Boylans in Drogheda is one. They print Gay Community News mag. They were undercut by and lost the contract to a northern publisher once, run by a staunch protestant who when he discovered what he was being asked to print refused to do so. Hence, Boylans print it since then.
This printer in Cork have offered to do the invites - for free. Smart move

Really? OMG I never knew that ! :rolleyes:
Well you didn't seem aware of it when you maintained that one of the basic principles of Christianity was not among your understanding of Christianity? I would have thought it was common knowledge, but feel free to ignore that part if you wish.I ignored it because it's irrelevant. How the fx would the general public be aware of the TV? You do have a habit of asking questions that have nothing to do with what was discussed previously. It's fairly transparent though
.
I've already pointed out that a member of the general public, another poster, mentioned that you couldn't miss the tv on display. We'll ignore the fact that the salon owner couldn't have missed it either if that suits your narrative.But anyway not all 'religious' people are bigots and would necessarily refuse such a simple order.
How kind of you to notice that After seeing how he operates though, I would certainly avoid doing any business with the salon owner in question, nothing to do with my religious beliefs, but simply because he's proven himself to be the sort of person I would want no dealings with.Regarding christian fundamentalism - here is a quote from the owner of the printing business
That's fairly fundamental in my book oh and refusing to print an invite as well ...
No flying planes into buildings, beheadings or stonings there. Refusing to print an invite? Fcuk me, the fundamentalist bastards deserve everything they have coming to them, right?
I wonder will the same wasters social justice warriors be mobilised when it really matters, on the day of the marriage equality referendum. They'll probably be too busy at the next rent-a-mob event.There you go again turning the facts backwards again. Maybe the printer guy should thought through refusing an order in the way that he did. You appear to be getting quite emotional about the whole thing. They are grown men and there are places where such disputes can be adjudicated on. I would suggest let them play it out and see what happens. If you don't wish to promote the whole social media thing,I would suggest not engaging in this discussion any further on a public forum otherwise you're only continuing the whole thing and making yourself feel guilty. Probably the best way to save your own conscience and all that.
Maybe you should suggest that to the salon owner, that instead of airing his shìtty laundry in public, he should have conducted himself in a dignified manner and behaved like both a professional business person and a decent human being. Too much to ask of some people though I guess, and yet they expect other people should treat them in a professional manner like a decent human being? Do unto others and all that...
I'm sure you're familiar with that expression.Confessional box tactics - I see ...
Not sure what you mean? Air my shìtty laundry in public?
Nobody wants to witness that sort of thing, rather undignified way to be carrying on wouldn't you agree?0 -

I'm glad you are not writing on paper - there would be none feking left :rolleyes: can you reduce the diatribes please?
I have ALREADY explained that homophobia is a not a "basic principle" of Christianity imo. I have read the bible myself believe it or not and its not there.

As I said not all christians would refuse such an order. Therefore the fracking TV is irelevant get it? Tv + christian does not equal friggin fundamentalist ok?One eyed Jack wrote: »How kind of you to notice that After seeing how he operates though, I would certainly avoid doing any business with the salon owner in question, nothing to do with my religious beliefs, but simply because he's proven himself to be the sort of person I would want no dealings with.
In sure he feels the same about the owner / manager of the printersOne eyed Jack wrote: »No flying planes into buildings, beheadings or stonings there. Refusing to print an invite? Fcuk me, the fundamentalist bastards deserve everything they have coming to them, right?
Ah you're getting your fundamentalist mixed up. But yeah refusing something as simple as an order for a piece of printed paper because of religous belief is fairly fundamental. Btw christians actually first adopted the word 'fundamentalism' for themselves before it was applied to other religions - bet you didn't know that!One eyed Jack wrote: »i wonder will the same wasters social justice warriors be mobilised when it really matters, on the day of the marriage equality referendum.

As I said give your conscience a break and don't encourage those social media justice warriors. Put down the laptop and stop the prosecution complex.One eyed Jack wrote: »Maybe you should suggest that to the salon owner, that instead of airing his shìtty laundry in public, he should have conducted himself in a dignified manner and behaved like both a professional business person and a decent human being.

Your words - your message - don't expect anyone else to do your dirty work.
I don't know if the salon owner is a Christian - maybe while your there you could ask him?0
