We already had this conversation. You don't get to decide who can sit at the lunch counter.

(2,382 posts)... that should not be lost in the toxic debris of this issue. That is:
NOBODY'S "religious beliefs" take precedence over the law. Not in this country, anyway. YOU CANNOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANYONE FOR ANY REASON, YOU EVIL BASTARDS! This... THIS is your sick and twisted vision of Christianity? I would say, God help you, but I am certain that He won't.

(15,158 posts)Not Christian attitudes from where I sit in church - in a congregation that welcomes all. We've had a whole bunch of weddings here since Oregon became a state that supports marriage equality. Fun stuff! But Greg? Gotta edit your post: "I would say, God help you, but I am certain that She won't."

(12,821 posts)On the contrary:the Indiana GOP's religious beliefs ARE now the law!
Just as Republicans have decided that facts must be bent to appease their belief system, so must the laws.
Such are their plans.

NOBODY'S "religious beliefs" take precedence over the law, OR ANYBODY ELSE'S "religious beliefs," either, for that matter!
It's really astounding, isn't it. This is the 21st Century forcryingoutloud.
Seems to me the "we've already had this conversation" part is erupting all over this country like a collective bad acne breakout. The voices of other women echo in my mind - after hearing them puzzle aloud, again and again "I thought this was already SETTLED!" and "WHY are we still fighting this???????" That's just in the women's-right-to-choose arena. But there's more.
I thought SCIENCE was settled. I thought the value of public education was settled. I thought the idea of universal suffrage was settled. I thought the idea that we all pay in to support the common good was settled. I thought the plaque on the Statue of Liberty - the one that starts "Give me your tired, your poor..." was settled as a sacred trust at the very foundations of this country. Sorry to swear, but What the Fucking FUCK???
Ran across this photo during the whole Ferguson mess last year - and it's stuck with me ever since:
