Texas does p. good by gays

I was going to post this in the youtube thread but it's kind of a sore thumb among the lot of HEY WATCH THIS COOL VIDEO LOL



Nice to see some people are still decent folk, and interesting that TX was better about it than NY.

Texas > NY

[tyven]

WAY TO GO TEXAS.

not falling for your trolljob mr kuya!

Clearly, all the bashing Texans get is unmerited, because it is the Texas government that seems to be the one doing the stupid shit, but the Texan people are clearly better than everyone else in America. The video above is good evidence.

Texas is a huge state with several different population centers. Some more liberal than others. But what I took away from Texas when I lived there was a genuine attitude from the people. They were friendly, helpful, and the vast majority of the people I interacted with did not have any of these prejudices that are stirred around in the media. People that do have trouble accepting, for example, gay couples have that trouble because of a lack of understanding and a closed minded approach used as a defense mechanism. Get past that defense and the seed of tolerance can be planted.

Lesson learned here: Don't take political bullshit as the true feelings of the people.

not gonna lie, I teared up when they read that note

char showed this to me on irc and I'd say take what this video shows with a grain of salt.

There's a line in there where they're like "TEXAS IS ONE OF THE FEW STATES WHERE A BUSINESS CAN DENY GAYS SERVICE"

When I guess the law states that businesses can deny service for any reason.

So they twisted it to make it seem more anti-gay.


I've watched that show a few times and they definitely seem to try and do what they can to "rile" people up so ya.

Not to say it ain't awesome to see people defend the couple, 'cause that rocks. But the difference between ny and texas might have been skewed for shock value.

One thing that hurts NY is that fact that it's so big. NY residents are used to ignoring people.

Small town Texas residents, in a small personal diner, not so much.

[hey]

Texas > NY

When it comes to giving a shit about a random person in a restaurant? Yeah, makes sense.

Glad it wasn't just me. baaawww. ; ;

Btw, as someone that lives in NYC.. Ignoring people and minding your own business is not just a motto but a way of life. Remember a couple of months back when that homeless guy was bleeding out and everyone just walked by?

Most of the Big Texas cities are pretty cool, well maybe not Dallas. Its the small towns that fuck things up for us.

They should do this in a Houston cafe to remove the "small town" variable. Then tone down the shock and awe a bit and actually quote the statute they claim gives the restaurant the right to discriminate.

Private businesses can discriminate on any characteristic not specifically disallowed by law. Afaik, only race and disability are national laws. Youd think gender, but nope. See: Augusta National.

Ill tell ya what, today is fucking Friday. If you think that is ground breaking or somehow new, turn it on ABC news tonight because they run a hidden camera show called "What would you do?" and have for a few years. Really? You guys have never once seen that? I've seen folks in Texas rag on Muslims buying baked goods because they walked in wearing a burqua and not a cowboy hat.

Edit: As a matter of fact, here ya go. Ill toss you a bone

The waitress is the actress, of course she's aware of the camera.
