Does this count as your willingness to cuddle with him ? This statement always tickles me, as it seems as whoever is making it is agreeing to anything under the sun. ![]() RE: Texas Judge James R.

I'd think as long as you provided the service it is not discrimination. However I do not know the nuances of limiting free speech just to receive the service. RE: Texas Judge James R.

Whatever trips your trigger ![]() RE: Texas Judge James R. DePiazza Has Bizarre New Wedding Requirement - Nately120 - 07-16-2015 I would want this judge to sign a paper to acknowledge that I think Italians like him are sleazy, shouldn't be trusted, and their immigration to this country was the beginning of the end! Also, he smells like pizza and is probably in the mafia! ACKNOWLEDGE MY VIEWS!!!!! RE: Texas Judge James R.

He is refusing his services to anyone who dares mention same sex marriage. He treats people who mention same sex marriage differently than everyone else, by refusing to marry them. That is discrimination. RE: Texas Judge James R.

If the swim instructor refuses to provide his services to anyone who mentions heterosexual activity then he is discriminating. What exactly do you think the word "discrimination" means? BTW this is a really stupid hypothetical because their is not a long history of heteroasexuals being deprived of their right to swim based on religious beliefs. Here is one alittle more on point. "I will only allow black people into my store as long as they respect my opinion that they are an inferior race. Any black person who claims black people are equal to white people will be denied service." RE: Texas Judge James R.

I've also seen Judges treat folks differently in courtrooms for not following their instructions. Is that Judge discriminating? Hell they make everybody stand up when they walk in. Are they discriminating against folks that prefer to sit? To discriminate you have to treat a group of people differently. He is not doing this, no matter how many times you say he is.

I can't even begin to follow your line of thinking here. RE: Texas Judge James R.

Do you have anything to back this claim except for the fact that you keep saying it? Here is a quote from the Judge: Quote:"I went back in forth with it, and I made the decision that, for my constituents, if that is their desire — it doesn't matter to me what a person's sexual preference is, what their sexual orientation is. Regardless, they're a human being and they deserve dignity and respect. If that's the way that they want to live their life, that's between them, their partner and either they believe in their God or not, that's their choice," DePiazza says. IF he were to only offer a "stripped down" of his ceremony to SSM then you may have a point. If he were to refuse to conduct SSM ceremonies you may have a point. The Judge is actually accommodating SSM; yet the usual suspects keep yelling DISCRIMINATION!! |
