But their plight will create some very big laws and they won't be in the GLBT's favor. Not a great strategy to go after these folks. Americans will fight to protect a small business "underdog."

Allowing African Americans to eat at a lunch counter, use the same waiting rooms or water fountains was forbidden back then.

ASSocitate Justice Clarence Thomas would have been forbidden from marrying his white wife.

Please get into this century.

and is causing this flurry of religious lawmaking.

you will get the attention of people who actually supported your cause. I am suggesting that the reason many of these religious laws are being put into place is because of this strategy of going after mom and pop stores. If we end up with Americans supporting more theocracy in government--a terrifying prospect--it will be mostly at the feet of the GLBT activists who, in their unthinking emotional zeal, are waking sleeping dogs.

When oh when will someone finally rise up in defense of racists and homophobes?

If Americans start moving to more theocratic ideas, much of it will lie at the feet of the GLBT movement. You go after soft, vulnerable targets, you get the ire of the American people up. And even the non-church-goers will feel a certain solidarity with Christian shop owners.

A&E & big franchises discontinued some advertising on the high rated show Duck Dynasty because Phil Robertson made some anti-gay comments then all the evangelicals & their networks all angrily complained and the put the ads & merchandise advertising back up.

How about blame religious bigots for who they are -- blaming going after mom & pop stores for religious laws? It doesn't even matter, Arizona put a gay marriage ban on the ballot twice in the early 2000s.

Thanks, but I'll err on the side of equality.

The ones I appreciate and align myself with are the ones that fight for the rights of all individuals to be treated equally, regardless of race, age, gender, or sexual orientation.
