Tell me why gays receive more protection than the right to bear arms?

Firing someone for being gay will result in a civil rights lawsuit.

Refusing to serve gays will result in a civil rights lawsuit.

But yet companies can refuse to serve and fire employees who exercise their right to bear arms.

Same thing goes for being black, jewish,,, or anything else.

A company could not fire someone for being a gun owner thus it is not the same as firing someone for being gay. If companies were not allowed to fire a gay employee for having gay sex on company property, then this would be similar. Until then these situations are different and you're a troll.

When it comes to guns, yes. The business can tell you it's not permitted in the business.

But if a business were to tell a gay person or black person they were not permitted on the property, that business would be sued.

You voted democrat, you are not allowed here.

You are jewish, you are not allowed here.

Why do certain rights receive special protection under the law?


Btw TH, yes I would like you to be banned. This thread is a great example of why.

You are not a nice person.

You are ignoring the fact that one of those agreements was with a religious organization.

I would expect as much; it is so, because I believe it to be - regardless of the laws,.. unless those laws support what I beleive.

I see it in your other posts as well.

Since you scream about due process, yet are OK with murdering a doctor.

You yell about protecting the children, but preach against life saving vaccinations for children.

Beliefs over ride laws, rules and agreements - unless those beliefs are of non-Christian origin,.. right?

You are ignoring the law of the land. Or, rather pretending to, for the sake of trolling.

You don't know the law and others have educated you on it yet you continue to troll.

Typical TH thread......

Now notice how he is slowly trying to turn it into some anti-gay thing as well? Soon we'll get to hear about abortion and vaccinations to I'm sure. Maybe some random whining about the ACA because his deadbeat stepdaughter can't get her tubes tied for free.

LMK if I've missed any.

I don't know why you keep trying. Everyone else understands what you mean, and TH feels like he found a "way out" because one is a "belief" (wth?), even though they're both written contracts.

I can't figure out how he is allowed to still post after stating abortion Dr's should be murdered,..

Wrong. Being black (or white, or Asian, or Indian), Jewish (or Christian, or Muslim), or young (or old) or being a woman (or man) are all protected classes. Being a gun owner is not one. Being gay is (currently, with the hope it changes soon) is not one either. Several states are allowed to fire someone based on sexuality, in fact, more than half of the states can do that.

This issue is not a discrimination issue. The employee willing agreed to abide by the rules set forth by the employer (none of which are discriminatory) and violated said rules. Thus, she her employment was terminated. If she had agreed to not show up to work devoid of clothing and did as such, she also would have been reprimanded. Is freedom of expression not a constitutional right?

Not only will this case be thrown out, I hope this woman is stripped of her CC permit on grounds of being a moron who brings a gun into a bank AND to work.

Maybe gun ownership needs to be a protected class. After all it is a protected right.

So a company can say if you become jewish you are fired?

Would that be ok?


Just going to keep ignoring the part where your religion is a protected class? It was in the first part you quoted.

So unless gun ownership is a considered a protected class, companies can discriminate?

Maybe because you do not understand what that thread was about?

I understand clearly; you want people punished, based on what you believe.

You are OK with harming children - by not giving them vaccinations.

You want Dr's murdered over performing legal medical procedures.

You want agreements broken, based on whatever the person feels/believes.

You are above whatever law/rules govern you, because you believe in God. I can only assume it is Jesus. And, man, you are in for one rude surprise when you go before Him.

#1) if you REALLY believe this stuff, He will point out what is wrong with it.

#2) if you are just trolling, well, you lied about some pretty important stuff in life.

And #3), if you don't believe in anything, know at least that you reap what you sow.

This isn't even about firing a person for being a gun owner. This woman's loss of employment didn't occur because she is a gun owner. It occurred because she opted to bring the firearm into her work. If a gay man decided to have sexual intercourse with another man at work, he'd be fired too and it wouldn't be because he was gay.

You have a right to free speech as well but if you tell your boss to go fuck himself your free speech won't protect you from being fired.

You accuse someone else of being obtuse?

Sadly I'm starting to agree now.

I think TH is a confused old man, but this shtick of making multiple new troll threads every day is getting hard to deal with.

Fixed that for you.

Don't forget he once let a silent fart in an elevator and blamed it on the Nun.
