Based on the information that came out about various employees in the restaurant I would think any conservative or Republican would want to avoid the place like a plague anyway.  I'm not saying to boycott a restaurant because there are gay employees but rather given the extreme, unhinged, radical, and aggressive behavior of the liberal left if a known conservative or even someone that was thought to be conservative or Republican happened to dine there no telling what one of those "liberal" employees might do to the food.

For whatever reason, the liberal left has become more and more unhinged in their thinking and their actions and to the point where there is no respectful "agreeing to disagree" and more than not the liberal left sees anyone that disagrees with hem as enemies that warrants destruction and elimination.   This is the stuff of the **** party or "brown shirts" or the like of World War II Germany's fascist party.  

I can't seem to find your 'outrage' over the Republicans who denied service to a Democrat. I wonder if the same 'unhinged, radical, aggressive behavior' applied to them? I wonder why the Conservatives backed that bakery and have such an issue with this restaurant? Do you see the hypocrisy? How can you not? What if a Virginia bakery refused service to the Vice President? Would that be an outrage?

I'm sorry Rabbit but if this happened I'd certainly be against it and condemn it but I just haven't seen it.  I'm sure you will cite the event though.  The Red Hen owner should have that right to make that decision but to me, in today's environment, for a business owner to do such reflects more on them than their beliefs and in doing what they are doing, regardless if it is toward a democrat or a republican, is isolating their business to almost 50% of the potential clientele and that's economically crazy.  

I also have never heard of (although I admit it's possible) Conservatives acting in an unhinged way toward their liberal counterparts as is going on today.  The Democratic party is experiencing yet another seismic political shift to a much more socialist, if not communistic, type party Socialist Wins primary unseats Democratic stalwart. <--- URL Link to another story).  The Democratic party has in great part left its traditional voting base and that base has turned independent, for the most part, but often do vote Republican these days.  Those former Democrats gave Reagan his win in 1980 and gave Trump his win in 2016 along with Hillary being as disastrous a candidate as Jimmy Carter was, but for different reasons.  

Anymore Democrats rely on blindly devoted voters to give the power.  People that vote Democrat ("pull the donkey's tail") every election no matter who's running or what they stand for.   They, the Democratic party, is now looking to illegals to become the new voting block to give them their power because so many minorities and former Union people (Blue Color workers) are looking hard at a party they once supported without question in seeing that party's members take stances that are contrary to their own self-interest and good.  Like it or not the Democratic party is tipping toward the Socialist (and Communistic) directions and maybe that's alright and beneficial for you.  I hope though that centrist and more middle of the road Democrats can survive and take back the party.  I'd love to see a conservative wing of the Democratic party become established at the table of political power but I just don't see it.

One last thing regarding the Red Hen kicking Sander's out.  This is in no way a correlation or similar issue to the cake baker or photographer who refused to do a gay wedding.  In that case, the individuals affected were the ones exhibiting the acts with the service provider disagreed with.  The baker didn't want to participate in a Gay wedding as didn't the photographer. In the case of the Red Hen, it wasn't something Sarah Sanders did but rather who she worked for. It was as if the ower of the restaurant was reaching out to Trump by proxy using Sanders and wasn't due to Sanders herself.  Still, I believe a business owner has that right to chose to serve someone on or not but not based on certain discrimination issues such as race or color and I would put religious beliefs or political beliefs in there as well as other known discrimination issues.  

In the case of the gay weddings participating in an event that you hold strong religious convictions against should be a decision of the individual and government should not order them to compromise their faith by requiring them to serve those who participate in actions that are against their own faith.  Christians should not be allowed to deny service to non-Christians based on their beliefs or lack of them.  But in the case of the Red Hen they did wrong by taking the reservations and then seating them only to ask later, after they started their meal, for them to leave.  That was something that should have happened before the party ever got sat.

 

The owner of a cookie shop turned down the opportunity to serve Vice President Joe Biden in 2012 — and the right embraced him as their small business hero.

Chris McMurray and his wife Kelly had only been in a business a few months when Biden's advance team walked into their Radford bakery, Crumb and Get It, hoping the veep could stop in for some cookies and a photo opportunity while they were campaigning in the area, but McMurray turned down the offer.

He made the decision “because of conviction and principle,” the shop owner told CBS affiliate WDBJ 7 at the time. “I have a difference of opinion of the folks in that campaign, that’s what it was. Also, taking a stance for my faith, my faith in God.”
