POLITICAL AFFILIATION IS NOT A PROTECTED CLASS

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 17 points 6 hours ago

It's actually legal to discriminate based on political party so

Get not-fucked idiots.

[–] LoamImprovement@beehaw.org 6 points 5 hours ago

If the bar lets Nazis in, it's a Nazi bar. Good on them for refusing to be a Nazi bar.

Tolerance doesn't exist for groups that are naturally intolerant, it's hilarious that they expect to be treated differently than they've sued and abused the system to be allowed to do to others

[–] zeropublix@lemmy.ml 9 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

It’s called the paradox of tolerance. This graphic explains it pretty well:

Stealing this

[–] Furbag@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

Fuck MAGA cunts. They need to be banned everywhere.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 15 points 7 hours ago

they're right and they should say it. fascists have no place in queer spaces.

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 17 points 9 hours ago

But also, the man that was with me was an African American male. He was wearing a Trump hat.

That person should be kicked out of the bar just for being terminally stupid.

[–] MeaanBeaan@lemmy.world 20 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Your political beliefs are not a protected group. Y'all can go fuck yourselves.

[–] thewitcherstits@lemm.ee 3 points 7 hours ago

lol they got rid of protected groups anyway! They don’t realize we can tell them to get out just as easily as they can tell us.

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 30 points 13 hours ago

Trump has cancelled discrimination laws, get the fuck out of bars and everywhere else

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 31 points 14 hours ago

Getting a lot of miles out of this screenshot.

These are the say people that support doctors and pharmacists for not treating people they don't like. They are the ones that support cake shops from making gay cakes.

They are all very familiar with wanting the ability to discriminate. But they don't expect that they will be on the other side of it.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 34 points 22 hours ago

Man, that's insane, that they speak of discrimination. They're so deep in this victim role that they still don't know how to stand for their political views and eat the fucking consequences.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 175 points 1 day ago (2 children)

We don't tolerate intolerance.

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Correct. Tolerance is a social contract, not a moral absolute.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the correct response.

[–] Nualkris@lemm.ee 83 points 1 day ago

A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

Hensley also attempted to defend herself by saying one of her friends with her at the bar that night was Black: “They probably have every right to kick me out,” she told News 8. “If you don’t want me at your bar, that is what it is. But also, the man that was with me was an African American male. He was wearing a Trump hat.”

Right, I forgot the "B" in LGBTQ stands for "Black." It's a toss-up as to whether these people are actually this fucking stupid or just addicted to attention, but either way words cannot describe the amount of contempt I have for them.

"I can't be a bigot, I have this one black person I'm willing to call a friend!"

[–] Omgpwnies@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

"He's a trump supporter, so he's one of the good ones"

I'd say they took inspiration from President Musk and are just happy owners of their own Meatshield. They just bought the black model, not the child model.

[–] frustrated_phagocytosis@fedia.io 55 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is she saying the blackness cancels out the bigotry? Like if you wanna be publicly abhorrent to a group of people, you need at least one oppressed minority checkmark on the books?

[–] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 22 points 1 day ago

I think she's saying that because he's black he's "untouchable" otherwise it's discrimination. It's the incorrect logic they use when arguing DEI. They think just because someone's black it means they get a free pass to do whatever they want and if someone tries to stop them, they can pull the "race card". (Note I don't agree with this at all, I think this is just the way this person's brain worked based on that quote)

I like how laughter erupts when they said "this is discrimination"

The disconnect is amazing.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 23 hours ago

I would patronize this establishment if I could.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 44 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Did she really pull the "my token black friend" card?

If Idiocracy was prophecy, why not Get Out..?

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 23 hours ago

Idiocracy runs on the assumption smart people would plan and prepare to save the stupid people down the line. Not rule them in cyberfeudalism. I wouldn't call it prophetic personally.

Get Out is a spotlight on existing problems. That have existed for a long time, and will likely continue to exist.

[–] brandon@lemmy.ml 33 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is Chatterbox a gay bar? I've been going there for a couple years and thought it was just a jazz bar with a pride flag in the window.

Regardless, still glad they threw out the fascist.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's a lot of music clubs and restaurants that are "gay bars" that lots of people don't have any idea about unless you start reading schedules and the shit on the walls.

[–] dukeofdummies@lemmy.world 11 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Although it must be a pretty good bar if everyone is having too much fun to read the schedules and shit on the walls.

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago

There's lots of bands and shows just constantly which could be a hint but then you get into the food and I think but that time the bigots are just full blinder mode to justify it to themselves.

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 36 points 1 day ago

Chatterbox sounds like a nice place. If I'm ever in Indy, I'll def. stop by for a beer, and conversation. Oooh, and I just looked they have Jazz music. I hope they continue for another 100 years!!

"Come for the jazz, conversation, drinks, Jamaican patties and oven-baked pizzas, as well as a historical trip into one of the rare holdouts in downtown Indianapolis … a bar that's been welcoming regulars and visitors since 1896."

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 19 points 1 day ago

Oh noooooo. Anyway...

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 9 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

My brain dead ass read "bar", as-in, like.. bar association.

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 19 hours ago

The Gay Lawyers Bar Association, their suits would be the greatest ones in every court room as they defend their clients from bigotry and stupid laws.
