Gay Coffee Shop Owner Forcibly Ejects Christian Customers For Their Beliefs
It turns out those who vehemently demand Christians be tolerant of their views and lifestyles, and force Christians to perform services under threat of legal retaliation are — and I can’t believe I’m writing this — intolerant of Christians, and refuse to provide services for them.
In a recently released video from the group Abolish Human Abortion, a pro- life advocacy group, a gay coffee shop owner can be seen berating, insulting, and forcing the removal of the Christian group because of their beliefs.
Caytie Davis and her fellows had been handing out pro-life pamphlets that targeted the homosexual community for the spread of the Gospel. I won’t pretend that the pamphlet’s designs and words were fully geared for opening up discussion with the gay community without agitation first — you can check out the pamphlet for yourself at The Liberator — but the pamphlet’s blunt message aside, the group did not bring it into the coffee shop with them.
Davis and her fellow activists, seeking to relax after handing out pamphlets, went into Seattle’s Bedlam coffee shop. According to Davis, they didn’t engage anyone, or — as previously said — bring any of their literature into the shop with them. They got their coffee, and went upstairs into the lounge area to relax.
Only minutes later, the owner of the coffee shop burst into the room and demanded they leave.
The video shows the Christian group attempting to reason with the coffee shop owner, but to no avail. In fact, it only seemed to make him angrier according to The Liberator, and soon the owner :

Not if you run a public accommodation, such as a place that serves food.
I saw a few of them with coffee cups. So they were served their beverages.
So is that enough or do you have to let them sit at your tables and hang out?

It depends. IF you are a faggot. You get to stay and watch the dude butt fuck his butt buddy.
The guy did says something about doing that.

It should be a fundamental right of any American businesses owner to not cater or sell to anyone for ANY reason... and be able to ask ANYONE for ANY reason to leave property owned by them.
I agree with this filthy cum guzzling sperm burper... he should have the right to kick anyone out of his business. By the same ideology, a cake maker should be able to tell a faggot to fuk off, leave, when they want a faggot cake.

Well, as entertaining as that might be, I was trying to ask nolu about accommodation law.
They were served beverages and went upstairs to relax and hang out, just like any other customers.
So if they were served in a coffee shop, does that constitute compliance with the requirement to serve all without discrimination? Or, if the coffee shop offers seating inside for all other customers, are you discriminating by asking the Christians to leave because you don't like literature they distributed elsewhere in the neighborhood?
Since the accommodation laws are written in terms of forbidding all discrimination, it seems to me that the shop owner did discriminate in telling these people they had to leave while allowing other customers to sit in the coffee shop, use the restrooms, browse books, use Wi-Fi, etc.
I'd like to see these Christians get a lawyer and sue this coffee bitch into the seventh circle of hell.

May a horde of gays demanding service descend on every public accommodation you enter.
Perhaps that will change your love for illegal unconstitutional legislation?

So why is that a problem as long as they are not bothering anyone else?
I bet you had no problem with the bakery being sued out of business because their Christian beliefs caused them to politely refuse to provide for a wedding for reasons that violated their beliefs.

It isn't. I'm speaking of whether they are denying an accommodation to these Christians based on their subjective belief that the Christians had distributed political literature elsewhere that the homo barista found objectionable.

I've supported the Christians in all these RFRA cases. I don't get as lathered up over them as some of you do.
However, that bakery refused service entirely to the homo. In this case, the homo barista did serve them their coffee but refused to allow them to stay and enjoy the premises as he allowed others to do, all based on his objection to their freedom of speech activities elsewhere in the neighborhood. But he did clearly discriminate against them and admitted it was because of their free speech activities that were conducted entirely outside his establishment.
They should find a lawyer or get one of these generally useless Christian legal defense foundations like ACLJ to represent them.
But thanks for the baseless accusation all the same.

Well, it's not like the fag could sit down and hold his wedding there.
Also this was a long term event. They are dozens of places they could have gone to get a wedding cake. it's not like he came in from the street looking for a place to relax.
But i will agree with you that this is a civil matter.
#82. To: hondo68 (#66)
If you own the place, you can pitch out whomever you want, and you don't have to bake them gay wedding cakes or whatever.
I agree you should be able to do that, but the law says otherwise.

I agree. If his business suffers because of his decision, it's on him.
What about a restaurant taken over by Nazi bikers? Being forced to accommodate them results in the owner losing all his other customers. He goes out of business. Will the federal government compensate him?

I remember a number of years ago when I would hang out in such places, I would see signs saying "locals only" for a a select area of the establishment.
It was obvious this was meant for bikers traveling through. They were hardly locals.

Of course. It *should* be. BUT ISN'T (as illustrated by several high-profile cases -- including the CHRISTIAN baker, the CHRISTIAN florist, etal. that went to court and/or were sued out-of-business.)
THIS incident was intended only to underscore the hypocrisy and unequal application of the law in OTHER CASES. And that was the point being scored by the Christian coffee drinkers.
MOREOVER, it also underscored the disgusting degree of hatred, cowardice, contempt and militancy of the typical Homofascist (as well as a pro-atheist judiciary) of and for Christians.

The ranting about sodomy was real special, wasn't it? Maybe the guy should be an elementary school teacher. OR 'SCHOOL CZAR'.
OH WAIT. Remember 0bama's guy? The Liberal-Prog pro-Antifa/BLM/Homofascist Media LOVED him:
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times - Monday, September 28, 2009
ANALYSIS/OPINION:
A teacher was told by a 15-year-old high school sophomore that he was having homosexual sex with an “older man.” At the very least, statutory rape occurred. Fox News reported that the teacher violated a state law requiring that he report the abuse.
That former teacher, Kevin Jennings, is President Obama’s “safe school czar.” It’s getting hard to keep track of all of this president’s problematic appointments.

The laws forbid "all discrimination". Including discriminating against white people or Christians if words still have meaning.
They really should sue, let the Ninth Circus decline and then take it to the USSC.
There is also the broad principle of "equal protection under the laws" in their favor as mentioned at the end of Section 1 of the 14th Amendment.
| All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. |

Well GI -- Dad was right; Only that model for business and philosophy was allowed to flourish during a DIFFERENT ERA of common sense, logic, and respect. (Btw, are you at liberty to tell us generally or specifically the type of business Dad ran?)
Pops likely ran his successful business before the local goob was hijacked by over-officious Commie/homofascist jackasses; OR, before the courts were taken over and judges allowed to harass and abuse their authoritah with political/philosophical axes to grind.
The color of money these days is apparently BROWN. Sh** brown as a result of corrupt pro-homofascist judges whose decisions are purely political or compensated to support pro-queer case decisions.

Why is it the ""equal protection under the laws" always seems ambiguous in cases AGAINST conservative causes, but specific and in support of in cases affecting the radical/homo cause?

I don't think there is one case of a Christian baker refusing general services to homosexuals. It was when they wanted customized cakes for specific same sex ceremonies.
The only comparison I can make is if the Christians in the coffee shop wanted their paper cups emblazoned with specific Christian symbols like a cross or ichthus. Apparently they did not, and only ordered coffee.

Par for the course.
However, many of these states which we see Christians prosecuted are due to unConstitutional local or state laws/ordinances.
So we have the 14th cited in quite a few cases against Christians, yet the 1st Amendment "protects" the free exercise of religion. The Constitution does not protect the free exercise of sodomy promotion, but as we know for homosexuals it is truly a religion. ;)
The liberal view is free exercise of religion stops with an individual's basic civil rights (read 14th Amendment). Some states, take this view as 'gospel' truth and so do the leftist courts.
This is why the Christian baker case before the SCOTUS will be the Roe v. Wade of religious liberty in these United States.
If ruled in favor of the Christian baker, a lot of state and city ordinances will be null and void.

One thing we know: Gorsuch is not timid. Not in arguments before the Court, not in conference, not in deference to Roberts. And he's been voting in lockstep with Clarence Thomas so far.
Of course, Anthony Kennedy is probably sensing a prime opportunity to stab us in the back, no matter what his former clerk is up to.

For the question of the Christian baker it is truly testing the extent of the 1st Amendment. The homosexual plaintiffs do not have much to go with except a very loose interpretation of "equal protections." They can't even cite the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because it specifically states no discrimination of "race, color, religion, or national origin."
Whereas the coffee guzzling Christians do indeed have a case against the barista owner as we see below.
TITLE II--INJUNCTIVE RELIEF AGAINST DISCRIMINATION IN PLACES OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATIONSEC. 201. (a) All persons shall be entitled to the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, and privileges, advantages, and accommodations of any place of public accommodation, as defined in this section, without discrimination or segregation on the ground of race, color, , or national origin.
(b) Each of the following establishments which serves the public is a place of public accommodation within the meaning of this title if its operations affect commerce, or if discrimination or segregation by it is supported by State action:
(1) any inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment which provides lodging to transient guests, other than an establishment located within a building which contains not more than five rooms for rent or hire and which is actually occupied by the proprietor of such establishment as his residence;
(2) any restaurant, cafeteria, lunchroom, lunch counter, soda fountain, or other facility principally engaged in selling food for consumption on the premises, including, but not limited to, any such facility located on the
premises of any retail establishment; or any gasoline station;
(3) any motion picture house, theater, concert hall, sports arena, stadium or other place of exhibition or entertainment; and
(4) any establishment (A)(i) which is physically located within the premises of any establishment otherwise covered by this subsection, or (ii) within the premises of which is physically located any such covered establishment, and (B) which holds itself out as serving patrons of such covered establishment.
Now of course atheists of the New Atheist brand are not slackers and are now using the temple of Satan to mask their intents of gay "rights."
There's also an attempt in Missouri for a self proclaimed Satanist who has a civil case against the State to remove pre abortion mandatory counseling as she said is religious in nature and not accepted by her 'religion' of Satanism.
Satanist sues Missouri over abortion laws
I think she will lose as her premise is human life beginning at conception is a religious view. When in fact life beginning at conception is a biological fact. That she is a science denier won't help unless she gets an all liberal court.
The State's Attorney General should know human life begins at conception as is abundantly clear:

I was going to quote the exact same thing in my earlier post but wasn't sure how the 1964 act has been altered in EOs or subsequent legislation. I think it has sex or gender in there now. I know 0bama was trying to do that via regulatory authority but I don't think he succeeded.
Maybe nolu is up to date on the statutes and regulatory changes.

The Executive branch can impose such but only within the power of the branch. So Obama did extend such rights to the military and fed gov agencies but not impose such on the States. That is my understanding.
The emperor also did so for transgenders but looks like Trump pulled the carpet.

There have been no SCOTUS decisions expanding the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to homosexuals.
There have been attempts in conference committees to bring forth legislation to extend these rights but have all been buried. They will now remain so as long as there is a GOP House and Senate.
This is how the Zer0 admin tried but now being torpedoed by Sessions:
N.Y. / RegionJustice Department Says Rights Law Doesn’t Protect Gays 1789
Attorney General Jeff Sessions boarding a plane on Thursday for a trip to El Salvador, where he will meet with local leaders about fighting gang violence. PABLO MARTINEZ MONSIVAIS / ASSOCIATED PRESS By ALAN FEUER JULY 27, 2017 The Justice Department has filed court papers arguing that a major federal civil rights law does not protect employees from discrimination based on sexual orientation, taking a stand against a decision reached under President Barack Obama.
The department’s move to insert itself into a federal case in New York was an unusual example of top officials in Washington intervening in court in what is an important but essentially private dispute between a worker and his boss over gay rights issues.
“The sole question here is whether, as a matter of law, Title VII reaches sexual orientation discrimination,” the Justice Department said in a friend- of-the-court brief, citing the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which bars discrimination in the workplace based on “race, color, religion, sex or national origin.” “It does not, as has been settled for decades. Any efforts to amend Title VII’s scope should be directed to Congress rather than the courts.”
The department filed its brief on Wednesday, the same day President Trump announced on Twitter that transgender people would be banned from serving in the military, raising concerns among civil rights activists that the Trump administration was trying to undermine lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender rights won under previous administrations.

Back then, there were neighborhood stores and voluntary segregation, so it was rare to see a negro among white shoppers. And vice-versa. You had to go shopping "downtown" to see minorities. At least, that was my experience growing up.
Neighborhood integration and shopping malls came later.
