Only CBD can explain not knowing the difference between not performing for one person who is admitted predator vs not performing for a specific group. If the Rocketts refused to perform for white people you would have a point.

The world grows so weary of your hypocrisy.
Someone does, that's why i'm making fun of hypocrites like you.
So your head would not be 'sploding were the Rockettes refusing to perform at a gay-led function? Shens. SHENS, I say!Actually it is pretty obvious that they are not a "public business" (technically "place of public accommodation") to anyone that has read the relevant law(s) and understands why they exist.

Either businesses have to treat everyone equally, or they do not. No protected groups. No "it's alright to refuse to serve this guy, he's icky". This attitude is one big reason we have Trump.
Not serving someone because of bad behavior is common in business "No shoes, no shirt, no service". Not serving someone because of being a self admitted sexual predator is different then not serving someone just because of who they are.So your head would not be 'sploding were the Rockettes refusing to perform at a gay-led function?

Sorry, but i've actually been with a large group of women at a "girls night out party" or out with a bunch of guys for any sports night you care to name and have heard far worse from both groups than what Trump said. I bet you listen to music every day that says far worse and yet with the typical pucker face of a whiny liberal you pretend your opponent is worse and you are pure and pristine. Guess what ? No one believes you or really cares as proved by the election.Not serving someone because of bad behavior is common in business "No shoes, no shirt, no service".

My guess if you provided a service where one of the guys grabbed your johnson because he is famous and can, you would refuse service.Sorry, but i've actually been with a large group of women at a "girls night out party" or out with a bunch of guys for any sports night you care to name and have heard far worse from both groups than what Trump said.

Businesses DO have to treat everyone equally, which of course is the whole point of public accommodation laws. Everyone is protected exactly equally by them for their intrinsic attributes and no one is protected from the consequences of their actions.
Every businesss has the right to say that they will not serve someone because of their despicable actions. The Rockettes are well within their rights to show that they find Trump's bad behavior beneath them.
What part is fake?
Are you saying the dancers really want to perform for Trump and the story they have to or be fired is a lie?
Mr. Trump’s inauguration has been a popular opportunity: “In fact, for the coming inauguration, we had more Rockettes request to participate than we have slots available. We eagerly await the inaugural celebrations.”
Honestly this doesn't seem like such a difficult concept.
“For a Rockette to be considered for an event, they must voluntarily sign up and are never told they have to perform at a particular event, including the inaugural,” the statement read. “It is always their choice.”
Despite these assurances, many of the women may feel under pressure to perform. Much of the fear and confusion could be traced to an email sent on Thursday night by the union to some of the dancers.
“If you are full time, you are obligated,” said that message, which was forwarded to The New York Times. “Doing the best performance to reflect an American institution which has been here for over 90 years is your job. I hope this pulls into focus the bottom line on this work.”
Dammit!!! Another case of fake news
No, seems the news was right. Remember, fake news is not just news that you don't like.
Perez Hilton also claims to have a source who told him “the union who represents the Rockettes told the group of girls who contracted to do ALL promo events, that if they don’t perform in the Trump inauguration, they will be sued/and or fired,” a threat not found in the letter obtained by Broadwayworld.com.
Guess that must be true in your case. Hmmmm you're not much different than the other side.No, seems the news was right. Remember, fake news is not just news that you don't like.
I mean sort of? But the headline of the article is actually based on the only piece of uncorroborated information that they had available to them. Granted it's not like what passes for news nowadays has a very high standard as far as the truth or fact-checking, so it's not like they are doing anything unheard of.

But that is EXACTLY the argument of the anti-gay bakers - these people engage in behavior that is offensive to me, and I am therefore not going to do business with them.Not serving someone because of bad behavior is common in business "No shoes, no shirt, no service". Not serving someone because of being a self admitted sexual predator is different then not serving someone just because of who they are.
So as long as the anti-gay bakers call themselves the Culinary Arts Studio, you'd be fine with them refusing to bake their culinary creations for gay weddings? Again, I call shens.Generally speaking you can't force anybody who could plausibly be labeled an artist to preform against their will absent a contractual obligation. The Rockettes themselves aren't a "place of public accommodation" but public venues they preform AT would be.
Yes, but the point is that this is not the sort of behavior one should seek out in a leader. One trusted with the extreme power of the Presidency should first and foremost be of very good character, because much of a President's power is necessarily wielded behind closed doors and often without much of a check. I'm not arguing that Hillary meets that criterion, but Trump misses it even more. (For the record, I voted for the pot farmer, who in my opinion has so much character it's coming out of him in billowing, pungent smoke clouds. So I don't really have a dog in this fight except that the ring is MY country too and the winner represents it and to an extent, runs it.)Sorry, but i've actually been with a large group of women at a "girls night out party" or out with a bunch of guys for any sports night you care to name and have heard far worse from both groups than what Trump said.

But again, this is EXACTLY what the anti-gay bakers believe of homosexuals and is the total reason for their refusal to bake cakes for gay weddings. They believe that homosexuality (or at the least, a homosexual sex act) is a despicable action because it is an offense to G-d and thus offensive to themselves as true believers. They don't even refuse service to homosexuals, only refusing service where that behavior is integral to the occasion. This is exactly analogous to Trump's behavior and the Rockette's belief.Businesses DO have to treat everyone equally, which of course is the whole point of public accommodation laws. Everyone is protected exactly equally by them for their intrinsic attributes and no one is protected from the consequences of their actions.

Everyone needs to be treated equally. Either businesses should be able to discriminate based on past behavior - what someone does, what someone is morally according to their behavior in the proprietor's judgement - or they should not. Personally I believe that the only behavior which should be relevant is that at the moment. If someone is engaging in gay sex while trying to order (or consume) a cake, or Trump is molesting women in the Rockette's office, then fine, deny service. Otherwise, recognize that opinions are like assholes and do your damned job.
