This thread is decidedly less sporting without Medusa around
I'm a live and let live kind of guy. Just don't ask me to pay for it or swear an oath of allegiance to your cause so I can continue living and doing business.
Last year my business was asked to donate to the local Pride Parade. I handed the representative our standard donation form to fill out. The form asks details about the organization, a description of the event, their EIN number for their non-profit, and amount of cash or product donation requested, and how our business would be advertised to get a value out of the donation. It is also noted plainly that lack of an EIN or non-profit does not necessarily disqualify them from a donation, nor would a lack of advertising of our business disqualify a donation. The representative took the form, said thank you, and said she would bring it back the next day. The next day I awoke to several thinly veiled FB messenger threats to our business page angry that we were somehow being discriminatory because we asked them to fill out a form. All of the complainers were not local to our small town. I decided that I would not respond, lest my response get twisted somehow into an untruth. Luckily nothing ever came of it publicly. They never returned the form. The person who picked up the form wasn't one of the complainers, and she still frequents our business. I like to think that the local organizers had a shred of common sense and came to our defense. It is amazing these days how close you can come to being publicly destroyed over some trivial matter.
My daughter, who is 20, has several friends that are part of the LGBT cause. They say that the infighting among the "team" is every bit as bad as the discrimination they sometimes face. As a gun guy, I say welcome to my world.
