I guess I have to preface this by saying that I am pro same-sex marriage, but I could not be more vehemently opposed to forcing religious Americans to cater and photograph an event that is contrary to their religious beliefs. The Gay Mafia is very real, and in this case, they made a mountain out of a molehill. How many straw men can the liberal media come up? It's truly staggering. Whether it's a fake "Hands Up, Don't Shoot" campaign of lies, the ills of nuclear power (the cleanest of all energy), or a UVA fraternity gang-rape hoax, or a religious freedom law backlash of epic proportions - everything is just a bunch of bullshit.
As you can see from this video, there is a reason gay CEOs are reluctant to come out, and it's because they do not want to have to weigh in on every topic of the day for The Gay Mafia. Since Tim Cook was outed on CNBC, he's now one of the defacto voices of The Gay Mafia. You can read Cook's Op-Ed here on the "pro-discrimination" religious freedom laws sweeping the country. Nevermind that Cook just started opening Apple stores in Saudi Arabia - the same Saudi Arabia that whips gay men in public 450 times in order to cleanse them of their CRIME.
The headline this morning is that a pizzeria in Indiana won't cater gay weddings. As if a gay person would have pizza catered at their wedding. Just grasping at straws (or straw men) since this law literally has so few practical implications. What actually happened is a left wing reporter went into a Christian pizzeria called Memories Pizza and started asking questions. The pizzeria owner said that they do not discriminate, that gays are welcome in their stores. The reporter then asked the owner if they would cater a gay wedding, to which the owner said they would have a religious objection.
GOTCHA. That's how these people think. It's Neo-McCarthyism (to steal from Dazed & Confused).
Pat Haden became a card-carrying member of the Gay Mafia two days ago, as did USC by fiat. While I was happy having Berkeley hang onto that mantle for the Pac-12, it continues to be opposite day for me and has for the last 8 years. I think it's very hypocritical to shirk your responsibilities to the College Football Playoff Committee over laws that already exists in Arizona & Utah. Is Pat Haden going to boycott all work and/or athletic events in those states, or does it only matter when a certain state in particular is in the national spotlight? Maybe Haden could focus on landing a basketball coach like Shaka Smart or Gregg Marshall before another football powerhouse scoops them both up. Is that really too much to ask?
My favorite part about this whole thing is that liberals were for the RFRA before they were against it. 20 states as well as the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT already have this law on the books. Bill Clinton signed the original in 1993 with a unanimous backing of the House of Reps & 97-3 for in the Senate. I can't remember any legislation in history with that much support. Nothing has changed of course, except The Gay Mafia didn't expect to win the same-sex marriage debate so quickly. They never thought that Christians would become the class protected from persecution by these laws, so now these laws must be derided and castoff as vestiges of an unenlightened time, i.e. 20 years ago.
PS - WHY THE FUCK IS ANYONE ASKING MARK EMMERT TO WEIGH IN ON THIS? THE MEDIA SHITS ON HIM YEAR-ROUND, BUT NOW HIS FUCKING OPINION MATTERS?
