"Indianapolis resident Elise Hensley"

Dumb bitch fucking posted it on Facebook. I hope she gets fired for her hateful ways, 'cause wherever she's working supports nazis.

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

POLITICAL AFFILIATION IS NOT A PROTECTED CLASS

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

IDK REEEEEEEEEEEE

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

Get not-fucked idiots.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That, and fascists aren't a legally protected class.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 day ago

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

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

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

paradox of tolerance

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Tolerance is not a moral trait, despite how the right tries to portray it as one. Tolerance is part of the social contract, if one side is intolerant, they've broken the social contract and abdicated any claim for the rules of society to apply to them.

I always saw it as like a ceasefire, They break it then we start shooting. Because to me "I tolerate you" doesn't mean that I like you or have you in good regards. Go tell someone you love "I tolerate you" and I'm pretty sure you are gona have a lengthy conversation.

Stealing this

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 day ago

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

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 day 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.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 days ago

I would patronize this establishment if I could.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

Oh noooooo. Anyway...

[–] [email protected] 83 points 2 days ago

A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

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.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days 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.

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

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days 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.

[–] [email protected] 79 points 2 days ago

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

The disconnect is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 33 points 2 days 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."
