And I say Yay Amazon for discontinuing those - disgusting Proud Boy tee shirts!

Posted: Oct 1st, 2020 - 3:18 pm In Reply to: It is unbelievable that Amazon could not find anyone better - to select the charities than this bigot

The OP post is rather veiled. I believe they mean they object to Amazon stigmatizing groups that are anti-trans or anti-LGBT, but that's just too bad. That's where religious groups (not paying tax because presumably not political, although come on) don't get to stipulate what private companies wish to include or ban on their site.

So very many religious organizations want their "freedom" to discriminate against gay/trans/etc., but if the private sector wishes to appeal to gay/trans/non-hate groups they then call foul. Turnabout and all that...

I think if religious groups wish to participate in the debate and protest commercial decisions, they should have to pay taxes like the rest of us --- or most of us anyway.
