    Goddammit, you’re supposed to send furries to the pet groomers. Trans people go to Aamco… For a trans mission.

    Ain’t no way this random salon owner can duly comply with the rightful decision from that board and still keep their business going. May the ‘Finding Out’ ring loud and true, for once.

          Plenty of bigots will flock to them. They’ll probably end up with more business than before.

              Bigots tip other bigots. They also give them a ton of business.

              Remember when Chik-fil-A got caught giving money to organizations trying to have all gay people in Africa killed? Conservatives did a huge nationwide “Buycott” and gave them more money than they lost in the boycott.

                Bigots tip other bigots.

                If you’re cutting hair, you’re not in the club.

                  I’ve never heard more openly-racism and homophobia than the guys talking at one of my hometown barbershops.

    In before SCOTUS rules that the founding fathers definitely meant to let hairstylists refuse service to people and send them to pet groomers

        No, because they would likely abuse the sheep.

        That will lead to you getting jailed for discrimination immediately, with all your close relatives being smeared too.

    Huh. I used to use the laundromat a few doors down. There are some great places in traverse City that we can go to anyway. We’ve got a good trans/LGBT in general Community there. And we give each other business recommendations. Granted, I never got a haircut there but I’m trying to get more hair.
