Sleepr2 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 “If you voted for Donald Trump for president, I will no longer be delivering your gas,” says a voicemail message at Turner LP Gas in Skowhegan. “Please find someone else.” The company is owned by Michael Turner, who didn’t immediately respond to a message on Friday. But he could be turning away a lot of business, given that the Republican president-elect won Somerset County with 58 percent of votes. Some cases like this have already garnered national attention after Trump’s win over Democrat Hillary Clinton, including a New Mexico marketing firm that refused to do business with Trump supporters. We don’t know Turner, so we can’t say whether this is a joke. The Maine Human Rights Act only bans discrimination in public accommodations on the basis of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, religion, ancestry or national origin. Some places have added political beliefs to these kinds of protections, with Washington, D.C., shielding “political affiliation” and Seattle adding “political ideology.” So it may not be good public relations, but Turner’s move is legal.

USA Contributing Member $poorsledder$ Posted December 16, 2016 USA Contributing Member Share Posted December 16, 2016 I think a couple phone calls to this business stating, "We will no longer be buying you gas.", might be in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
