I am in this camp being as I do not view Biden nor Trump as the best candidate.

For goodness sake.. it is a screen name. the fact that you take it so literally is a "you" problem. Yes, I do agree with the LGTBQ community that he should have made the cake. But the law is the law (i know that is hard for you to accept). The law states that he has the right to refuse service. That takes precedence in the legal world and in mine. Now, when I own a business.. i will not discriminate.

Writing a review / opinion of a business is perfectly normal. Yes, I do not find the LGBTQ community repulsive as you do. If I owned a business.. I would not care if my customer was gay, straight, male, female, old, young, christian, muslim... etc. I do agree that the business owner should have done it but he also has the right to refuse service.. lets repeat that you do not go off into the weeds again.. he has the right to refuse service. I respect that law. He has the right to operate a business and do as he likes and I have the right to not support his operations. If enough people agree with him and he stays in business in spite of my review.. then so be it. There is a gun store a few blocks from where I live that is openly racist. I will not support them but they are allowed to exist even if i do not like them.

Hmm... another reading failure on your part. "The gay couple could have easily went elsewhere.".. I would think that you know how to read and interpret this. Apparently, my expectations are too high. I do think it was unnecessary for them to sue and take legal action.

In NV, we have a "green wage". This is 150% or 175% (depending on certain conditions) of the statewide average weekly wage (as determined by the most recent qcew data). This tends to dissuade folks from starting their projects. So not only do you have very high capital costs but now artificially high costs of labor. Yes, there is a tax abatement but that only occurs after the project is finished and the employer has filed wage reports for 5 quarters.

if you could read you would see that I do not demand that anybody does anything. No need to bring this to court and such. No need to publicize and pretend that i am a victim. The gay couple could have easily went elsewhere. Now.. afterwards would have expressed my opinion which apparently is not ok in your book... interesting logic. .

About the baker in Colorado, if I was the couple.. I would have simply chose another baker/service provider. Afterwards, would have wrote a scathing review of his business. Word of mouth has more impact than folks think. Only drawback is that the impact is not immediate or noticeable.

so you can admit that you do not who it is. That's a start. So if you do not know who it is, how can you possibly know that it is being funded in some conspiratorial fashion. This reminds of the id10ts that insist that we are denying their UI claims because they are Conservative or whatever.

I just followed the breadcrumbs that you laid down.

so any and all human relationships are centered around blow jobs.. who knew? By this logic.. you are quite the expert on performing these acts.

Nothing like some good old fashioned hyperbole.

just imploring you to back up your statements with something other than more opinion, rhetoric, assumptions, or propaganda. If I was to state that the unemployment rate in Montana is 3.3% for the month of March.. I could give you the numbers involved in that calculation and where they came from.

I can say with complete certainty that if these protesters were protesting against immigration or abortion.. the conservatives would change their tune instantly.

You really should my posts more carefully. this post ^^^ is based on the idea that I support flying a pride flag. Now.. read carefully again. I would support having no pride flags as a form of compromise with Deluge. His ideas would be a valid compromise.

I learned about it in 4th grade and am white.. was I beaten over the head with it. My point is that any mention of any kind of any length could be construed as CRT. When I learned about it in 4th grade ( and I am as white as white gets).. I did not feel any kind of shame. Bad stuff happened.. and I was not the perpetrator. folks can learn about atrocities and such and not have it be some form of virtual signaling.

I have zero problem with LGBTQ stuff but as a form of compromise.. I think it works. As for if the author is gay.. that would not qualify as LGTBQ literature

I could be in support of no pride flags or homosexual literature. As for CRT.. folks would interpret that as any mention of blacks being mistreated in the past as CRT. It is simple historical fact that we had slavery, jim crow laws, the KKK, and such. An example would be someone demanding that a mural at my kids school of MLK be taken down because it was CRT. Except that the mural dates from 1985 and there is no undue focus on it. Its one data point in the history of the US

Again.. you give no specifics. Failed.

Can you prove who the source is? Must be.. is not sufficient. Can you furnish the name of the source, the dollar amount, and some evidence of the transaction (check number).. or are you just guessing and can't just say that? the usual narrative is that folks roam around and are paid to protest something. They are like traveling magazine salesmen and get into character at each new protest. Your links do not support that narrative. They show folks protesting and then some non profit coming in after and aiding in their ability to continue their protest. lastly.. can you prove that in every protest that there are paid protestors who simply go from to town regardless of topic?

I am not sold on that idea either. Everybody makes these conspiratorial claims but when pressed for specifics, the usual response is "how else do you explain it. you must be stupid to not see the obvious". My response is then.. "if if it so obvious why can't you furnish details such as dollar amounts, who funds it, how they get the funds, etc?". For example, if I claim that player x is the reason that team x wins an NBA playoff game.. I can find a box score and it gives me specifics.

The internet allows to have all these strong opinions and not need to seriously take anybody else into account. The echo chamber allows us to be bold, uncompromising, outspoken, adamant slacktivists.

Can you prove that this is being funded? Spare me the impassioned opinions. Lets see a source, a dollar amount, names of recipients (actual names not simply libbies). Links to articles that agree is not sufficient either.

School policy.. maybe. However, our discussion is much more general. Should it be allowed to exist.. that is the question. I vote yes. However, my point in the beginning is that if you have the first amendment and the internet... the woke content is going to be created and not much you can do about it. There is a market for it. If that market does not contain you.. that means nothing. My friend owns a record store and guess what genre he sells the most of? Rap/ Hip-hop. Is he a fan of it? No. Am I? No again. Him and I not being a fan does not change this.

its only one place but I grew up in Boise, idaho.. there was one "gay bar" and even then it was not exclusively gay. The gays/lesbians still had to be selective about when to go this place. 1985.. there was no internet so tell me how gays found each other in 1985 (as an example). Your article while legit does not give many names. 25 or so is not all that numerous compared to the total elected from 1973 to the present. 1973 being the earliest date listed. I am talking about the concept in general. The AIDS epidemic at first was mostly contained to certain cities where the gay population was relatively high and known. But that is beside the point. The point is them being bold enough to enter the public or political realm. They do this because they can effortlessly and without confrontation band together. the anonymity of the internet emboldens folks.

It does seem strange to have a state owned media outlet. From what I have read, it is a public broadcaster and so the government is going to be involved in some way. If I am off base then fine. If not, does not seem sustainable.
