some people are trying to characterize the act of a gay person handing money to a vendor in exchange for goods and services as a "war on religion".

is giving people money in exchange for goods and services an act of war, or is it what vendors and store owners wanted to happen when they opened their stores?

is the act of handing over money particularly egregious, or is it more egregious to tell someone that they are not welcome somewhere because of their sexual orientation?

is this really a war on religion, or is it a war on homosexuality being perpetrated by supposedly peaceful, totally non-bigoted christians?

I don't understand the free-market, apparently.
But it also is a religion based on Adam Smith's invisible penis which jingles the pocket change of the market, or something like that.
Or was it an invisible hand which strokes the market penis? $5 Sasquatch Rub'n'Tug what?

You've miscast what the issue is. In order for there to be a voluntary exchange, all parties to the exchange must consent or the exchange becomes involuntary.

Handing a person money in your scenario represents two different possibilities.

If a person wants to interact with you, the act of handing them money consumates a voluntary exchange / agreement.

If the person doesn't want to interact with you handing them money and also setting the terms of the interaction on a uni-lateral and forcible basis is a much different thing. You advocate this method as a good method to use. It's not, as it creates a bias towards one person being able to force an interaction.

Equality doesn't mean forcing others to your way, it means respecting their equal right of self determination.


You dismiss the means used as not being part of an interaction, that is where your ignorance shines thru.

You will not address what I just said and possibly not even understand it. Telling, very telling.
