[Vision2020] Douglas Wilson on businesses policies

So if I owned a restaurant and a homosexual couple
came in, I would not ask them if they were homosexual.
But if they began behaving in such a way as to demand
my explicit or implicit approval of their lifestyle,
which my silence would provide them, would I ask them
to leave? You bet I would. And progressives have so
trashed the word hate that my attempt to maintain a
decent establishment would no doubt be called a form
of hatred. But I would do the same with heterosexual
women with their tops off, heterosexual men with their
trousers off, and any members of Congress.

In his response to Vera, Douglas Wilson wrote:

 Third, Vera says that the welcome mat for gays and
lesbians "isn't out" at several downtown church-run
businesses.  Church-run businesses? Name one. It is
true that members of Christ Church have businesses and
jobs, but I believe this is also true of other
churches. And with regard to lack of welcome, this was
not reported on the basis of any policies, any signs
in any windows, or anything else of the kind. Rather,
this particular breaking story is mentioned on the
basis of how several members of the gay and lesbian
axis said they felt. What is this? Given my
"orientation," if I were to enter a tattoo emporium, I
would hardly expect applause to break out. And it
wouldn't hurt my feelings if it didn't.  This is an
area were some folks need to grow up just a little bit.
