<So if you are a small Ma & Pa bakery you can not refuse to participate in functions that conflict with your religious principals.>
Yes - bakers are not required to attend a gay wedding and cut the cake at the gay reception.  Nor are florists required to attend gay wedding or receptions.  They are simply not allowed to deny homosexuals from buying their cakes and flowers.

<If you are one of the largest financial institutions in the country you can arbitrarily refuse to participate in a Constitutionally protected activity.>
No - financial institutions can't deny service to homosexuals either.  They can certainly deny service to other businesses as is this case.

<Abhorring one and applauding the other would seem to me to require a bit of an explanation.>
Burden of proof is on you.  Obviously denial of service to individuals (and couples) due race, color, creed, gender, age, sexual orientation, religion, etc., etc. etc. is against local, state, and federal laws.  What specific law is Bank of America supposedly breaking?

Abhorring one and applauding the other would seem to me to require a bit of an explanation.

Apr 11, 2018 — Great news, Bank of America has announced that it will stop financing makers of military-style guns sold to consumers! Our voices had an impact!

However, there are still 15 other banks that are still lending to assault weapons manufacturers. Their contact information is here, please let them know what you think!

Letter: A citation is not enough

On March 29, a 26-year-old man threatened to shoot up two Moscow schools.

He was given a citation. A citation - because he wasn't deemed a threat.

So, I'd just like to know when it became acceptable for adult men to threaten children and not have any consequences.

How are our leaders going to protect the children of Latah County? The children of Idaho?

I'm not asking for a gun ban. I'm asking for my child, my 5-year-old daughter, to go to school without having to worry that a man with a gun is going to shoot her.

In Parkland, the police were aware the shooter was a threat and did nothing. Seventeen children died. We are literally watching this happen again. It must be stopped.
