there is one way to reverse the situation
boycott supporters of such laws
(anyone remember Caesar Chavez and the grapes?)
If women (and men) refuse to go to Hobby Lobby - if a few protest demonstrations were held with good media coverage on a regular basis
If in this age STRONG social network protest campaign were waged against anyone wanting to ban LGBT customers
Well, the Supreme Court said money was speech - let your money speak for you and let them hear the protest

Date: 2014-11-17 01:07 pm (UTC)When Christians and their "values" were obviously accepted by the majority then there was no need for "protection"
The irony is screaming for protection when they have denied protection to the very people they now want to be protected from.
Do they plan to put in their shop windows signs saying
"No Service to LGBT"
That actually would be a good move - make people realize the link to "No Jews" and Nazi Germany
We need people to rise up and say NO! Not Here
I think most Americans would.
These people want to play to their base and that is not the majority - even in Oklahoma - although there it might be close.
Texas is just weird!

And the whole "war on Christmas" simply because somebody says Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas. PLEASE...
