States should have rights to make their own laws as long as they are not discriminatory. We really should be able to rely on people to do the right thing, even when government can't.

I don't see how a libertarian justifies signing the petition. Isn't the freedom to do what you want with your own business a core libertarian belief?
I remember Rand Paul went on record saying that he disagrees with the part of the Civil Rights Act that forces businesses to serve black people.

So why did you sign the petition?

Your contradictory actions and beliefs are what interests me. And I'm not attacking you for it. I feel conflicted on this as well. I understand that both sides of the argument have merit. I just want to understand what tipped the scales for you personally in favor of signing the petition.

re: reer

You are being stupid. Not all Christians have to agree on something for it to be part of the Christian agenda, just as not all gays have to agree on something to have a gay agenda. Without religion, there is no reason to hate gays a whole. You sound self loathing. I don't feel like a victim, and the point is I don't want to.

My guess is you are trolling about being guy to gain a weird angle on this issue. There is nothing hypocritical about how I see some Christians on this issue. It is a fact. Yes behavior at pride parades is odd. It is meant to be. Part is tradition. The other part is people act that way and dress that way so they can be the stereotypes others see them as. Kinda like a big eff you.
I see, so now you've gone from "the Christian agenda" to "some christians". Care to keep paring that down? It's unfair to lump together an entire religion based on the actions of a small subset, all the while ignoring plenty of people who don't like gay people for non-religious reasons. Sort of like how we're not supposed to assume all Muslims are terrorists. And, though this may shock you, not all gay people, myself included, walk around with a sense of victimhood and get worked up over the slightest perceived "threat". Sorry if that's a weird angle to you.

re: Fat hurts

There is no disconnect between encouraging a specific action because of the action of the state. The state has the right to do what it wants if it is non discriminatory (the religious freedom act doesn't fit this criteria anyway), but people also have the right to take action if they don't like the decision of their state.
