Quote “This ordinance was going to force small-business owners particularly to accommodate people who choose a certain lifestyle,” said the Rev. Jerry Prevo, pastor of the Anchorage Baptist Temple and a leader of the measure’s opponents.

“Once you give special rights to homosexuals,” Mr. Prevo said, “then the next step is you legalize homosexual marriage and so forth.” /quote

And so fourth, yes that’s exactly the plan. I can’t believe these types of people actually still say stuff like this. It’s like they have already abdicated from the union. Sure we don’t have the majority of states on board, but just to have one and then see the opposite side standing so far back from where we should all already be just seems ludicrous. Anti-discrimination legality should be already done across the board. Screw the mayor, screw their county, screw Alaska. They should be following the lead of the rest of the country. Oh those poor Christians and their lousy inability to keep their beliefs systems out of their business ventures. Can you imagine the sign at the door “For Heterosexuals Only”

While I would like to see Alaska someday, I’m holding off because frankly, I’m concerned about Alaskans. They appear to be mentally unstable and academically inferior. Suppose I could make a game counting all the extra thumbs on the inhabitants.

So, if there are no sexual orientation protections in Anchorage, does that mean that straight people can get discriminated against because of their sexual orientation? I guess that’s what that means!

Mayor Sullivan does not believe discrimination actually exists. I recall that was exactly the same view held by those who opposed civil rights protections for racial minorities and ending segregation.

Everyone that reads this should contact Mayor Dan Sullivan (https://www.muni.org/soundoff/pages/default.aspx) and let him know that we will boycott his fair city because of his hateful actions. Everytime something like this happens, we need to call, write or e-mail these people to let them know that we are here, we are not going anywhere, and there are consequences to their actions.

It’s funny. The government told me that I had nothing to worry about with illegal tapping of my phone so long as I wasn’t doing anything illegal.

So perhaps, if the discrimination isn’t happening in the first place, there’s no need to worry about the ramifications of passing it so long as you’re not doing anything discriminatory?

Hmmmm.

Wait, such discrimination doesnn’t really exist? Wow. Alaska must be a bastion of progressive tolerance!

This is just so absurd…I don’t even know what to say about it.

They can vote next week to override the veto.
