Such an unbelievable ruling, but this is really the best possible response. If conservatives thought they were persecuted before…

Trump supporters often have manias of persecution. Wouldn't these signs feed it, though?

Probably. But if they don't get it here, they'll find it elsewhere. We shouldn't change things to mollycoddle people who are constantly seeking a reason to be offended.

For all their complaining about safe spaces, they're the ones who seemingly need it the most.

Probably because reality is left-leaning.

Like their appeals to "basic biology", when actual basic biology is still trans-supportive.

They'd lose their little minds at the countless species that shift gender when necessitated by circumstance, not to mention the ones that generally propagate their line by mating with themselves. Don't even get me started about the evolutionary origins of "labyrinthine vaginas" or the necro proclivities of sea otters. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Simply put: a healthy reading habit is a great inoculation against idiocy. Critical thinking is invaluable.

edit: I'm not drawing a line between any of that, except to point out that a lack of knowledge is no foundation for loud opinions.

Now that #SupremeCourt says we can discriminate, I'm trying to figure out what to tag content. #NoMAGA #NoRepublicans #QueerOnly #NoBreeders #NoChristians

My understanding is that businesses can refuse services which conflict with their beliefs, morals, etc, not broadly refuse to serve people

So you can't refuse someone for being a MAGA clown, but you could refuse to print MAGA shirts for a customer

I can't imagine owning a business and actively promoting your willing to give up sales because of some random person's beliefs.

I fully understand consumers not shopping at a store that puts up signs you disagree with, you can just go to another one.

Nothing wrong in believing in and supporting the good things. I just think I'd not agitate customers if.it were my business.

Honestly i would expect that a webdesigner would not wanna put up with my bullshit way earlier.

Understandable, have a nice day. but no we wanna make a scene.

Nothing wrong with this. Their business their choice. Only time will tell if it was a good choice. depending where it is I dont think it will be. I think everyone is tired of the back and forth bs !
