Did you know that this ruling would also decide if they are entitled to "heightened protection" above and beyond the right to marry? Funny that the media doesn't seem to have mentioned that, isn't it? And what would that entail?

[G Larry]

Hey Heather!

How warped do you have to be to label defense of traditional marriage as “bigotry”?

If you decide to call a cows tail a leg, I am under no obligation to pretend I now see a 5 legged cow!

[skeeter]

What amazes me is how certain the demented left is of their warped world view.

[Da Coyote]

Sorry, Salon.

CW-II, when it comes, will be entireky due to you libs.

And you will pay.

Heavily.

Heather Digby Parton may be disappointed to learn that most Americans are so bigoted as to eschew sperm in the poop chute.

A decadent culture misconstrues tolerance as the voluntary suspension of rational judgment and the acquiescence to harmful aberrancies.

[JRandomFreeper]

who back right wing candidates like Cruz were likely just as unhappy about this meeting as the gay billionaires’ friends and customers

Nope. It doesn't bother me at all.

Or change the money and time I will give Cruz.

Wishful thinking there, girl.

We are witnessing before us one of the greatest expansions of civil rights legitimizations of perversion in decades, and if the high court decides to be part of the future instead of the past, collapse of society, this advance blunder will codify into law the manufacture from whole cloth the nonsensical basic human right of marriage for gays and lesbians throughout America.

That’s because the bigots who call for “marriage equality” cannot and will not change their stripes - they merely point their bigotry at the next “bigoted” target.

    Ted Cruz Ping!

    If you want on/off this ping list, please let me know.
    Please beware, this is a high-volume ping list!

    CRUZ or LOSE!

Well, of course, bigotry will survive. Alleged bigotry is the reason countless Perpetually Offended Organizations even exist.

POOs are funded through grants, donations and extortion in direct proportion to how much whining, demanding, and outrage they can generate or more accurately appear to generate.

I wonder how the queers would react to a right winger owning a hotel and refusing to allow Hillary a venue.

[mrsmel]

It’s not a far-fetched fantasy that the sodomites want the legal power to suppress Christian pastors from preaching, per the Bible, that sodomy is a sin and an abomination. All the people who derided Christians for saying this, just very recently, were either clueless, or they knew it as well as we did but wanted to keep a lid on the agenda until they had the power to enforce it.

If your straight friends all want to stay single, and your gay friends want to get married....YOU MIGHT BE A LIBERAL......

[C. Edmund Wright]

2 Cruz hit pieces today in Salon....LOVE the smell of liberal fear in the morning.....

[Spruce]

I KNEW just by the title that this was a salon article.

[Svartalfiar]

And even when the Supreme Court hands down a momentous decision acknowledging a basic human right, there’s no guarantee that it won’t continue to be litigated by the social conservatives for a long time to come. Just ask reproductive rights activists.

Aw, how cute. A little snippet at the end to tie in her cause with the abortion group! That's the number one ideal I would want people to associate with my cause!

We are witnessing before us one of the greatest expansions of civil rights in decades . . .

No. We are witnessing before us the greatest contraction of civil rights in American history. The Bill of Rights may be dying and taking with it freedom of association, freedom of speech, and freedom of religion. The thugs who support this pro-gay mafia oppression are shockingly evil, and I hope they back down before things turn very ugly.

Proving what an ungrateful jerk he is, Cruz’s spokesman told The Washington Examiner, ”I would say, knowing what we know now about the setting, I think we would have chosen a different venue.” Despite the blithe tone in that comment, it’s fair to assume that Ted Cruz got an earful from his supporters as well.

Actually, probably not. I didn't mind Ted Cruz reaching out to gay conservatives. As long as Cruz stands up for the Bill of Rights, I'm happy with him seeking the broadest possible support. From what I have seen, the overwhelming majority of Cruz supporters agreed. We're not anti-gay, we're pro-Christian and what we oppose is gay oppression against Christians and against other free Americans.

From the Wall STreet Journal blog:

Justice Scalia said that when states allow same-sex marriages, they are able to include exemptions for ministers who do not want to perform them. He said that would not be the case if it were made a matter of constitutional law.

“How can you allow exemptions?” He said he imagines the result would be that a minister who refuses to perform same-sex marriages would have his state licence revoked.

[Billthedrill]

It does look like anti-conservative bigotry is alive and well over at Salon, doesn't it?

[RKBA Democrat]

Heather! Our cups may runneth over at your innate stupidity, but you know what? That’s OK! Because another $5 bill is going to the Cruz for President campaign! And who says the dolt isn’t mightier than than the sword? Every time you or one of your lib puke friends write a hit piece, I send the campaign a fiver.

Now THAT’S dollars and change we can believe in!
