Baptist minister. That's funny. -- nm - David Jul 1, 09:33
I hate to parse words but... I imagine the sign's legal, but can he *enforce* the policy? -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 09:32 10
- Legally, yes -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 09:38 9

  - Didn't Arizona and Indiana and a bunch of other states just have to deal with this B.S.? -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 09:50 4

      - Well shit. So the state of Texas can fire everyone who applies for family benefits for their spouse? Or does the union step in here? -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 10:07 2

        I suppose it would depend on the union contract and what constitutes grounds for dismissal. -- nm - Mop Jul 1, 10:23
  - I think Mop's talking about whether he can in practice. How does he know if a customer is gay? (And does that one time in Asheville count?) -- nm - Roger More Jul 1, 09:40 2
    - I think so, if they're not a protected class. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 09:50
    - gaydar, dude, use your gaydar -- nm - decline Jul 1, 09:47
