(55,894 posts)using this thread to get your outrage on. Glad I clicked through the link and ignored the distractions:
"There is ruthless irony in this argument because LGBT advocates have been trying to get the Elliott-Larsen Civil Rights Act changed to include the LGBT community; the full LGBT community including trans* people. It is largely because of transphobia that a move toward updating the ELCA was abandoned during the 2014 lame duck session. Now this same civil rights law is being used AGAINST a business that is simply living out its credo of being a "No Judgment Zone". To add further insult to already egregious injury, there is a legislative effort that is in its final stages that will allow businesses to deny services to people based on so-called "sincerely-held religious beliefs". Tolerance and acceptance are, apparently, not part of those religious beliefs."
