If you have not seen the “We serve Everyone” stickers around the web, then you’re missing out, The stickers opposing the bill that was passes yesterday called  the “Religious Freedom Bill” will show at stores that support everyone and will not discriminate based on age, gender, color, or sexual orientation.

Indianapolis entrepreneur Josh Driver came up with the idea, and he says it’s about doing what’s right.

“I just don’t like the idea of a group of people being able to get something another group can’t,” he says. “And I just feel like that is a conflict just in principle of what our economy’s about.”

“We are a non-partisan, non-judgemental [sic] group looking to provide a grassroots network for people to support businesses that open their doors for everyone – Black, White, Gay, Straight, Christian, Athiest (sic)… well, you get our drift.”

Businesses that purchase a sticker for $10 will also be listed in a database on the Open for Service website.

Driver says people can use it as a resource to find businesses that support equality.

But religious freedom advocates say the bill is about protecting religious liberty— not supporting discrimination….Depending on your point of view, either protects religious business owners from being forced to violate their religious beliefs, or provides a carte blanche for bigoted business owners to discriminate against minority customers – in particular, LGBTQ customers.

In fact, several religious business owners throughout the country have found themselves fine, sued or otherwise called to account for their refusal to serve gay customers, on religious grounds. For example, a Oregon baker refused to bake a cake for a same-sex couple’s wedding and is now facing $150,000 in fines, according to a few report. So to them its all about protecting them from lawsuits and being fine for their belifs which could backfire if they own a hospital and refuse service to a same-sex couple in emergencies.

As this rather contentious legal and societal problem plays out in the courts, the state legislatures, and on the floors of the businesses involved is the reason why  Josh Driver  had started the Open for Service project.

More than 40 businesses have already signed up to display ‘Open for Service’ stickers, which indicate they don’t support discrimination. Silvermyst Inc. is one of those supporters and will be showing our sticker proudly to ensure we don’t cherry pick because of who you love.
