Guess what? Gay people exist. Lots of them. They have always existed and they will always exist. They’re not goint to go away, no matter how much you hate them. They will only fight you that much harder.

It is about the idea of “gay” marriage I was speaking to. If such things were illegal the entire issue would be null.
 
Is this thread not about a corp firing a man due to pressure from lesbians?

Yes, it is, please tell me how complaining about a homosexuality will help this thread.

It is more than a “complaint”. The person who was fired was fired for reasons to pertain to “gay” marriage.

That is blatantly obvious to everyone here, do you have anything to acheive in saying this?

I am actually reffering to you complaining of homosexuality, not about the company or the employee.

It goes to the source of the dispute. Why should there even be a legal action against a group because they refuse to allow something that should not be legal in the first place.

Would it seem logical to allow a suit against one who refuses to rent to a drug party?

Why do you defend the indefensable? How can you dissect out the central issue of the thread and ignore it?

You’re absolutely right. THat would not be logical because drugs are something that IS illegal. However, in Canada, gay marriage IS legal. Just because you think something SHOULD be illegal does not make it so. That would be like me saying, “I think alcohol should be illegal” and then suing a store because they sell it.

Why would I rather treat people with respect and diginty than constantly complaining and condemning them? That is really obvious.

Yes, I was pointing out the absurdity of the situation, as many others have. That the civil law allows such things does not mean it is correct.

Please do not try to degenerate this into a personal attack. Let us both try to stay on topic.

I don’t know but this story made me ill and I’ll have to turn in my Costco card. I can’t support a company that openly did something like this against a man because he took a stand. It really sounds like they (the lesbians) scouted out every avenue they could take to make this man uncomfortable and I’m proud of him that he took a stand. While reading it, it made me feel like I should help him out with a donation of some kind. Anyway… good for him for standing up for the faith and not being bullied into accepting the homosexual lifestyle and having to change HIS views for someone else.

Good points
 
Has Costco made any formal statement on this? I would like to see it.

Actually it would be like, say, a K of C group refusing the rent out their hall (Private property, mind you!) for a social event that included alcohol.

This is positively absurd! ** Next thing you know, someone is going to sue me for not letting them rent my backyard pool and garden for their function of questionable morality. ** That’s what this amounts to, isn’t it?
 
If I have read one of the positions here correctly, it was stated that Knight didn’t have a right to deny the “couple” the use of the KoC Hall because same-sex marriage is LEGAL in Canada. Did I get that right?

Using the same logic, couldn’t someone rent/lease the facility to perform an abortion assuming the facility could meet all the codes and requirements? And continuing that line of logic, the Knight should not have a right to deny this activiy as well? Well, it’s a LEGAL activity, right???!

I support my brother Knight and the organization for his stand. A KoC hall is not the place to perform or celebrate actions and beliefs that are against the teaching of the Church. And if Costco did fire this gentleman for his choosing to stand on HIGH moral ground they should be ashamed of themselves.

Gay is a lifestyle that wants us to not only tolerate but embrace as moral and normal…

They were. They were called sodomy laws.
 
so, just a question here. But would you deny that same woman the right to rent the hall if she wanted to have a borthday party, lets say? Should lesbians not be allowed to celebrate anything?

So what do you propose in lieu of tolerance?

I don’t think that is what Buffalo meant. It sounds as if you are trying to put words in Buffalo’s mouth.
