SIGNS: Burst bigotry's balloon

I thought Wednesday’s editorial calling on business owners who want to use their religious beliefs as an excuse to discriminate against a few people who don’t adhere to their religious guidelines, was right on. But, actually, they don’t want the public to know that they are bigots who are justifying their discrimination as a religious right.

They don’t want to put up a sign telling all of the public that they are bigots because they know that about 50 percent of their customers would not come back. Instead they want to punch a few people, secretly.

It’s no different than the bully at school. He never walks around with a sign saying, “I’m a bully!” And, he never goes home and brags to his mom how he beat up that little guy and stuffed him in a locker.

The legislator in Arizona got it right. She said businesses need to put up a sign that says, “No stupid, discriminating legislators are allowed!”
