Yes. And if someone like Sarah Sanders is going to portray herself the way she does, I'm not the least surprised when someone calls her out on it. Which is undoubtedly what the restaurant was doing by refusing service.

Fair enough. Personally I find slinging shit in a culture war to be a very bad idea.

And there you go. You just gave a bakery permission to refuse a gay couple service. Yes, it's exactly the same thing.

I'm just more pro on if someone acts like a ****ty person, they deserve it when it gets thrown back. Not saying iit's right. But she had it coming.

I really don't think it's comparable to that at all. Refusing service to entire groups of people, especially when it is a oppressed minority, contributes to that oppression. Refusing service to some person you think is a twat oppresses nobody. If you ran a business would you want to be forced by law to serve Ted Bundy?

I'm not trying to show hatred. Just expressing my point. I'd understand the controversy if it were someone that didn't deserve it. But she's a ****ing lunatic.

"Having it coming" is no excuse to be a ****ty person in response.

If I owned a restaurant you'd never get service. Just saying.
