What will the government do next ? order us to run ads for Peta?

A government commission has ordered a man who runs a video duplicator business to do a job for a lesbian activist after he initially refused because, as a Christian, he did not want to help promote homosexuality.

According to a report by Concerned Women for America, Tim Bono of Bomo Film and Video in Arlington, Va., did not want to violate his biblical values by helping promote two pro-homosexual films lesbian activist Lillian Vincenz wanted duplicated.

You're misrepresenting this conflict. Coming from you that's not a surprise. He didn't even know what the films contained. He apparently refused to any work for the woman because she was a lesbian. That's discrimination.

From your link:

"The human rights panel found that Bono did not review the content of the videos, entitled "Gay and Proud" and "Second Largest Minority," and in refusing to take Vincenz's business violated the county's ban on discrimination due to sexual orientation."

Since you are a Bush/Cheney supporter and Rep. I've got an honest question for you since this thread is about lesbians, so I'm staying on topic here.

Taking into consideration the above....what do you think about Cheney and his having an openly lesbian daughter? Do you see this as some failing on his part....or her part as the daughter?

Where in the article did it say he didn't know the content of the film???? It's his business and if he wanted to refuse service to anyone based on anything that's his business in my opinion and is certainly case by case from the courts eye. More importantly what about his right to hold his religious views? Seems to me you are the one trying to spin it another way, not me.

You most certainly don't care what I think. Do you have a comment about businesses having the right to not forsake their religious principals and do business with ,and more importantly , help in the promotion of homosexuals? Or were you just trying to be an antagonist?

Again. From your link: "Bono did not review the content of the videos"... If he didn't review the content, he couldn't have known that they violated his Christian beliefs. So why did he refuse to serve this woman? My guess is because she's a lesbian.

If his business isn't supported by my tax dollars or regulated by the state, I don't care who he does or doesn't serve. In my little corner of the world she'd just have to find another photo business to serve her. But apparently in their corner of the world, voters have set up some sort of Commission where she could complain of discrimination.

Don't you ever get tired of being made a fool of by these people?

So, does this mean you don't want to talk about VP Cheney having a Lesbian daughter? She's out on the talk show circuit pushing her new book, so get ready to hear a lot about her. :lol:

Did you happen to notice the title of the film? Do you think it would possibly be on the case? Knowing she was a lesbian and handing him a video entiled such, do you think any reasonable moron on the planet would know the contents of the film??? All of them but one apparently.

If I had wanted to talk about Dick Cheney's lesbian daughter , I would have entitled the thread as such. I want to talk about a man having the right to refuse service based on his religious convictions. You girls have a hard time with that concept .

How did he know she was a lesbian? Do you think she walked in and introduced herself as a lesbian? What's on the case is not necessarily what's inside the case. And you don't know what was on the case. I get movies from the rental store in the wrong jackets fairly often. As I said, I don't care if he dups her movies or not, but your "pity party" has loopholes in it a mile wide.

You havn't even seen her mullet hair cut and you guessed she was a lesbian. He's standing there looking at her. If you can't tell a lesbian , you certainly wouldn't be very good at visually appraising cattle. My guess is you know a lesbian when you see one.

But I like this thread. I can talk about two things at once, too bad RR can't. It's fun to point out that some of these "call to action" emails going around the country are simply dishonest. My guess is that RR won't ever post another link. :lol:

And my guess is that you would be very surprised when you see some lesbians. I just saw a clip from one of the upcoming Mary Cheney shows. She looks pretty much like the other Cheney daughter, no bad haircut, nice clothes, makeup, well spoken....

I didn't get it in a call to action email ...unlike your links... I heard it on Christian radio. No action required. As for it being dishonest, how is it dishonest? Did the man not get ordered to duplicate a tape against his religious convictions? Of course he did. That is the intent of my post and even you are smart enough to know it. As far as posting links , I just posted another about a Senator from Oklahoma... you're wrong again.

:lol: You were able to access the website on your radio. Wow. I'm going to have to catch up on the new technology.

Your post is dishonest because it suggests the man was called before the Commission because the videos clashed with his Christian beliefs. He didn't look at the content. He didn't know they were lesbian videos. The truth is he refused to give service to this woman because she was a lesbian. Like you, he allowed his prejudice to show: she has a butch haircut, must be a lesbian, probably lesbian videos. This "case" is not about the tapes and his Christian values. It's about his prejudice against lesbians. He looked at this woman, thought she was a lesbian, and refused to serve her. Apparently, in that area, the woman had recourse.

You're a moron Dis. It's not my pity party but rather an encroachment on decent, Christian beliefs that have been protected since the founding of this nation. You and others like you have an agenda to mainstream this queer lifestyle. You are the ones forcing homosexuality down the throats of America. I for one am sick of it. I'm also sick of people like you trying to make people like her come off as victims. It was a set up. You know it was a set up. The arlington commission knew it was a set up and I for one hope they file suit against them to protect his religious convictions. Once again, you're a liar. You know the truth but you try to present the case otherwise. Why don't you go on record saying you would vote for legislation to tear down the right to the freedom of religion.


Va. Locality ‘Investigates’ Christian Who Refused to Reproduce Homosexual Propaganda
[FPN, 4/25/06] - The leader of a Virginia-based pro-family organization says his group may organize a lawsuit against Arlington County, Virginia for violating the religious liberties of Christian business owners there. Family Policy Network (FPN) President Joe Glover says the potential for litigation stems from recent actions by a so-called “human rights” committee that was established by the Arlington Board of Supervisors.

The Arlington County Human Rights Commission recently held a public hearing and subsequently investigated a Christian businessman on behalf of a lesbian activist who claimed he wrongly “discriminated” against her on the basis of her “sexual orientation.” In reality, Tim Bono of Bono Film and Video in Arlington County politely refused to duplicate two pro-homosexual films for long-time lesbian activist Lillian Vincenz. Bono cited his desire to honor Biblical prohibitions against the sin of homosexual behavior. Bono Film & Video informs every potential customer that it does not duplicate material that it may deem obscene, or that may embarrass employees, tarnish its reputation, or that runs counter to the company’s Christian and ethical values. (See the policy here)

Vincenz contacted Arlington County officials to get them to force Bono’s private business to duplicate her materials, despite the fact that Bono objected on the basis of his religious convictions. Arlington Human Rights Commissioners began an investigation into Bono’s actions and held a public hearing on March 9th to discuss the alleged “discrimination”.

Vincenz, a long-time homosexual activist, acted as if she had never before encountered opposition to homosexual behavior when she was interviewed by a local reporter. She told a WUSA Channel 9 reporter, “I’ve never in my life felt that insulted.” (See the story here) That statement was clearly deceptive, since Vincenz was forced out of the military after her superiors learned she was engaging in homosexual conduct. (See 1st paragraph here)

Glover says Vincenz’s tactics are similar to others that promote a so-called “gay agenda”. In a written statement, Glover highlighted the disparity between oft-repeated “gay rights” claims and the true aims of homosexual activism. He said, “For years, homosexual activists have spread the lie that they just want to be left alone to practice their perversions in private. With the help of Arlington County, this lesbian activist proves that they’re really out to publicly use the power of the government to destroy the religious liberties of decent people.”

Various pro-homosexual websites detail several of Vincenz’s other pro-homosexual activities, with some even calling her a “gay pioneer.” According to those sites, she has been promoting homosexual behavior in society and government for over 40 years. Vincenz once told an interviewer that “gay people .. are, in general, so much more courageous, innovative, and open to new ideas than the average straight person.” (See 39th paragraph here)

Glover says, “Arlington County’s involvement in this anti-Christian, pro-homosexual witch-hunt isn’t just a crime against one businessman; it’s a heavy-handed threat to turn the government against Christians who want to live their lives according to Scripture.” He adds, “Even if they can’t win a case like this on the merits, they’re out to strike fear in the hearts of Christians who want to live according to their faith.”

RR: I'm not trying to pick a fight with you. I stated that I was asking you an honest question, you're the one with the chip on your shoulder, not me.

Believe me if I didn't want to hear your opinion I'd not wasted my time asking you! I was asking and was interested in your take on that situation.

I don't think what anyone, including YOU, does in the privacy of their own home is no ones buisness! If Person A acts properly an according to the laws of the land...they should be left alone and allowed to live their lives as they choose.

On the business front I dont' think ANY business should promote or advertise any lifestyle or religion PERIOD. I believe in the separation of church and state in it's truest form. One has nothing to do with the other. When ya mix them up....you get what is tangled up with fundalmentalism...and it's not just in Islam that this occurs. Most of the Christian religions have fundalmental sects and they are a nutty bunch themselves!

Now I played fair and answered you....now your turn.


I didn't warp the thread...the thread was about lesbians and their treatement in society....my question was along that line.

Me thinks there may be some ' supressed' feelings in this crowd. Seems just the mere mention of anything and all things " homo" related sends them into a quiver!!!

Is your(Arkansans) life and things around you so well taken care of that you ( Arkansans) have all this time to worry about who is ' boinking" whom?

Must be nice in Ark these days if you guys have no hunger, no homeless,no spousal abuse cases....lucky you! I'm spending 2 days a wk working for FREE @ the homeless shelter and 2 days @ the " Sharing & Caring" giving out food and clothes to needy families. We don't ask if they are gay or not.....should I start refusing food and clothes to people who " look" gay? I missed that handout .....how do " they" look?

Got a news flash for ya....one of the LEADING MARINE COMMANDERS in Iraq is GAY and a WOMAN!!!! :wink:

Post your own thread and I'll answer. I am not changing my thread from the govt. forcing a Christian business man to promote homosexuality. If you don't like the thread, don't respond. If you are curious about my feelings on the subject only, pm me . BTW it is the homosexual activist in this case that is trying to bring attention to the cause , not me.
