(15,675 posts)That instead of the stickers in Mississippi that businesses who are gay-friendly are putting in their windows (that nutjob Christians there claim is discrimination as well), that we do the following:
1. Pass a law that says your business can discriminate against GLBT
2. But you can only discriminate if you apply for and get a special sticker (no questions asked - just, "I want a sticker," bam! You've got one) that you HAVE to put in your business window that shows you discriminate. You don't have one? You've got to bake that gay wedding cake.
3. The stickers will let GLBT and their allies know that you don't want us to spend our money at your business, and we'll stay away in droves because as we're generally more polite, we don't want to put you in the awkward situation of making a living off of us.
4. The discriminating companies can then do business just amongst themselves and their shrinking demographic - content in the knowledge that even though they soon won't be able to make a living, they've shown God that they're on His side.
One guy didn't like the idea and asked me if I couldn't understand that there are some services people feel find with providing to the GLBT community and others they don't want to. So I amended the above so there would be 2 stickers - complete discrimination and partial discrimination, and the latter had to also post a list of what he or she would and wouldn't do for GLBTs. He kept objecting, but I told him I was on his side, and he was going to have to realize that if people like him want to be able to discriminate against gays then there needs to be a system in place to avoid conflict.
And of course, as a conservative, he didn't realize I was being sarcastic.
