This was always legal. I'm an attorney, I do not represent any Trump supporters. If a client says something favorable about trump, they are no longer my client. They are just too stupid, judgement too poor, don't understand difference between reality and fantasy. They make the absolute worst clients.

...I feel like you've got some stories you could be sharing

If they're trump supporters... they probably wouldn't be paying you anyway.

Transcription for the blind: Storefront with two paper signs taped to the window. Left sign says "Since the supreme court had ruled that businesses can discriminate...NO SALES TO TRUMP SUPPORTERS. Right sign says "We only sell to churches that fly the pride flag" and has an illustrated image of a pride flag and a church.

-Transcription done by a human volunteer. Let me know how I can do better.

To be fair if I see a sign saying they support Trump, GOP, or anti-LGBT I keep walking on by. I have seen many places that say if you are a bigot, sexist, or racist you are not welcome here. Those are the places I spend my money at.

Exactly. A Trump sign at a business guarantees that business won't get my money now or in the future.

There's a large grocery store chain here that the owner was at the Jan 6th insurrection. A lot of people, including myself, refuse to shop there now.

Those signs won’t stop them because they can’t read

That's something that I could get behind.

Uh yes. Example: What was all that flak when bakery's denied service to lesbian couples. What is next deny service to whites? Hate is going full circle, hence the hypocrisy. Shit like that is only giving ammunition to the othersides.

[–] ComfyMuffin@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

We did a case study on this in college. The bakery didn't refuse service to them, they told the couple that they were more than welcome to pick any of the predesigned cakes they had, but the bakery wouldn't make a pride specific cake.

I don't think you know what the word hypocrite means.

[–] Batpool23@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Striving for equality and acceptance by promoting hate towards others beliefs. Yes, I'd say that is hypocritical. What word would you use to describe them?

[–] Platomus@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Hate towards beiefs is fine, and I think you'd even agree with that. Would you agree it's bad to believe that a subset groups of people should be removed from the world? I would hope you agree that that is a bad belief and doesn't need to be accepted.

But it's also missing the point. Being gay isn't a belief, it's just the way someone is - just like race, just like gender. It's not a belief like a political stance is.

They're two different things and it's not hypocritical to treat them differently.
