I thought Coeur d’ Alene was fairly conservative. I think its reasonable not to discriminate.

Unfortunately, the message is hidden in the city council’s agenda....this becomes much more than discrimination once you look under the hood.....

"I think its reasonable not to discriminate."

No question about that. But is it really necessary to create another ordinance or law on top of what is already spelled out in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, and Federal Law?

Sounds to me like another excuse to create a government watch dog group, committee, or just feed the lawyers.

What’s happening here is solving a problem that doesn’t exist in order to promote the homosexual agenda. Boise did the same thing recently.

I think its reasonable not to discriminate.

On a personal level it is very reasonable to not discriminate (for immutable characteristics such as race etc). For one thing it's bad business to eliminate a section of teh market for no good reason.

However, it is abomination for ANYONE to force anyone else to not discriminate (for any reason).

What right do you (or anyone else) have to force me to associate with someone I do not want to associate with? The Constitution guarantees my right of freedom of association. This includes the right to not associate at all. Now social busy bodies are forcing me to associate with people I don't like.

If I own a property and I do not want to rent it to some faggot, or to a one legged mexican flower arranger, or to a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant, or to a Jewish-American princess, or to a black or etc etc etc then I should not have to be forced to rent it to them.

Anti-discrimnination laws are unconstitutional.

My neighbor, who was in jail 5 years for child molesting; is moving next door to you.

Eye, ball.

This is about setting up "gotcha" laws like, e.g., the "Violence Against Women Act" (VAWA) which I put into scare quotes because it's not really about that. It's about putting people in jail you want to send a Big Message to -- "enemy" social groups. In the case of VAWA, the "enemy" is traditional (un-Feminazified) men. In the case of gay-fomenting laws, the "enemy" is heterosexual people who know they're normal and that the other folks ain't, and who say so.

Call it instead a "shut the hell up or else" ordinance, and you'll be a lot closer to letting your eye catch up with the ball.
