The law, which has passed the house of representatives, unanimously according to the article, is set to pass in the senate and will become law. Pastors and teachers cannot preach or pontificate on the subject in a public setting.
Wow! What is this world comming to...

You mean, "What is Brazil coming to"? Well, who cares? 'Cept maybe Brazilians. Thankfully we've got the right to offend people here in the U.S.

Not for long if we keep getting more and more "politically correct" :noid

You know, I've got to hand it to the 21st century totalitarians working in the liberal democratic states. They have an amazing strategy, attacking from a totally unexpected direction.
Tyranny and intolerance in the name of tolerance...brilliant!

so far

Well i agree with them on imprisoning people who refuse to hire openly gay people,the criminalization of Homophobia(hate speach) is a violation of free speach..That's if it we were talking about a free society which is not the case here.
-
Only weeks ago, WND reported the president of Brazil said "opposing" homosexuality makes you a sick person, and he believes such thoughts need to be criminalized.
I think the ole Prez may be a little limp wristed. :D
-
I dont agree with imprisonment for a guy who doesnt want to hire someone. I think the gay guy has a right to sit out in front of the owners shop on public ground and tell people the owner didnt hire because he was gay, if that was the reason. But an employer should be able to hire who he wants to without government interference.

let's see for how long... The libs are working hard on it.

that is an outrageous statement?
My business, I can hire whomever I choose and I don't have to explain anything to anyone. At least that's what the Constitution says.
It's the government that can't discriminate, individuals have every right to do so.
All anti-discrimination laws applying to individuals are fundamentally unconstitutional.
I have a right to choose who works for me, no one has the right to work for me.
-
The Constitution affirms inherent rights of us as individuals, it does not grant us any rights. As a result, the government is not allowed to take those rights away or restrict them in any way.
"Congress shall not pass any laws mandating or prohibiting XYZ"
that is an affirmation of our right XYZ
"You have a right to XYZ, unless..."
We just lost this right.

Not that I don't agree with you, but, please show me where constitution says that?
-
Some of you have an unhealthy obsession with gays. It makes me wonder sometimes :uhoh
-

that's the point. The Constitution does not say that I can't, therefore I can. The 1st gives me the right to think what I want.
What gives you a "right" to be my employee?
-
that's the point. The Constitution does not say that I can't, therefore I can.
Unless lawmakers pass the law which says you can't.
-
Such laws should be challenged as unconstitutional

Ahh yes, "The libs", those evil-doers out to destroy America! If only them dirty libs didn't exist, then we'd live in a utopia!

Imprisoning people for choosing who they want to hire in their own business with their own money? Commie.

More like unwitting tools of those who would destroy what America was.
-

You would think. But as an example, consider that laws governing "Hate Crimes" have been on the books for years. You'd think challenging them would be a slam dunk, but .... :huh

This gay guy waslks in to the butcher's shop and asks for a salami.
Oooops, I might go to jail. :devil
(maybe I can spread this one on to many lines?)

As Andrew Dice Clay once said,
"You want your rights, fine, I'll give you your rights. 10% off vaseline, now get the **** back in the closet."
-
sadly.. in this day and age ... queer is in
-
Now that is all quite ..queer.
...And the butcher asked...do you want it in whole or sliced...?

Utopia is a socialist/leftie concept. The righties rely on individualism.
Well, lefties did not invent utopia (not sure whether Sir Thomas More was a leftie), but they embrace it whole heartedly because it involves intentional community (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_community).
"Utopia is a name for an ideal society, taken from the title of a book written in 1516 by Sir Thomas More describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean, possessing a seemingly perfect socio-politico-legal system. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempted to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. "Utopia" is sometimes used pejoratively, in reference to an unrealistic ideal that is impossible to achieve, and has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia.
The word comes from Greek: οὐ, "not", and τόπος, "place", indicating that More was utilizing the concept as allegory and did not consider such an ideal place to be realistically possible. It is worth noting that the homophone Eutopia, derived from the Greek εὖ, "good" or "well", and τόπος, "place", signifies a double meaning that was almost certainly intended. Despite this, most modern usage of the term "Utopia" incorrectly assumes the latter meaning, that of a place of perfection rather than nonexistence."

Lol SOB..I see how you got your name..& now that ive thought about it a bit more,you are right.An employer should be able to hire whomeve he wants without govt interference(leads to quotas etc)..Just as long as they have equal civil rights.
:aok
-
what do the civil rights have to do with employment?
-
EoE
and its not that you dont have the right to hire who you want, its just that you must not base your "want" on race, creed, religion or sexual orientation. The only thing you can deny employment for must be for a lack of physical attractiveness ;)
-
what do the civil rights have to do with employment?
I think you are right..They shouldn't have anything to do with employment.
-
On many, many different projects and jobs down through the years I have hired who I wanted to hire.
I never hired those who I thought would cause a problem on the job. Never needed the hassle.
The Gestapo hasn`t came for me once.

bingo.
Education and experience are merely indicators. They are worthless in themselves.
It is the ability and a fit that matters. I have interviewed others many times. I've never even bothered to read the resume. Waste of time. I don't care that the candidate played football, or that he graduated from ????. What matters to me is what he can do, and whether he can be an asset to a team. And yes, a social fit is important.
A job is not a social service rendered by a company on behalf of a state. For every buck the employee is paid, he has to earn at least four. You can call me on numbers, but in general, after taxes, SS, benefits, insurance and all other overhead it costs an employer four times the salary to hire someone. And he, the employee has to produce at least that. If not, the employer is a suicidal idiot.

Well actually I care. My wife is a Brasilian and that is where we will be retiring in about 5 years. Lula may be limpwristed for all I know but he is uneducated. He has a 4th or 5th grade education and he is using this a tool to garner votes. This is his second term and should be his last...one hopes.

disease spreads. Once a certain percent of people contracts herpes, I expect the government to mandate the rest of us get it in order not to ostracize those who already have it.
Same with nations.
