T&Ps to all the HHB dads out there.

Denying service to a certain population for religious beliefs.
That's not a slippery slope at all. -
I didn't realize Christian Laettner was a pillow biter.

The market will work it out. A few back country businesses that give a shit isn't worth getting all worked up over.
99%81% of Indiana businesses will not turn down a buck from the LGBT community. They will go out of their way to advertise that they are gay friendly.
Emmert should just shut the fuck up as usual -
This. If you want to be the person/business to turn down service for stuff like this, fine, by all means go ahead. Good luck with that in today's social media world. The bigger impact is for abortion and stuff like that.RaceBannon said:The market will work it out. A few back country businesses that give a shit isn't worth getting all worked up over.

Almost as if Mark has an abundance of free time to concern himself with stupid shit like this.
-
Disagree. This is huge for Emmert considering that both he and his wife are gay and they LIVE IN INDY!
Why is Emmert pulling his pants on? -
Since Indiana was already one of the states that did not protect all LGBT workers from employment discrimination, does this law now state that if a local government wanted to institute an anti-discrimination policy on its own, that that would be illegal? Or maybe a city/county could pass a policy, but people would not have to follow it?

My understanding is it is pretty narrow. You have to show a legitimate infringement on your religious beliefs. It's the gay wedding cake deal. I don't think you can discriminate in employment.

I agree with what you said earlier, the market will correct itself. If you don't like the gays and don't want their business, then you lose out on their business and the business of those who support them.RaceBannon said:My understanding is it is pretty narrow.

I feel like this bill will just tilt things enough so that if you're that grounded by your faith, it's your choice but if you're one of the gays and offended by this, then you can't file a lawsuit over it either. -
Take this to the D2D and Honda Thunderdome Subforum shitboard.

So I read a little more, and the burden is on the government to prove it has a "compelling interest" to pass a law. So this makes it difficult for local governments.
Indiana does not allow discrimination in state government employment. In other forms of employment it is like the majority of states where an employer can walk up to a worker and say "Hey, you're my best worker, but I didn't know that you are gay. You're fired!" -
As a gay man, I'm offended!!!!

You're fired!"Compelling state interest only applies to laws that restrict a constitutional right. It can be argued that there are competing constitutional rights here; therefore no "compelling state interest" test. I would argue that if the business has competitors that will provide substitute services, no rights have been infringed on LGBT's. However, it's certainly murky enough so a judge can rule any damn way they want.
In your second example, unless you have a written contract you are an "at will" employee, subject to the will of your employer, unless you are a protected class, (race, Viet Nam Vet, etc.). But don't trust me, Honda says I never went to Law School.
BTW, I am unaware of any employment case where a court protected the employment rights of a Viet Nam Vet. So much for "caring" about Vets. Just another law to get us to vote for Patty "If I Only Had a Brain" Murray, even though she votes against every piece of meaningful Veteran legislation. -
At least the Colts are off the hook. They won't have to hire Michael Sam.
