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

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 58 minutes ago

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

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 2 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.

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

[–] thewitcherstits@lemm.ee 1 points 22 minutes 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 21 points 7 hours ago

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 24 points 7 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 deaconate. But they don't expect that they will be on the other side of it.

[–] Ephera@lemmy.ml 31 points 16 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.

[–] Nualkris@lemm.ee 77 points 19 hours ago

A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

[–] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 163 points 21 hours ago (2 children)

We don't tolerate intolerance.

[–] Kayday@lemmy.world 6 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

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

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 53 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This is the correct response.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 17 points 16 hours ago

I would patronize this establishment if I could.

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!"

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

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 19 hours ago

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 49 points 21 hours 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 17 points 17 hours 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)

[–] Sgt_choke_n_stroke@lemmy.world 69 points 21 hours ago

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

The disconnect is amazing.

[–] brandon@lemmy.ml 33 points 20 hours 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 18 points 18 hours 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 10 points 16 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 6 points 16 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.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 40 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 10 points 17 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.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 18 points 19 hours ago

Oh noooooo. Anyway...

[–] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 33 points 21 hours 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."

[–] TropicalDingdong@lemmy.world 8 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 12 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.
