\"forum_whitewash1\"<\/a>Boy, the sexual activists were angry once sanity prevailed and SB2279 was defeated in the House.\u00a0 Their social media was replete with f-bombs and the like, and the Fargo Forum group was ready to hop into the action with its inflammatory front page attempting to “shame” legislators who did the right thing<\/a>.\u00a0 Well, it didn’t end there.<\/p>\n

Apparently a coffee shop in Fargo decided to have its own tantrum and ban legislators who voted against SB2279.\u00a0 The ironic part is that the same legislators who were banned totally agree with the shop’s right to deny service to whoever they want!\u00a0 That kinda took the wind out of the sails of the movement and proved the point the opponents of SB2279 are trying to make, so the activists had to do a “we were just kidding” backpedal job.\u00a0 The Forum was more than happy to oblige.\u00a0 Too bad for them there’s that Internet.<\/p>\n

\"forum_whitewash2\"<\/a>Here’s the original article from April 3rd at 6:48pm.\u00a0 The link is here<\/a>.\u00a0 If they remove it or rewrite it, the PDF is here<\/a>.\u00a0 Note that while the idea is referred to as absurd, only to make opposition to SB2279 seem similarly so, there is no mention that the ban is a joke or “mockingly declared”.\u00a0 The article claims:<\/p>\n

Effective immediately, if you’re among those who voted against Senate Bill 2279 you’ll be shut out completely from the Red Raven.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Apparently someone realized that this probably wasn’t going to go well, predictably so.\u00a0 After the news story about the ban aired on the Forum’s TV stations, someone probably figured out that this wouldn’t bode well for the cause, and an article published online shortly thereafter by the Forum group paints the stunt in an entirely different light:<\/p>\n

\"forum_whitewash3\"<\/a>Here’s the article from later that evening at 7:31pm.\u00a0 The link is here<\/a>.\u00a0 If they remove it or rewrite it, the PDF is here<\/a>.\u00a0 In it, the ban has now become a ‘ban’, and it is being portrayed as something totally different:<\/p>\n
