A gay asheville couple says they lost work because of their sexual orientation.
The two snapped souvenir photographs for skiers at Wolf Laurel Ski Resort in Madison County for the past two ski seasons. They say after their wedding announcement ran in a local newspaper, the owners of the resort informed them they no longer wanted to do business with the women. The women say it's a case of discrimination, but according to state and federal law Wolf Laurel was completely within their rights. Even if the two women were employees, there is no state or federal law that protects you from being fired based on your sexual orientation. In this case the women were just contract workers with a verbal agreement.
Asheville is only slightly less liberal than San Francisco.
I don't *think* so.
We do have a lot of liberals but the outlying areas are definitely conservative. I'm going to write Wolf Laurel and tell them I back them 100%.
These two were evidently not "wed" in North Carolina. Wonder why they ran this announcement in the local paper???
My sister and her significant other got 'married' in Canada (for reasons I cannot fathom since it does them no good in this country) and they sent out cutesy announcements and I am sure put an announcement in their local paper.
As much as they protest they are treated badly by the VRW conspiracy, they sure do as much as they can to call attention to themselves.
When Islam covers the world, after people like them allow it to happen by their antiwar, anticonflict,antispying, anti everything that keeps us safe, I wonder if they realize what will happen to women (and men) like them? It isn't pretty to be gay in a moslem society.
Instead of being in each others faces they want to be in our faces.
Be careful where you put those faces.
Another crock, crock and crock.
Let heterosexuals bring artistic value. Homosexuals apparently have the need to make sure the whole world knows of their sexual deviancy and then complain because someone notices. There are still people who believe homosexuality is a sinful, perverted behavior and are not about to promote it and they shouldn't have to.
Umm think again!! I live right outside Asheville and work in Asheville. Rainbows abound.
I told my sons the other day that 50 years ago, homosexuals were looked upon as truly aberrant human beings, close to committing a crime. Then I told them that 50 years from now, if things continue on this same path, there will be no outrage over pedophilia and sex with minors....it will simply be termed an alternative lifestyle, with no real punishment. All of this is not a good thing.
