"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.

POLITICAL AFFILIATION IS NOT A PROTECTED CLASS

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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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.

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

Get not-fucked idiots.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

Fuck MAGA cunts. They need to be banned everywhere.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Your political beliefs are not a protected group. Y'all can go fuck yourselves.

[–] [email protected] 5 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] 42 points 1 day ago

Getting a lot of miles out of this screenshot.

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

We don't tolerate intolerance.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Correct. Tolerance is a social contract, not a moral absolute.

[–] [email protected] 62 points 1 day ago (3 children)

This is the correct response.

A tolerant society must be intolerant of intolerance.

Hensley also attempted to defend herself by saying one of her friends with her at the bar that night was Black: “They probably have every right to kick me out,” she told News 8. “If you don’t want me at your bar, that is what it is. But also, the man that was with me was an African American male. He was wearing a Trump hat.”

Right, I forgot the "B" in LGBTQ stands for "Black." It's a toss-up as to whether these people are actually this fucking stupid or just addicted to attention, but either way words cannot describe the amount of contempt I have for them.

"I can't be a bigot, I have this one black person I'm willing to call a friend!"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 day ago

"He's a trump supporter, so he's one of the good ones"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago

I'd say they took inspiration from President Musk and are just happy owners of their own Meatshield. They just bought the black model, not the child model.

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Is she saying the blackness cancels out the bigotry? Like if you wanna be publicly abhorrent to a group of people, you need at least one oppressed minority checkmark on the books?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 day ago

I think she's saying that because he's black he's "untouchable" otherwise it's discrimination. It's the incorrect logic they use when arguing DEI. They think just because someone's black it means they get a free pass to do whatever they want and if someone tries to stop them, they can pull the "race card". (Note I don't agree with this at all, I think this is just the way this person's brain worked based on that quote)

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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] 79 points 1 day ago

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

The disconnect is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day 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] 50 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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 1 day 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 1 day 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.

I would patronize this establishment if I could.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day 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."

[–] blackstampede 20 points 1 day ago

Oh noooooo. Anyway...
