It's your responsibility to know the laws in your area that deal with businesses.<br />4) Isn't it disingenuous to claim you are being picked on for discrimination because people don't want to do business with bigots? Why is it other people's fault that you decided on a limited scope business model which is illegal not only in your town but your county and commonwealth?<br />5) People who try to use Christianity as an excuse for their bigotry (racial, sexual, economic, etc.) just prove they have never read the New Testament. Hint: It's about love and acceptance, not hatred and bigotry.Rene' Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11571951354157602146noreply@blogger.com
