

    I can go on if you’d like.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Weren't we just told that Facebook and other social media companies have the right to disallow service to opposing views points?

    Watch how fast the left flip sides now it's one of their token minorities being ousted.
