Ya know what?  As long as nobody sued them and as long as nobody is creating any new law to either allow or prohibit discriminatory business practices based on religious belief, I'm good with it.  We all know their bigotry hurt them far more than they care to admit, and THAT is why they've gone out of business.

This crap with suing business owners has got to stop though.  So does the crap with passing laws to protect either party. All it does is hurt the cause and give bigots more reasons to complain. If a bakery refuses to make you a cake based solely on their belief that they will burn in hell for contributing to your sexual deviancy, it just shows how stupid and ignorant they are.  Just find another bakery, because you can't fix that kind of stupid.  Even if you are theoretically able to strongarm them into making it, the last thing you want is for someone you've pissed off - especially some crusading religious zealot - to be handling/making food that you will eat.  Ever seen the movie "Waiting.."?  Yeah..

These kind of cases work themselves out. This is not the first "Bigot Bakery" to fold as a result of the negative publicity they receive.

DUH.

AS if we didn't know that.

A Catholic priest who is accused of molesting three boys had a large collection of gay porn, a court has heard.

Father Anthony McSweeney, 68, denies molesting three teenage boys between 1979 and 1981 at Grafton Close Children’s Home.

According to the BBC, the priest admitted to Southwark Crown Court that he bought gay porn in Amsterdam’s Red Light District alongside care home manager John Stingemore.

He kept the porn collection secret until he was discovered by his parish’s cleaner at St Peter’s in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex.

McSweeney said he was “ashamed” of his habit, and became emotional during his testimony.

The priest also admitted that Mr Stingemore – who died weeks before the trial – had shown him a clip of child porn, but says it did not raise “alarm bells”.

He said: He replied: “It didn’t occur to me, I can’t answer why. I suppose I was a bit surprised, a bit shocked and I just got rid of it.

“I just blanked it out, I guess. I didn’t give it any more thought. I’m desperately ashamed.”

Father McSweeney denies all charges.

The trial continues.

my first was a priest too but i loved him very much

a similar thing was done in shanghai few years ago, ironically it was organized in a closed restaurant

He refers to himself as a "comedian" and an "occasional writer".  Other than that, I have no idea who he is.

Religion and business are 2 completely separate things, at least to me, but not to the US Supreme Court.

I can accept religious "businesses" (ie churches) being allowed to refuse people that violate their faith.  HOWEVER, as far as I'm concerned and despite the Supreme Court ruling, businesses should not be allowed to discriminate.

As I pointed out in my previous comment, only gay people are legally allowed to be discriminated against.

You aren't allowed to discriminate against an interracial married couple, even though the bible and many other holy texts say you can't marry outside your own.  The bible was used to justify slavery, and still is in many places, based on the "blackness" being the mark of Cain.

That's the problem, every other group is protected except for LGBTs.

Douches like him who do drug dealing deserve no pity. Hope he has a nice time in prison as the new fag.

Haha… You're assuming that he will go to a federal facility. In the lower state/provincial facilities (depending on if you're in Canada or the USA), that kind of thing is relatively uncommon... If however you're in a federal facility where generally sentences run no less than 2 years, then you're probably correct with that assessment hehe
