Funny how the "choice" is always on our side. What? So they don't have a choice not be jerks, close minded and mean with people different from them? Maybe they were born like that and they can't help it, like us :)

Anyway, the sign at the beginning is appalling... I'd never seen something like that. If it said "Gay" or "Black" or "White" they would have a lawsuit in their hands. It's still legal so they still do it.
Reminds me of La vita e bella (Life is beautiful) when the father has to explain his son why "Jews and dogs" are not allowed at a certain restaurant.

Cool video. I was dumbstruck by that sign though. That just blew my mind.

I'm pretty sure there are still plenty of places where "gay" isn't protected.  But yes, TGs are farther down the line for gaining rights.

Lady Amarant i quite agree, and after the video played itself out I cried a bucket of tears.
I know I am to sensitive at times but at least it's my choice if I want to cry.

Thank you for sharing the video, Karen.  Sometimes the truth *does indeed hurt.*  And sometimes I need a shock back into reality.
