And, yes, this post is in response to the bullshit legislation coming out of Arizona, which would allow business owners to deny service to those they suspect to be homosexual.

Every business in America should be mandated to have gay porn on its premises.
For those of you who don’t read Maynard, here’s what I think it says:
I have an idea for a pop-up store in Arizona. It’s an apparel store for men – straight, Christian men. We’d just sell your standard run-of-the-mill stuff. The thing that would set us apart would be our promise to sell to only confirmed non-homosexuals…
When customers approach the counter, to make their purchase, we’d strap them to a blood flow monitor, to measure for engorgement, and then show them increasingly graphic gay porn.
“Not even the semi-rigid will be served.”
“Because Gay People Shouldn’t Wear Clothes” would be a great tag line for the business.
Why is it that we only talk about the rights of the gays and not the rights of the homophobes? Don’t I have a god-given right to hate?
The engorgement, I suspect, would be directly proportional to the level of homophobia expressed.
Is that a 5% boner? I don’t think a 5% boner should count as gay. There needs to be a margin of error. A warm breeze could give you 5% engorgement, for chrissake. The bar needs to be set at 15% turgidity.
As Michigan Radio points out, we’re not much better here in Michigan than they are in Arizona.

If I were the shop owner, I would start with this image:

I’m hoping that it does get passed into law, if only because there’s a chance that we might see Steven Seagal: Lawman running into an Arizona restaurant to assist a terrified store owner who has been set upon by an army of gay men attempting to order pizzas.

Jan Brewer apparently hates Christians. She just vetoed the bill.

It isn’t new that people use the Bible to excuse bigotry. They used the Bible to defend racism too.

Interesting and likely influential.
Related, I have noticed that “Christian” might now being used as a code word for “white” if the ads for “Christian Singles” are any indication.
I’ve never been satisfied with the terms “homophobe” and “homophobia”, as they imply fear, when dislike or hate (of the action, if not the actor) would usually be closer to the case. I think “homomisic” and “homomisia” are better terms here.
I think it’s fear of contamination. These people are so insecure in their sexuality that they worry that proximity to homosexuality will bring out tendencies in them and members if their families. There’s no other explanation. Jesus never said a damned thing about homosexuality.
Well, the veto cost Jan Brewer her political career. She just announced that she will not run for reelection.
