I remember seeing these signs all over the place. Where did they go and why did they disappear? I believe if I own a business, I should be able to decide who I do what for, NOT the frickin government.
I really don't want to start an argument about religion or gay rights or what ever. I have no dog in this fight. I can see both sides.
What are your thoughts?

This isn't about gay rights or religion, this is about private property and how the left wants to destroy private property rights.
If a person voted for Obama that person voted to destroy their own rights to their own property.
Went out with common curtesy, morals and being able to freely admit your Christian and Conservative.

Remember the Model T, "You can have it in any color, so long as it's black?" Well, you have the right to refuse service to anyone, so long as they're a straight white conservative middle-class male.

You left out heterosexual, independent and self sufficient.
I still see those signs but mostly in bars and restaurants. By the logic in that article a business can't tell me to leave my CCW in the car.
Walk into an Asian owned business and the sign will be there.

^This. Study the 10 (or 12 or whatever) "planks" of Communism. You'll find this in the list. And for extra bonus points, anyone here know where those came from, original source?

As compared to hetro couples who keep them tied to a heater with bucket for a bathroom ? ? ?
PLEASE............................... Ones sexual preference doesn't make them a good or bad parent. It's how they act and conduct them self.
The gays / lesbians we know, outside of their home setting, you'd be hard pressed to know they were or were not gay. In fact the average "gay" person prefers to maintain a low profile, not an activist . Like an average gun owner, instead of someone like the figurehead of a well known STAUNCH SECOND AMENDMENT GROUP.
So stop the [panic] regarding gays adopting boys. .

Well, your comment was kind of ridiculous.

Yes it did knowing a few folks in the gay community . I've seen first hand them taking in not 1 but 2 youths, who had been passed through the revolving door of adoption agency's for years.
No one (ok not all) adoptive parents want the burden dealing with kids who have fetal alcohol syndrome among other drug issue no thanks to their "stellar" heterosexual vaginal cavity mothers lifestyle. They spent time and love bring back kids who almost everyone gave up on. Do heterosexual couples shoulder the same burden, of course.
HOWEVER
Your stupid comment was akin to someone saying ALL GUN OWNERS HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS.
Nope. Hint, it's a lady...
Hillary? :) I don't know, I thought it was Marx (stupid) not Marx (haha).

1. Abolition of private property in land and application of all rents of land to public purpose.
It's become clear that the Powers That Be have decreed that business owners may no longer use the religion-vs-sexual-orientation argument AT THIS TIME. We'll see how that goes over when they try it with a Muslim bakery (yeah, I know they have, but the people haven't made a monstrous stink about it to the news yet.) In the meantime, business owners need to start coming up with a better reason than "my religion doesn't condone this" - no matter how legitimate this reason may be- because the Powers That Be no longer have their back. So, it's time to use a new plan. How about "I'm sorry, I'm booked up that week"?

As I posted on Facebook.
So if a Christian black man wants to be married to an Buddhist Asian man, by a Jewish Rabbi in a Muslim mosque and be serenaded by an acapella of midget strippers they have to allow that right?

Before this gets too far out of control, let me ask this. Can't a business just say no, without giving a reason? How about I just don't want to work for you? Period. End of story.

Their primary objective is to destroy American culture, heritage, and traditions. America has been the shining beacon of the power of individual responsibility, self-reliance, and independence and leftists just can't tolerate any of that. Destroying private property rights is just a bonus.

Thus destroying a nation.

Yes.
Now that we've identified the problem, what is the solution?
One facet of my solution is to educate myself in history and current events.

How about, "yes we make gay wedding cakes, they start at $10,000, how many would you like?"

That concept is not at all out of line for high demand specialty items. I knew a face painter that agreed to paint a dudes mouth as a vagina with the stipulation that it was going to be $50, all his friends stand in a circle around the artist while she did the painting, and there would be zero jackassery during the whole thing. A deal was struck and everyone went away happy.
Chuck and Julie are talking about this now.
Masterpiece Bakery makes delicious brownies and cakes and cookies, if you are in the area of Hampden (285) and Wadsworth stop in and get a bite, they are directly east of Green Mountain Guns in the corner store of the strip mall.

I've never understood why groups would want to force a private business to take their money if that business doesn't support their way of life.

and the leftists think that only the people on the right should practice it, another case of "do as I say, not as I do".
