That’s exactly what it is.

Christine Quiin the Lesbian City Council Pres. will do her best to try and protect this store from all of this. But if Marty Markowitz the Brooklyn Boro President gets enough complaints about this, he will do something as he's not afraid to tell City Hall to go to Hell. Should be interesting.

Why would a gay male care about maternity store discounts? Unlike the lesbian, he can never utilize it.

Would it be okay for a diner to offer a 10% discount to senior citizens?

“Price discrimination or price differentiation exists when sales of identical goods or services are transacted at different prices from the same provider.
Many gender-based price differences are held to be illegal but still occur often in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.”

“what’s Boing Boing?”

A male physical response needed to normally produce maternity customers.

[trumandogz]

This is no more price discrimination than a Denny’s offering senior discounts or offering a child’s menu.

Unless a homosexual male couple adopts!

All I had to read was the heading of the article at the top of the page. BARF!

Their reasons are silly and full of ignorance; but it’s a private business and they can do what they want.

The problem we have is there will be very little mass outcry over this. But, if a store like this had said it was only giving discounts to “married couples” (that’s one man and one woman we’re talking about), then most of the Libs and most of the media would be all over the story AND outraged over it.

More outraged than we are over this real story, because as a private business they can offer discounts to whomever they want. I may not like or agree with their choice, but it is their store. We just think it should be “O.K.” to everybody, in other directions as well.

As Conservatives we celebrate freedom more than political correctness, and just wish everyone else did as well.
