The state of Mississippi just recently signed into law that allows businesses to deny service to gay couples. This bill called HB 1523 signed into law by Governor Phil Bryant is being called the religious freedom bill. The bill now signed into law has received major backlash from the entire United States during the almost two weeks that it has been enacted. The Governor has made statements saying that the bill was signed into law to protect religious beliefs and the convictions held by the individuals associated with private businesses and organizations. Many major organizations including the federal government have spoken up about this bill claiming to stop federal funding to not supporting that state by closing stores and businesses within the state. Nothing like this has ever been enacted in this country and the harsh attacks on the Governor and state of Mississippi have not stopped. Many LGBT organizations along with civil rights unions have called the bill discriminatory to the LGBT community in the state of Mississippi. The bill allows private businesses to withhold service from the gay community due to religious beliefs, which is from a moral standpoint wrong because sexual orientation is a part of a person that is instilled into someone and is on the same level as racial discrimination. Governor Phil Bryant and the state of Mississippi has no right to say that people should be allowed to be discriminated towards because of their sexual orientation it goes

This newspaper article discusses how more business such as Walmart and the Apple store are beginning to call on office holders to reject the laws designed to give business the right to deny service based on one’s sexuality. This article gives an opposing view of my stance that businesses should be able to deny service. In addition, it justifies my argument that more people are becoming more excepting off the LGBT community, however only a small portion. The information from this site is accurate and had reliable information to support its research and argument. Furthermore, the article is geared toward all American people as its goal is to provide information of what corporations are doing to stop legislation denying service to the LGBT community. The corporations mentioned in the article have a huge voice and can make a large impact on government, as they hope to one day make a

The state of Mississippi is taking a step back into the past. The new lesbian, gay, bio-sexual, and transgender law is a law that gives business owners the right to refuse service based on religious objections. House bill 1523: it protects a specific group of beliefs that are commonly expressed by religious conservatives. Second, it states that marriage must be limited to one woman and one man. Sexual activity between two persons is restricted to married couples. Gender is defined at birth by anatomy and genetics. Finally, the bill allows religious organizations, and their employees, for-profit companies, and their employees, and state employees to freely refuse goods, and services to anyone if it would conflict with their sincerely held

In the aftermath of Obergefell vs Hodges case, pastors and church members fear a nightmare scenario that will allow government action and lawsuits to force them to perform a same-sex marriage. With same-sex marriage now recognized as a constitutional right, we inevitably expect these future lawsuits that will attack the churches' core fundamental beliefs and First Amendment rights.

In all of the situations I was the bad guy, the attendant was the guy just trying to earn money for a car, college and his prom and the manager was the intermediate and the person making sure that the patrons were happy. In Hazlet most of the people were from the upper class and the manager was a white female in the upper class that led to them looking down on me. While in Matawan the people ranged from the middle to upper class and the manager was from the middle class and most of the people ignored me and didn't care. When I was in Marlboro it was the same situation as Matawan, but some of the people around sent some very negative remarks towards me. While in New and North Brunswick as well as Sayreville most of the employees were from the lower class, where as the Managers were from the upper class, they lived in Rumson, Holmdel and Edison.

Public accommodations include businesses, airports, restaurants, libraries, restrooms, hotels, cinemas, malls, and other places which are readily available to the public. LGBT citizens commonly face discrimination and are turned away from businesses. The National Transgender Discrimination Survey revealed that 65% of trans people had reported discrimination in a place of public accommodation within the last year (Understanding Issues, 2015). Some common occurrences that we have recently seen in the news are wedding cake shops or bakeries denying service to gay couples because they did not support gay marriage. Other businesses state that it is against their religious beliefs to support a gay wedding but they would serve a gay couple if it was non-wedding related. I believe that it's time for people to stop using god when it comes to involving the unequal treatment of another human being. I believe that people should be allowed to practice their own religion, but it should not interfere with the way other people want to live their lives also. Of course, there are so many wedding cake shops that gay or lesbian couples could go to and be gladly accepted, but allowing businesses to discriminate against one characteristic of a person could lead them to finding ways to discriminate against other citizens too. Currently only 17 states and D.C. have laws

On June 26, 2015, the Obergefell v. Hodges case decided that same-sex marriage was legal in all 50 states. In my religion, which is Christianity, homosexuality is a sin. And, in my youth group, it has been one of the many things we have talked about pertaining to the status of the world today. They say that this right, the

"On June the 26, 2015 after many years of debating, gay marriage was made legal according to the US Constitution. This meant that all 50 states must allow gay marriage, and any previous bans were null and void."(Gay Marriage in the US Supreme Court, 2015. par 1) After this bill passed, clergy and business owners were expected to perform certain duties that compromised their religious beliefs. Because of this, the First and Fourteenth Amendment were looked at more closely to determine exactly what rights citizens have.

This is blatant discrimination against people of different sexual orientation. This is only one example of how the government’s refusal to recognize same-sex ( homosexuals ) marriages denies homosexuals rights that are supposedly protected by the state.

On April 4, 2016 Governor Phil Bryant of Mississippi signed House Bill(HB) 1523 known as the “Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination Act” or more popularly known as the Mississippi religious freedom act. The bill is set to take effect July 1, 2016 and is meeting criticism nationwide for its alleged legal discrimination of the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender(LGBT) community. Many are saying that the bill itself is outdated and only further goes to stimulate hatred and discrimination against a non-protected class of people. However, those in favor of the bill continue to proclaim the bill is meant to safe-guard those who do not agree with the recent ruling of the Supreme Court of the United States(SCOTUS) on gay marriage.

President Bill Clinton validated the Defense of Marriage Act into law in 1996 to prevent the federal government from acknowledging same-sex marriages and decree that no state should acknowledge any other state marriage license if it belongs to a same-sex couple. The authors’ state, “On May 17, 2004, nonetheless, in Massachusetts became the inaugural state to proclaim same-sex marriage, as legitimate and enforceable” (Roberts and Starks). California, with the nation largest racially diverse gay and lesbian population has more recently played an eminent role within the contemporary gay marriage dissension (Roberts and Starks). In 2008, with rulings

One of the most important allegations of racial bias in business hiring that has occurred is a Georgetown Place, a senior residential community in Fort Wayne, Indiana. In June 2004, the idea of racial discrimination came to light by the US district court where an action was brought upon the senior residential community for discriminating on race or color. The action refers to two people of color, “Claim Merrill Gardens used either a check mark or ‘z’ to denote a black person’s application” (Lengerich,2005).

Equality has come a long way from where it was before, but the rights of the LGBTQ community are still thrown to the side and not cared for enough. Some people believe the state of Indiana is just making matters worse with the discriminating and victimizing law that goes by the Religious Freedom Restoration Act as stated in the article “City Rallies Around Its Gay Citizens After a Law Sets Off a Flood of Support.” It is allowing those with religious beliefs to discriminate against gays and lesbians because the law ensures the interests of religious freedoms are protected. Although the law caused backlash it also created an opportunity of unity within the State of Indiana and support from others as well as said President of Indy Pride inc. Chris Morehead “But on the back side of it, we saw support from places we never imagined.'' People gathered from all around the state to help show their support to those who were struggling with the new law. The law created mishaps but it showed the world that you can have unification and equality throughout different people with dissimilar beliefs from one another. Furthermore, the accusations of the law being discerning led to House Speaker Brian Bosma to apologize to those who were hurt by stating “We are sorry that misinterpretation hurt so many people” as said in article “Indiana legislators back religion-law amendment” written by Danielle Paquette. Additionally, he spoke about how Indiana is not a place of discrimination and the law

In the summer of 2015 the U.S supreme court ruled in favor to legalize same-sex marriage in all the fifty states .This was a huge change in the world and this difference was made because of popular case which is called the Obergefell v. Hodges (2015). This very important case involved “14 same-sex couples and two men whose same-sex partners are deceased” in this case the couples argued that the “state officials violated [their] 14th amendment by denying them the right to marry or to have marriages lawfully performed in another state given full recognition and also violated their equal protection Clause.” The supreme court ruled in favor for this case because in the 14th Amendment it clearly declares that all people should have “equal protection under the law”, regardless of race, ethnicity, or sexuality.(source 2, pg.1)
