“Opponents tried to get a religious liberty clause attached to the bill because they felt like otherwise this would give LGBT people “super rights”

Christians literally cannot help but make everything about them and their own perceived victimization. (Because yknow, people they don’t like having rights is an attack on them specifically)

Good on the Michigan senate for saying no to that additional bullshit

“Super rights”, like giving a fetus the right to use a different person’s body for 9 months against their will? The Republican base is so brain dead.

That's the whole point. They don't have to think. Theyve been indoctrinated into a religion where questioning things is a sin. And even worse, their bought-out politicians that don't practice Christianity are using their religion as a weapon against human beings, and the Republicans go with it because in their eyes, Rebulicanism is basically an extension of Christianity, so they don't question that either.

It's basically giving themselves the right to punish people because God is going to punish them anyway.

They're using religion as an excuse to further their agenda. We Christians are not your enemy, the republicans are. Hell, I hate even saying that because if not for people putting themselves in these warring groups we could actually get shit done. I just wish people wanted to work together.

No it shouldn’t; that’s just segregation

You choose to live in a society, you exist with all parts of that society

I will not provide service to KKK members or arm band wearing Nazis. And you can get bent if you think I should be forced to

People choose to join the KKK or wear Nazi paraphernalia.

People don't choose to be gay or their gender. These things are influenced by biology.

We grant protections to people based on things they can't control, like age, race, or where they were born.

Ah yes, all the people I know chose to be gay so they'd get kicked out of their homes and excommunicated.

So you're only straight because you're choosing to be straight?

I have news for you, you're probably gay.

I'm straight, but I didn't choose to be. Just don't find the same sex attractive.

Hey, don't speak so quickly. They could be Bi or Pan or maybe even Asexual and they just think they're straight because that's what society tells them to be

Nazis are not a protected class, discriminate against them as much as you like!

Calm down, nice scapegoat though.

Besides, that’s what hate group designations are for.

Besides that, if your store is the kind of store the KKK frequents, who exactly are you marketing to?
