Scientologists can and do simply refuse to have anything to do with anyone who's been declared a "Suppressive Person". And that list grows longer every day.
I have a feeling that at least some of the big supporters of this law weren't so much anti gay as anti black. I have a feeling that there are plenty of racists out there who saw these anti LGBT "religious freedom laws" as a way of weakening the 1964 civil rights act. Contrary to what many anti gay wingnuts seem to believe, there is no meaningful difference between discriminating against someone because they're gay, and discriminating against someone because they're black. The arguments opponents of gay marriage use are just as nonsensical and baseless as the arguments used by people opposing interracial marriage.
I actually had to go and look this up and it's even stupider and pettier than you can imagine.
First, the cat was actually there to help with rats and mice--so it had an actual reason for being there. But then apparently there was a tiff where someone "wasn't allowed to have his puppy" at City Hall, so one of the more vengeful city councilmen--I think there are only 4 altogether--decided "the cat's got to go"... he had no reason, nothing about "allergies"... just "cats have no business in city buildings."
He then apparently sneaked it onto the agenda under a misleading name, and he and another councilman voted to get rid of the kitty, against the one other person voting.
BUT..... the city rose up against him! Everyone loved the kitty! He is apparently a lovely big fat tabby who was super friendly and liked to snooze in the stacks. People were outraged "he's like part of our family!" There was a huge petition... and THE KITTY IS STAYING! And now the councilman will probably lose his bid for re-election.
So it all ended up fine, but man, some guys are just such dipwads.
Wonketters excepted, of course!
"You can put it in the hands of your attorneys, but it'll never stand up in court."
Merci!
I'm pretty sure they call it, "THINK OF THE CHILDREN!"

That's actually a rather pretty song.
I love a good merriment-go-round. 😃
I waggled my wig!
I see a little more young Samuel Jackson.
I think the "report" is a literal fiction. It isn't empirically true. They just made it up for obvious reasons.

I don't have to watch them to know what they're up to. I live in Texas. I'll hear about it before CBN broadcasts what the official party line is.

Would you go for an African American trans in military uniform handing their son a medal as the son's superior officer? Cause I sure would.
I could completely support that!
