I guess he can now call his tour the "Summer of 68" tour, where he'll owe Mississippi one.

Why is everyone making a big deal about this shite?

All the LGBT law does is protect business owners from being sued if they refuse to serve LGBT people. It's not like all Mississippi businesses are turning down LGBT people. In Louisiana and several other states you can turn down gay people and they can't do shite.

More importantly, Why would anyone want to go somewhere where they are not wanted?

So a private business owner has no rights? Like the decision of your business NOT to perform...

But yea, let's force others to perform their craft when the exercise their right NOT to and exercise their beliefs.

So Brian, you want the right but deny it to others while claiming to want rights for everyone!

I bet the real reason he canceled is that his 1986 Ford van broke down.

This. But I do add that I one was created gay; if they were, it would be in their DNA. Science has struck out looking for the gay gene.

I saw on the news where they interviewed a Christian, Republican bakery store owner shortly after the law passed.
They asked him if he would make and sell a wedding cake to a gay couple.


And they would be in the group of people that align themselves as opposing the law.

I've had plenty of Republican & Christian friends speak out against these laws in recent weeks. Why do people assume that just because someone is Republican or Christian that they would automatically choose not to provide services to an LGBT person or for a gay wedding? Many Christians have come out and said that it is not Christ-like to turn away others. I agree with that, however, I also realize that there are Christians that tend to be far more conservative. They have beliefs as well, and I don't like the idea of the government saying that someone else's beliefs matter more than theirs. That's why I say that we should let the free market decide. I suspect that because most people these days tend to be more accepting of alternative lifestyles, that we aren't going to see large scale discrimination. In fact, we'll likely see more discrimination against these fundamentalist businesses.

The same can be said for completely curing cancer or aids, figuring out nuclear fusion, or finding life on other planets.

I'm not saying that the gay gene exists, I just find your argument ridiculous.

Exactly.

Who did Jesus eat with?

People do lots of stuff I don't agree with and I am sure I do lots of stuff they don't agree with.

I don't judge anyone and I would prefer they don't judge me.

You don't believe in hell. Why would the concept of hell bother you?

You don't want me to believe in hell?
