Has Ellen Degeneres Opened Doors For Christians?

[Mrs.PGL]

With ending Kim Burrell's appearance on her show because of her disagreement with Kim's opinion of homosexuality, has Ellen opened the doors for denying service to people without Christian reasons - just because we disagree with their beliefs? She stopped a Christian from coming onto her show because Kim Burrell believed what the Lord teaches, so is it now fair to allow bakers, florists, and photographers to turn down homosexual weddings for the same reason?

Ellen is not a public business, it's a TV show run by a private company. The businesses you mentioned are businesses open to serve the public, you cannot discriminate when you're a business open to the public. Simple.

That's the worst piece of illogic I've seen in a long time.

Is Ellen not serving the public? Has her behaviour not endorsed discrimination just because they don't like the person?

Can you not just turn the tv off or change the channel?

 

[Mrs.PGL]

Can you not just turn the tv off or change the channel?

And allow her to discriminate, and promote unfair practices?

 

[Belk]

And allow her to discriminate, and promote unfair practices?

You find the idea of people being able to decide who comes on their television show unfair?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

And allow her to discriminate, and promote unfair practices?

It's her show. Does she not have a say on who is a guest on her show?

Would you let someone into your house after they insulted you?

 

[Mrs.PGL]

You find the idea of people being able to decide who comes on their television show unfair?

No. I find the idea of someone being cancelled from a show because of Christian beliefs disgraceful.

 

[Mrs.PGL]

It's her show. Does she not have a say on who is a guest on her show?

This isn't her house. It is a television programme.
Ellen discriminated.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

No. I find the idea of someone being cancelled from a show because of Christian beliefs disgraceful.

Perhaps it wasn't because of Christian beliefs but because of something specific that was said, or how it was said. Either way, no one has a right to be on a tv show.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

This isn't her house. It is a television programme.
Ellen discriminated.

It's her show with her name on it. If she feels a guest doesn't fit with the general direction of her show, she doesn't have to have them on.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

I've never seen Marilyn Manson on the 700 Club. Why are they allowed to discriminate against him?

 

[Shiloh Raven]

No. I find the idea of someone being cancelled from a show because of Christian beliefs disgraceful.

Ellen Degeneres is not the only person who has cancelled with Kim Burrell after her homophobic rant.

She wasn't canceled because of her Christian beliefs, to imply so is a lie. She was canceled for her smug arrogance and her vulgar language. I could be wrong of course. Are smug arrogance, vulgar language, and lies considered part of the Christian belief system?

Those business were private, not public. No government ownership.

And bakeries, florists, and photographers have their names on their businesses, so, should they be allowed to follow Ellen's lead?

Does that make it right? Should bakers be allowed to cancel cakes for the same reason?

 

[GoldenBoy89]

And bakeries, florists, and photographers have their names on their businesses, so, should they be allowed to follow Ellen's lead?

Yes, if they are faced with a rude, obnoxious guest or customer, they have every right to deny them service.

 

[LinguaIgnota]

And bakeries, florists, and photographers have their names on their businesses, so, should they be allowed to follow Ellen's lead?

Absolutely, bakers, florists, and photographers should not be forced to feature anyone on their tv-shows if they don't want to!
