We're having Town Hall meetings to celebrate pride month featuring coming out stories. But them again we're a Fortune 500 company so it pretty much expected.
Our inclusion policy has language that prohibits making fun of someone because of how the talk, dress, et. We're woke AF. |

Quoted: Yeah, second one of these I’ve got for my gun shop this week, maybe I should tell them that we’re so happy with buttbangers and slit lickers that our 4473 even has a non binary choice.

Don't care as long as they have money to spend. I own a business, not a support center.

I saw a commercial where discover now has a card for LGBTQWTFBBQ people.
Mastercard announced on Monday, June 17, its True Name card initiative, which will allow for chosen names to appear on the front of consumers' cards. Many members in the LGBTQ community, particularly trans and non-binary people, have run into issues purchasing items with a credit card and been faced with discrimination. In fact, Mastercard shared research that found nearly one-third of individuals who have shown IDs with a name or gender that did not match their presentation reported negative experiences, including being harassed, denied services and/or attacked. Mastercard did some research into its network's rules to understand if there were requirements for individuals to include their legal names on their cards and found that there weren't. This spurred the True Name card initiative. "It first starts with their name, that's who they are, that's their identity," Randall Tucker, chief inclusion officer for Mastercard, tells CNBC Make It. With Mastercard True Name "you can choose your name on your credit card, your debit card and your prepaid card, which is amazing." Mastercard is hoping this initiative will spark conversation within the industry and is urging other businesses to apply these standards, so financial products can reflect their owners' true identity. "We're paying it forward, not because it's in vogue, but because it's who we are as an organization," Tucker says. Mastercard plans to have True Name cards on the market by early 2020. |

Quoted: Dude its a scam, do you know who Harriet Jones is? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harriet_Jones View Quote Ha, I didn’t need to look anything up to know it was either a scam or future strong arm tactic. The worse part (or better) is that woke companies will throw money at them to show how accepting of a very minimal minority they are. Cant virtue signal with out capital output evidently. |

I would treat a trans person like any other person and wouldn’t have a problem hiring a trans person, but I guess that don’t mean shit without the sticker.

What would be the downside and upside to becoming a “Trans friendly” business? I could see an upside because I’m sure there are trans people that genuinely mean well and just want to go to businesses that won’t treat them any different than anyone else. Unfortunately, I’d imagine the downsides outweigh the upsides. Most likely another organization looking to exploit LGBT people to push their politics. Hey this business declined? Let’s all march down there and protest these bigots! btw give me more moneys lol

A good old fashioned shakedown from the alphabet people. Imagine that.

For Emoto’s question..
No, if you look at the newest 4473, there are now 3 choices regarding sex. Male, female, or non binary. |

I don’t think a mental illness disqualifies you from owning a firearm, otherwise everyone with depression would be a felon. There had to either be a court ruling you as mentally defective or you spent time in an institution. |

My personal thought is I’ve never even noticed skin color, sexual orientation or race.
It seems that every perceived minority regardless of how silly now want and expect special treatment for something that not too long ago wasn’t even worth mentioning. Sinistral people unite, let us throw off the shackles of our oppressors! |

View Quote Sorry, the point I was trying to make was I thought that a gun store was supposed to exercise some amount of judgement on who they sell a gun to. And not being doctors or mental health professionals, they have no way to diagnose the extent or dangerousness of individuals showing signs of mental illness. This would cause them to block sales to such individuals, would it not? |

A gun shop full of trannys? Sounds like some of the incels in GD just got a new option for picking up dates!

View Quote Quite frankly I wouldn’t care if gun stores were full of trans if they were conservative. Commies have no place in gun stores. I don’t care what race, religion, or sexual orientation you are. Commie? You’re dead to me and I wouldnt want your business. Ultimately gun stores unknowingly sell more to commies and fudds than dudes that take it in the rear. |

My business is GCM (green cash money) friendly. I don’t care who you are, how you dress or what your preferred personal pronouns are, as long as the credit card goes through.

It's 2021.
Shit like this has absolutely nothing to do with benefiting those who donate, and everything to to with targeting those who don't. |

I'm a business owner and I'm a firm believer in Capitalism.
I'll take your money if you are white, black, brown, red, fat, skinny, straight, gay, trans, bi, pan, pee on a ballon, Democrat (Price goes up / Especially if you have a picture of FBO) or Rebulican, or even dead. Money is money. |

I don’t care if your an alien from zotar. If you are paying me for a service you will receive that service.
Of course this doesn’t apply to communists. |

I work in south Mississippi. During June, every facility we have in the area is flying a rainbow flag, so I’d say yes, along with a lbgtq whatever has a company sponsored employee network. Never thought I’d see that in Mississippi.

This is fucking insane. We’re talking a fraction of a percent of the population.
The Leftist ground game is fucking amazing, I’ll give them that. No wonder we’re losing. |

I'm just another cog in the machine, and don't own a business. If I did, I wouldn't give two shits about who I sold my product to. That said, the businesses that pimp this stuff during pride month are doing so for purely marketing reasons. They couldn't care less about those people, but have done the analysis and determined that they can make more money pandering to them.

There is a broken Eaton/Fuller 10-speed in pieces on the floor of the shop, so ‘maybe’?

<-- FFL
If you can pass the BGC, don't come in stinking of weed or alcohol, and don't act stupidly in the shop then I will sell to you. Money is money and it all spends. |

Nope. I wouldn't hire someone with a mental illness like that.
