I'd have fired their asses.
Then the lawsuits would be interesting.

yet indicated that those that provide goods/services must provide said goods/services unless some strong reason applies
["when you are a business that provides a good or a service then you have the duty to offer those goods/services to everyone. there are reasons to deny someone those goods/services but that is only under an abnormal circumstance ==> being gay does not count as an abnormal circumstance. "]
So to clarify, why can an independent Muslim taxi driver refuse service due to his religious beliefs, yet the independent Christian baker cannot?
i never said that. discrimination is discrimination regardless of religion. I said that in my first post in this thread. refusing service based on orientation is wrong regardless of religion.
all i said is an indy cab driver can choose what types of advertisements to put on his cab unless he is entered into a contract with an ad agency and is required to put up what they give him.
a christian baker has the right to put any type of ad or refuse to put up a type of ad in his window

Splitting hairs and you know it. If muslim drivers can refuse to participate and that is OK with you (for purely sexual orientation reasons), why are Christian bakers not allowed to refuse service for the same sexual orientation reasons?

if they belong to a cab company then the company has the right to fire them for not doing their jobs.
if they are indy, then they can do whatever the F*** they want but it's their loss.
And why would an indy be able to refuse in a world where a private baker can't say no to a gay wedding?

RE: Cleveland Muslims won't drive gay cabs
Funny how when I checkmate johnny, he starts with the insults. Particularly when I levied none on the open forum. I am illiterate when he cannot answer my question based upon his posts; yet, he calls me imbecilic names when I corner him to a point where he has no logical escape route.
Check. Mate. *****.

it's not a checkmate. i have been perfectly clear on where i stand here. but just so you guys are clear and there is no confusion.
say you have an indy baker & indy cab driver
both are free to put any advertising sign up in their shop/cab as long as it falls within the laws of what advertisements are allowed to advertise. that is a freedom of speech/freedom of expression issue and both can do whatever they damn please.
but when it comes to actual denial of service to customers. in some cases they can, but sexual orientation is not one of them.
Now.......
are there any GOPers that still dont get it

Well seing his explination down thread he is right in that to him there is a substantive difference between denying the service you provide and advertising...
I think, in principle, if you can sue the hell out of an artist for not providing a custom service based on their religion it's a damn fine line at best. I think his overall position on freedom of association and religion is off as well but there is a different between the services you sell and side services like advertising.
