You do not have the right to deny service of your business for whatever you want. Even not counting lgbt weddings, you dont have the right to refuse service for race, sex, or religious background. An easy way to tell if your being racist is replace “lgbt” with “minorities.” For example, instead of “i want to deny gay…

This is the kind of thing you hear from people who then absolutely do their nut in if one of their comments is removed, because they’re so into “freedom.” You think “freedom” means you can do whatever you want, but no one else can.

This argument was made 50 years ago, and your position lost. Sorry.

I repeat, there is absolutely nothing in any of your religious texts that tell you how and to whom you may conduct your private business transactions. You’re not being pious by denying services to LGBT folks (or anyone else you disagree with), you’re being a bigot. That’s it.

This gives me life and hope. This is the kind of Democrats we want in office. Ones who will know when they're being played and fucking fight tooth and nail for what is right.

Reminder: All unconstitutional, anti-14th Amendment bills passed by chuckleheaded reactionaries in the post-Obergefell era are simply a ruse to get movement conservative lawyers some free work before the legislation is demolished in whatever appellate court.

I would wear gingham. Just not from J. Crew. The problem is that their clothes are too boxy and don't fit well. For that kind of money, I expect a few darts in the shirts or some curve to the cuts.

No. All the finance guys in financeland, where I work, wear them in the summer and it’s depressing.

I don’t even think that’s likely to be a problem. But there is also a risk of choking on one.

I’m sure it doesn’t actually kill people that frequently - it’s just a possibility. Your GI tract is more resilient than many give it credit for! I once swallowed broken glass (thanks, Mom!) and survived without any ill effects. I called poison control when it happened and they said to just go to the ER if I had any…

They are not poisonous, but the woody stem and veins can supposedly puncture your intestine if you swallow the leaf. I’m not going to risk it, so I remove the bay leaf from my food before I eat my meal.

If you can't smell your bay leaves, throw them out and buy new/better ones.

I don’t know what it tastes like, but I know what it feels like when a bae leaves.

Yes, I know what it tastes like. Because I’ve tried tasting it on its own.

*Raises hand*

What does a bay leaf smell like? Nothing.

The night was sultry.

I mean being a criminal defense attorney is a pretty thankless job, but a really important one. And I think an attorney should do everything in their power for their client, but that doesn't mean you have to perpetuate rape culture outside of your job. What a creep.

Oh, that one. I really just mentally ignore them at this point, don’t even bother dismissing or flagging. The worst thing you can do to a troll is ignore it.

I was hoping that he really isn’t an attorney, since I have seen many trolls who love to give themselves positions of expertise so they seem like they know it all, but damn is it scary to think someone like that actually deals with sexual assault victims.
