You may but lets see what the gay community can dig up if they decide to make an example of you. Who knows.. maybe you are small time and not worth the effort... but you never know.

The US was built on SLAVE LABOR.

I am a christian, I am proud of it.. I dont approve of homos, the removal of prayer from schools and think the government bending everything the US was built on decades ago to suit all these freaks is what is causing this world to go downhill so quick. |

Hey good for you but the problem is you and the likes of you are the one destroying this country and violating civil rights.
If you had your way women would be wearing blck hijabs at the beach and kneeling in prayer all day. Alcohol would be banned and the cruisades of days gone by would resume.
Hey.. save yourself and leave the rest of us alone. If you want a business then you have to deal WITH THE PUBLIC and not just your own creeped out clan.[This message has been edited by 84Bill (edited 11-13-2006).]

On the contrary, this thread is revealing how much further we need to go to escape the dark ages.

Landscaper Under Fire for Refusing to Work for Blacks
By MONICA RHOR, AP
BATON ROUGE (Nov. 10, 1860) - A few short months ago, Cotton Guy was just a mom-and-pop landscaping business that promoted itself as "making Baton Rouge beautiful since 1791" and promised to treat its customers with respect and honesty. Since then, though, the business has been vilified around the United States as a bunch of bigots because its Roman Catholic owners refused to do work for a black couple. Michael Jones and Feya Smith, a black couple requesting bids for a landscaping job at their new house, received a polite - and, well, honest - post from Sabrina Farber, a co-owner of Cotton Guy: "I need to tell you that we cannot meet with you because we choose not to work for colored people."
Stunned, Jones forwarded the post to 200 friends, asking them not to patronize Cotton Guy and urging them to pass the word on to friends and family. "I'm still shocked by the ignorance that exists in today's society," Jones said in his post. And word was indeed passed on - as fast as the post roads could carry it. Within months, the post had been forwarded to thousands of people around the United States, and quickly became the subject of heated and often ugly debates on gatherings. Because of the furor, a professional association of landscapers created a nondiscrimination policy.
A messageboard on the Cotton Guy building, normally reserved for discussions about landscaping and shrubbery, was bombarded with angry comments and venomous attacks from as far away as Pennsylvania. Some people attacked the Farbers' beliefs, threatened the couple and their five children, and said they ought to be lynched. Others condemned blacks as sinners headed toward damnation. Farber, whose company's messageboard has long included quotes from the Old Testament and an address of a fraternity that opposes black people, said she was shocked by the reaction. "It was just our intent to uphold our rights as small business owners to choose our clientele," she said. "All the hate, the threats of lynching my children, the threats of me being murdered, came out because of a very businesslike straightforward post I sent. The crowd of tolerance and diversity is not so tolerant."

Landscaper Under Fire for Refusing to Work for Jews

BERLIN (Nov. 10, 1939) - A few short weeks ago, Garten Mensch was just a mom-and-pop landscaping business that promoted itself as "making Berlin beautiful since 1891" and promised to treat its customers with respect and honesty. Since then, though, the business has been vilified around Europe as a bunch of bigots because its Christian conservative owners refused to do work for a jewish couple. Hans Cohen and Anna Silberstein, a jewish couple requesting bids for a landscaping job at their new house, received a polite - and, well, honest - letter from Sabrina Farber, a co-owner of Garten Mensch: "I need to tell you that we cannot meet with you because we choose not to work for Jews."
Stunned, Cohen forwarded the post to 200 friends, asking them not to patronize Garten Mensch and urging them to pass the word on to friends and family. "I'm still shocked by the ignorance that exists in today's society," Cohen said in his post. And word was indeed passed on - as fast as the Deutsche Reichspost could carry it. Within weeks, the letter had been forwarded to thousands of people around Europe, and quickly became the subject of heated and often ugly debates on parties. Because of the furor, a professional association of landscapers created a nondiscrimination policy.
A periodical distributed by Garten Mensch, normally reserved for discussions about landscaping and shrubbery, was bombarded with angry letters and venomous attacks from as far away as Poland. Some people attacked the Farbers' beliefs, threatened the couple and their five children, and said they ought to be burned. Others condemned Jews as sinners headed toward damnation. Farber, whose company's periodical has long included Biblical quotes and the address of the Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, said she was shocked by the reaction. "It was just our intent to uphold our rights as small business owners to choose our clientele," she said. "All the hate, the threats of burning my children, the threats of me being murdered, came out because of a very businesslike straightforward letter I sent. The crowd of tolerance and diversity is not so tolerant."

Landscaper Under Fire for Refusing to Work for Gays

HOUSTON (Nov. 10) - A few short weeks ago, Garden Guy was just a mom-and-pop landscaping business that promoted itself as "making Houston beautiful since 1991" and promised to treat its customers with respect and honesty. Since then, though, the business has been vilified around the world as a bunch of bigots because its Christian conservative owners refused to do work for a gay couple. Michael Lord and Gary Lackey, a gay couple requesting bids for a landscaping job at their new house, received a polite - and, well, honest - e-mail from Sabrina Farber, a co-owner of Garden Guy: "I need to tell you that we cannot meet with you because we choose not to work for homosexuals."
Stunned, Lackey forwarded the e-mail to 200 friends, asking them not to patronize Garden Guy and urging them to pass the word on to friends and family. "I'm still shocked by the ignorance that exists in today's society," Lackey said in his e-mail. And word was indeed passed on - as fast as the Web could carry it. Within days, the e-mail had been forwarded to thousands of people around the world, and quickly became the subject of heated and often ugly debates on the Internet. Because of the furor, a professional association of landscapers created a nondiscrimination policy.
A forum on the Garden Guy Web site, normally reserved for discussions about landscaping and shrubbery, was bombarded with angry comments and venomous attacks from as far away as Australia. Some people attacked the Farbers' beliefs, threatened the couple and their five children, and said they ought to be sodomized. Others condemned gays as sinners headed toward damnation. Farber, whose company's Web site has long included Biblical quotes and a link to a Web site that opposes gay marriage, said she was shocked by the reaction.
"It was just our intent to uphold our rights as small business owners to choose our clientele," she said. "All the hate, the threats of sodomizing my children, the threats of me being murdered, came out because of a very businesslike straightforward e-mail I sent. The crowd of tolerance and diversity is not so tolerant."
