    cabs with banners advertising the Gay Games in Cleveland.
    so far it is only muslim cab drivers who drive for companies with contracts to the airport.

    surely there will be an outcry from the gay community. Will these cabbies lose their jobs? or be forced to drive a cab with a banner promoting the Gay Games.

    from link( where have we heard religious reasons for not performing a service before? How's that work out?)

    "The companies, Ace and Yellow Taxi Cab, were told by the drivers that their decision was based on religious reasons"

    Wow. That's quite a dilemma for the PC crowd. Do you crap on the Muslims or the gays?

    If you're going to be consistent, you crap on the Muslims.

    They are hiring replacement drivers, hopefully permanent ones.

    On a side note, looks like Fox has opened up it's comments section? You'd think there'd be a at least a few tens of thousands of comments on this topic but there are none! Makes one wonder..

    To the OP, I'm with sangre on this. [​IMG]

    Then you also think a florist can choose whom they wish to serve?
    Or a bakery can choose to NOT bake a cake for a gay wedding?

    edit to add
    I completely agree with you
    too bad some judges don't

    Come on, we all know if it were white Christian males there would be a picket line around every cab station with MSNBC running attack pieces on both the driver and cab companies every 15 minutes around the clock.

    Wow, I am actually coming to side of the cabbies. Standing by a principle regardless of PC(political crap), and willing to accept consequence - like termination. How novel today.
    Personal responsibility is rare these days when beliefs contradict the populist, or media, norm. More appropriately stated perhaps would be what the media declares for us to be the 'norm'.
