Being gay and being a cop are not at all the same. One is a sexual orientation and one is a job. Cops chose their job.
I think you may have misunderstood my post.
A few years ago conservatives got their back up because a bakery refused to serve gay people and reasonable people found that to be wrong.
Conservatives argued that a business has the right to choose who they serve without government interference. And this was held up in court.
Therefore those same people complaining about another bakery not serving the police is the same thing. But now the shoe is on the other foot and they are crying foul.
My post was meant to point out yet another example of hypocrisy from conservatives.
The point they made enhances yours. Yes it is hypocritical, but is arguably worse on the conservatives' part since sexual orientation is something you're born with.
They don't believe you're born with it.
Thanks for explaining - yes I misunderstood and thought you were saying that those who were mad a bakery refused to serve gay people shouldn’t try to ban anyone else from their own stores. Sorry about that and thanks for explaining!
All good. Glad I had the opportunity to explain my position.
Thankyou.
Fowl: bird. Foul: bad.
Though I'll assume auto correct.
Peace!
Thank you for picking that up. I have updated the post.
That just makes the hypocrisy even worse!
Joke incoming: gay community already accepted cops as their kind.
Or is it? Or did they?
