Just as long as they don't move to Arizona and want to get married.

Just so they don't expect to patronize businesses that discriminate in Arizona.

"(CNN) -- Arizona's Legislature has passed a controversial bill that would allow business owners, as long as they assert their religious beliefs, to deny service to gay and lesbian customers.

The bill, which the state House of Representatives passed by a 33-27 vote Thursday, now goes to Gov. Jan Brewer, a Republican and onetime small business owner who vetoed similar legislation last year but has expressed the right of business owners to deny service."

Arizona and Florida, what's up with all the hate?

Giving the benefit of the doubt that this isn't trolling...

... I guess God doesn't have a problem with lesbians so why should lesbianism be illegal?

The Bible also says (Leviticus 25:44-46 ESV):

(44) As for your male and female slaves whom you may have: you may buy male and female slaves from among the nations that are around you. (45) You may also buy from among the strangers who sojourn with you and their clans that are with you, who have been born in your land, and they may be your property. (46) You may bequeath them to your sons after you to inherit as a possession forever. You may make slaves of them, but over your brothers the people of Israel you shall not rule, one over another ruthlessly.

...so let's bring back slavery!

Some of us do have fringes!

Ugandan tabloid prints list of alleged homosexuals

The 'Red Pepper' has printed the names of some 200 Ugandan citizens, who are alleged to be homosexual, the day after Uganda's president signed an anti-gay law.

The Red Pepper tabloid published the names — and some pictures — of alleged homosexuals in a front-page story under the headline: "EXPOSED!"

Few Ugandans identify themselves publicly as gay, and the tabloid's publication of alleged homosexuals recalled a similar list published in 2011 by a now-defunct tabloid that called for the execution of gays. A Ugandan judge later condemned the outing of homosexuals in a country where gays face severe discrimination, saying it amounted to an invasion of privacy. A prominent Ugandan gay activist, David Kato, was killed after that list came out, and activists said at the time that they believed he was targeted because of his work promoting gay rights in Uganda.

Well, no more of these:

Here's a bronze age take on family values:

(Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment.

That looks like a regular do-not-compete agreement.....
