A Colorado baker got into trouble for refusing to make a wedding cake for a Gay couple. then Arizona passed a law that would permit businesses to refuse service to homosexual customers, before it was vetoed.
Now in New Mexico, a gay hairstylist has turned away a very important customer, the Governor because of their stance on homosexual marriage.
Think this is the right thing to do?
I can see why they did what they did, but you have to think it might be smarter to work on convincing the Governor every two weeks to alter their old fashioned beliefs. Not many citizens of the state get the Governor's undivided attention for an hour every two weeks. Besides would you want to piss off the person who has a straight edge razor so close to your throat.
Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.
That's 2-year-old news...You need some new material. But then I guess the source-free, fact-free echo-chamber doesn't give you details...Just enough for an outrage-of-the-day.
New Mexico was in the midst of heated debate about the same rights issues that AZ is going through now...and since then, NM is one of the states that has had its laws re: marriage equality tossed out as unconstitutional.
If the state I live in passed such a discrimination law as AZ just tried to pass, I would feel justified in doing the same thing that AZ pizza-shop did: I would put a HUGE sign in the window that said, "Arizona Legislators not served." Boy, payback's a bitch, ain't it?
(And by the way, the Gov of NM is a woman...I doubt that any stylist would "have a straight razor" at HER throat.)
