The Daily Show - A Million Gays to Deny in the Midwest 

scary ain't it?

very scary

Yep. I literally know the people who own the infamous pizza place that denied gay people service. So glad I moved to away. Pence is a ding dong.

Omar Alor Weird, right?

What kind of pizza did they order that got denied, extra sausage?

Then i guess you will be surprised to know what has happened now.

Loool

roflmfao

Soon to be president when the orange mango is impeached.

@@LegendKiller246 really... and why would the orange man be impeached? or is it just because you still think the orange man is just bad... Good luck with that! Just sayin.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

However, they can still refuse service to LGBT people or evict them from housing. Probably while making a gay employee do it 🙄

@@LisaBeergutHolst This is why America needs The Equality Act into law, to prevent discrimination like this nationwide.

Rosa Luxemburg nailed it with: "Freedom is always the Freedom of those that differ."

It’s their new scare word. 80s communism. 2000s terrorism. 2020s wokeism.

lol

@@peterbathum2775 You get what I'm saying right?

@@thevarietychannelofyoutube4769 yes. They love to have a word to show they hate the very idea of gaining knowledge and have no appreciation or interest in empathy or diversity .

@@peterbathum2775 Yeah, the right wing political pundits basically call literally everything they don't understand and everyone they don't want to bother feeling empathy towards "woke" now. They've gotten very cruel and brutal

Perez 510 I mean it's not a basic human right to be shunned by businesses but ok let's overreact

Some do.

Being able to buy something from a business is not a basic human right.

***** do you not understand the difference between a corporation and a individual? If you were gay and needed a medical supply and every pharmacy in Indiana refused to do business with Gays, would you then have to move? Using a platform to oppress people is as anti American as it gets.

howdydutt1e I agree with you but doesn't a private pharmacy already have the prerogative to serve or not to serve whomever they wish? Are there scenarios where a pharmacy may decide to not serve a person and doesn't that private business already have the right to deny service no matter how arbitrary or obscure that reason may be?

***** Most likely not going to happen. In ideal world and in paper yes, thats how it should go, but when there is two shops, one serving everybody and one what serves no gays etc, the thick headed Christians go supporting the no gays shop and its the everybody serving that is getting the going out of business sign. If majority of town folks are Christians that follow Leviticus 20:1313 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death ; their blood will be on their own heads" And that is theyr reason for hating gays. They would go killing them if laws if they would not get jail sentence. For now they just discriminate against them, as its best they can do... And then people wonder why i think religion is worst thing ever happened to humans....

Hellsong89 I recall believing stories found in other books of fairy tales too. But I was a kid.

Hellsong89 Lets have a look at other things that are banned in Leviticus. leviticusbans.tumblr.com/post/23730370413/76-things-banned-in-leviticus Let he who is without sin cast the first stone...

darkiee69 Cool! Really well done listing! Thing i was wondering is the "offerings to God".. I havent found specifications for that (or i'm too lazy). Like is giving money the church considered offering to "God"?

Hellsong89 I'm not sure. Whenever I do my money offerings I throw the money up in the air. God can take what he wants, and whatever falls down is mine.

He’s coming back. He’ll have a new show on Apple TV+ called “the Problem with Jon Stewart” and it will be airing in September.

Me too bro

He's never been truly replaced. Imagine him during the Trump presidency

I want him back

Well people 😊

Mike Craig Trump Stewart 2020?

I think I ascadent deleted a commitment just whont you know if I did.

Pence is an asshole!

It hurts.

Not for much longer.

29 U.S. states do not have protections in place for discrimination against sexuality or gender identity, and there is no federal statute that establishes that private business cannot fire an employee over their sexuality/gender identity.

Austin Elliott You are disgusting. I'm sure you would like that very much. I'm also sure your "wee-wee" is the same size as your pinky toe. GET A LIFE

Ororo Munroe YES!! Insult me more, I'm a dirty girl. In all seriousness though, I'm not quite sure which side you think I'm on

Lennie Godber Completely separate issue. Most companies have policies against that, but a minority of states do, and there is no federal law on the books.

Lennie Godber Naw son there isn't anything but hopefully one day there will be.

***** Leviticus 20:1313 “‘If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads" Most likely he would be pissed they are not killing gays as he commanded. Anyone else thinking Jesus was just con man who got pissed when his boyfriend dumped him?

Hellsong89 A small-minded super-being with a bad temper. I gotta worship this dude! where can I sign up for this obviously awesome way to spend my 80 years on this planet?

***** Well that would be your local church, but i would not recommend it. Others what comes to mind would be in your local mosque what i would not also recommend, if you want just that super-being part, here i am! As act fast orderer you get little bit that bad temper as gift to your new proline personal God packet! Step right in to my lair! ;) lol

Hellsong89 Dude, I am a Christian, and while i might not agree with homosexuality, as a sinner, I have no right to judge another. There is only One who has the right to judge

Grant Gilcrease ... yeah its you local court system, right?.... Ou you were talking about "God"! Sorry my mistake... evidence for that "God" please?(for notice bible cant prove bible and no emotional responses thank you!)

Worth pondering!

***** It isn't like he wrote the scripture. I'm not Christian, but if he is and doesn't want to persecute the LGBTQ community, is that a bad thing.

***** Dude I'm not a christian, but stop being a freaking idiot. You're being just a stupid as the Christians supporting this law.

***** Exactly! As Christians, we must do EVERYTHING the Bible says, no deviations whatsoever. Divorce? What's that?

Looks like your just as judgmental and prejudice as they are. That or you're just trying hard cuz it's the internet.

***** You'll have a hard time in life being this superficial in your analysis method. And I'm not getting any deeper into this, just trying to help you out. If it doesn't fit you (or at least if you think it doesn't) just toss it. Peace.

+Supdude Took me a few tries but its a CNN anchor shown with a display of a photo with a bunch of people protesting with two signs one reading "Stop enabling hatred" (in bubble text filled with various colors) and "(cant read first line) thy name is pence".

I think he was right about the people of Indiana. He just should have added that he is a notable exception.

that would be horrible.

Of course. He should be elected for World Leader!

Isn't having a tv show host running for office what got us here in the first place

@@turquoisesnowflake4613 are you discriminating against tv show hosts now? They are people too

Richard Pseudonymous There is a gay agenda. It's like feminist agenda. There is a Christian agenda, and many other agenda's. Everyone have their own agenda! What gays want is privilege for their beliefs and views to be held higher than religious beliefs. No one is saying you should be able to deny service to gay people but to reject certain customized messages written on cakes, T-shirts, other stuff that support pro-gay agenda. The same right that allows you to deny KKK cake should allow you to deny gay wedding cake. He makes comparisons as if making gay cake for conservative Christians is same as slow-dancing with Hitler is to jews -well, what if it is the same for them! Aren't they allowed to feel about homosexuality any way they want or actually feel? No one is making Jews slow dance with Hitler but nazi sympathizer can walk in to Jewish bakery and demand swastika as a sign on his cake. It's his right to have that, no law against it. What's the reasoning for the bakery owner to deny this man a legal cake? None, other than his sense of feelings hurt. But this man didn't hurt his feelings, him eating that cake won't hurt him, why should he not make the cake then? The reason is simple, it's custom requested, it's his right to refuse any customer's request he is uncomfortable with when he is asked to make it. Not just on religious grounds, but of any grounds - like, if you support one NFL team but someone want's you to make a cake with logo of rival team you should be able to say no! It sounds silly, it is silly, but the owner should have this right. That's the whole point. Is it good for business to deny gay cakes to people who are now going to be marrying in mass? Probably not just after recession and you don't want to come of as homophob anyway, but if someone wants to do it, his right. Plenty more will be happy to offer that cake. Yes, sadly, even the nazi will probably find someone to make a cake for him too. That's how it is when you have freedom in the country.

***** Why?

@@kekizeki2481 You’re a mouth breathing, knuckle dragger who uses your religion to lie about and oppress others. Then you turn around and claim you’re being oppressed by others because the checkout clerk said, “happy holidays” to you instead of, “merry Christmas.” You are absolutely pathetic.

Please...

He’s coming back. He’ll have a new show on Apple TV+ called “the Problem with Jon Stewart” and it will be airing in September.

Pence would, he would just have to break it off with his gay hooker

Just look up their original logo

Donald Trump has pretty much pissed every minority in the country off except for the gays. Mike Pence has pissed off the gays. The go together like the words bomb and hydrogen, not exactly in that order.

You probably just aren't really watching the show.

Trevor Noah just has no backbone or presence when he’s speaking or even when he’s just sitting there. It’s more like you’re hearing someone recite their teleprompter simply cause they’re getting paid to rather than having anything genuine or intelligent to add to the discussion like Jon did.

i watch the Utube bits, which are supposed to be most attractive

Certainly !

No, being a Christian is a choice, being gay is not. That's much better

Hold on, are you equating Christians to Neo-Nazis?

No, he's doing the opposite

Bombom1300 Jon Stewart showed clips of someone comparing making a cake for a gay wedding to putting a swastika on a cake.

Quay Whitehurst scientifically speaking they both are.

Oh boy that's a long lost case

Let's seriously fucking hope not...

My thoughts exactly.

***** I think that label applies to people like Dan Savage. The man acts like a bully who insults and belittles anyone and everyone who disagrees with him. He\s not a good poster child for the LGBT movement.

@***** WHO SAID: militant gay ?????? buba stop inbreeding Uhmm... militant; > vigorously active and aggressive, especially in support of a cause: engaged in warfare; fighting. LGBT POPULATION ; > vigorously active and aggressive, especially in support of a cause: engaged in warfare; fighting.

Carl Riener huckaby

There are nuts on both sides. Can we agree to that at least?

0hsnappl3s Right to hypocrisy is also cherished right. So, leave people be hypocritical if they so choose.

mike No one is passing judgment on them by not wanting to conform with their ideas, no more than an atheist is if he is refusing to acknowledge Christmas or any other religious holiday. That just doesn't concern him and he has right to be excluded from it. He can deny to sell or to paint any religious figures or make religious messages on cakes or whatever it is his business. In the same way religious people have the right to be excluded from carrying out anything that supports gay agenda or homosexuality in any way. What gays want is privilege for their beliefs and views to be held higher than religious beliefs. No one is saying you should be able to deny service to gay people but to reject certain customized messages written on cakes, T-shirts, other stuff that support pro-gay agenda. The same right that allows you to deny KKK cake should allow you to deny gay wedding cake. He makes comparisons as if making gay cake for conservative Christians is same as slow-dancing with Hitler is to jews -well, what if it is the same for them! Aren't they allowed to feel about homosexuality any way they want or actually feel? No one is making Jews slow dance with Hitler but nazi sympathizer can walk in to Jewish bakery and demand swastika as a sign on his cake. It's his right to have that, no law against it.

Yes, sadly, even the nazi will probably find someone to make a cake for him too. That's how it is when you have freedom in the country.

Keki Zeki the cake thing makes sense, but that's just one example. As someone who works in a restaurant I firmly believe in the right to deny service for just about anything, but simply being gay is not one. For example if you go to a bakery and ask for a gay wedding cake with two grooms, I can see that. Especially if the person in question is making a scene. On the other hand, if a reasonable, albeit flamboyant, openly gay person asked for a birthday cake with a race car or something "normal" and was denied due to their appearance/sexuality, i'd have to say that's not okay. Also yes, some gays want special privilege in the same way that some "feminists" want privilege, just disguised as equality, but there are real gripes out there. A lot of them actually

mike Yeah well, the issue is not an obvious gay person asking for non-gay cake but they keep representing it as it were. It's not about the cake, it's about the message :) It shouldn't even be an issue: you can reject gay cakes but also expect some people to avoid your bakery, so it's very damaging in the long run if you do that. Bigger issue is if gays can be fired for being gays, because that's really sensitive issue, on the one hand everyone have a right to work an not be discriminated against, but imagine gay employe whose boss says he must reject making gay cakes? Of-course, things get awkward when the employer realises he hired a gay guy LOL

But that is exactly the issue. Just like you can't refuse service based on race alone, you shouldn't be able to do it with regards to sexuality. That is exactly the argument. In many ways asking a conservative wedding cake company to make a gay wedding cake is like asking mcdonalds to make a whopper. They just don't do it, that's their image. I still think that's messed up but you're right, that's the downside of democracy, people can choose, even if its the wrong decision. With regards to employment, it's not just about companies who's image directly opposes the gay lifestyle. Businesses can fire/refuse to hire sole based on sexuality even if sexuality isn't central to a company's image the way it is with our theoretical bakery. If the company is publicly opposed to the gay lifestyle, then gay people would naturally avoid employment there, however, even if they did they should have another reason for terminating their employment other then their sexuality (for example their refusal to comply to company policy i.e. refusing to refuse making a gay wedding cake)

Brandon Rodriguez six months from now, he’s going to be unemployed

Couldn't agree more

+javalin597 If only that were true. We can be fired from our jobs and denied public office, and god knows what other shit I'm too depressed to look up right now. bc there's nothing scarier than a person whose decency hinges upon the human desire to be good and just without needing mortal fear to do so.

+javalin597 Oh shut up. Stop being so condescending.

+Aveline De Grandpré Is the truth condescending?

Cat Party True that, I stand corrected

I don't know what I am. I think that most of the disputes we have in this country are about competing rights. The question becomes whose right trumps a competing right. In this case, and in my humble opinion, the right of the baker not to be forced to violate his religious beliefs trumps the right of the gay guy to get a cake. There are other bakers and there is internet. The gay guy has the option of going elsewhere. The baker does not have the option of changing his faith. But that's in this case. To me it's a case by case analysis for the most part. Or should be anyway.

AtheistRex TRIPLE KILL!!!!!!!!1

so lets see some of the discriminations , I guess agenst people who oppose them, they did not have the power to deny people a cake now the homosexual community they were driven to suicide by christians, then were continued to be taunted, they were basically torcured to make them "normal" by the pray the gay away places it is obvious YOU are the ones being discriminated against

I don't think the baker did anything wrong. You don't want the customer? That's your choice as a business owner. And the rest of the country should not get up in arms about it either. It's silly, and does not concern them. Now, if this were an issue that were prevalent enough to where it was difficult to acquire something as simple as cake, that'd be another matter. What bothers me is the vilification of both sides. It doesn't help when they both do terrible things. They basically only prove each other right. I just go about my business treating everyone as equals, because I believe that's the way to screw over the fewest amount of people. And honestly, it's so much less stressful.

Bel-Shamharoth By the way, I did not mean to say the public overstepped their bounds by denouncing the baker. They were within their rights too. It's the forcing people to do things they don't want to do part that's the problem. Even if it's for the sake of "progress", you are not really helping anything.

OverThinking I don't recall Trump directly saying anything bad about the gay community but the fact he chose this homophobic bigot as his VP probably says a lot.

Silvia's Reviews Trump's policies and past actions point to a disregard of gay rights. But yeah, mike pence is a fucking snake.

***** Shut up fucking pervert.

***** Explain how being sexually aroused by deformed animal characters is not being a pervert.

***** So the fact that it exists proves is not perverted? I guess child molesters are not perverts because child porn exists.

***** Agree, so do furries.

***** Don't argue here, as much as I hate it, it's not gonna help you. Some people just won't listen to reason and you're talking to one of them.

Have you tried to watch Trevor's stand up special? The guy shouldn't be allowed to be anywhere near a mic

+XephreWolf I was pleasantly surprised to see he even knew the term

+XephreWolf If not for heterophilia (which, for some reason you call homophobia), you wouldn't exist to write shit like that. Do you even know what it takes to support a population?

ZanoZik Implying that "heterophilia" and homophobia mutually exclude each-other. Seriously though, I never once said that I hated heterosexuals. You act like I'm morally required to have children just because I exist. Does that mean I'm a complete waste of a human being if I catch an STD? Strawman argument aside, this particular issue is nothing more than a clash between Christian morality and secular morality. Christians are being infringed in the sense that they must provide a service that is against their religion and LGBT folk are being infringed by the fact that not providing a service to a specific group of people is a human rights violation. Look, if you want to refuse service to someone based on their orientation then go right ahead; I'll just take my business elsewhere.

XephreWolf Seriously, start thinking before you write. _Does that mean I'm a complete waste of a human being if I catch an STD?_ *THIS* You see what you did there? No? Let me break it down for you: Of course you do not become human waste if you catch STD (though that _could_ mean you acted socially irresponsible and selfish), you will have to be "tagged" and get a mandatory treatment. Get it? *You have no rights running around spreading that STD, advocating it, advertising it, claiming that it's your right by constitution*. Get it? And last but not least - _not providing a service to a specific group of people is a human rights violation_ made me laugh so hard. How absolutely braindead are you? I cannot believe you just spitted that bullshit!
