> The view they have is that the wording describes the ‘religious freedom’ law as discrimination and that by putting it in those terms, the attempt is to shame businesses that follow their conscience and religion to refuse gay people service.

Ironically, they are calling the governor a liar, because the sticker doesn’t say anything about the law, it just says, “We don’t discriminate.” The governor said that the law wasn’t about discrimination.

My mom, bless her heart, is 95. She is always complaining about how many black people there are on TV, especially “The View,” which I think has one black woman and four white women.

> Wow, just wow. How are the gay, lesbian, etc, customers supposed to know where to take their business? Is it expected that they just must be refused at places until they luck out?

I believe the theory is that if they are refused service often enough, they’ll turn straight.
