The law, which was signed by Republican Gov. Charlie Baker in July and went into effect in October, bars discrimination against transgender people in public accommodations. Among other things, it allows people to use the bathrooms or locker rooms that correspond with their gender identities.

This is why we should never again elect a New England Republican Governor as President.

They are cowards and Democrats in all but name.

I’m sure all mosques are in compliance

> Healey has found that churches are places of public accommodation

But what about the so-called “separation between Church and State?”

[Amendment10]

"A new state law that prohibits discrimination against transgender people in public restrooms is “punishing” the protected religious speech of churches and pastors, a conservative Christian organization claims in a federal lawsuit filed Tuesday."

Simply put, not only have the states never amended the Constitution to prohibit themselves from discriminating on the basis of sex issues outside the scope of voting rights (19th Amendment), or politically correct gender issues, but the states have amended the Constitution to prohibit themselves from abridging rights that they have amended the Constitution to expressly protect, 1st Amendment-protected religious expression in this example.

14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So by pushing the politically correct LGBTQ agenda, low-information Massachusetts state officials are unthinkingly violating the 1st Amendment as applied to the states via the 14th Amendment imo.

And although the 14th Amendment gives Congress the specific power to strengthen the 1st Amendment protections of the churches in this example, I suspect that all that we’re going to hear from the direction of corrupt Congress concerning this issue is crickets.

So remember in November by giving Trump a new Congess to work with.

I have predicted for years that churches would be declared "public accommodations" sooner than later, and here it is.

What, then, is keeping fascists from demanding that churches "marry" two people of the same sex?
