Polls

I have said many times human rights should not be voted on, but there is an interesting polls that surprised me.

Nearly two-thirds of small business owners don’t think a business owner should be able to deny goods or services to gay Americans on religious grounds.

That’s according to an Internet survey of 500 small business owners conducted for Small Business Majority by Greenberg Quinlan Rosner Research.

Even a majority of Republican and Christian small business owners say religious beliefs don’t justify discrimination against LGBT individuals.

When asked specifically about gay marriage, 55 percent said businesses shouldn’t be allowed to refuse same-sex couples with wedding-related services because of the business owners’ religious beliefs.

This was a surprise but still disappointing that only 55 percent thought they shouldn’t discriminate. Also when you stop and think about it, what these business owners are saying is that money tops bigotry… if your money is green we want to business with you.
