(43,049 posts)the expertise of more experienced flacks, but Ed's not much better in this case. He didn't seem to have significantly better arguments, but shouted anyway.
Idiot's argument hinged on corporations as people, which is legally a trusim, except that their identity as people is limited.
Can corporations get married? Could there be gay corporations, and could they get married? Do corporations have souls?
Businesses cannot refuse service to women, blacks, or any other group known as discriminated against. That homosexuals may not have made it on the "list" in all cases does not mean that they can be discriminated against, although common law doesn't seem to have worked that out everywhere yet. Just for shits and giggles, try refusing service to a gay couple in NYC or SF and see what happens with or without the law.
The Indiana law gave specific permission to discriminate against homosexuals, which is an abomination and has nothing to do with religious belief or observance. It was simply an attempt to legitimize unacceptable behavior.
