“Homofascism” – the use of homosexuality to bludgeon and batter the religious rights of Christians and others appalled at the behavior choice.
“... then sue when they refuse to provide the service.”
There was a YouTube video going around recently in which a guy went to various homo owned bakeries and requested such a cake. Most refused. Nothing came from it. While it may miff homos to provide such a cake, it would not violate any religious convictions. I believe the Christian objection is of much greater consequence. Christians have a solidarity with God. This prevents the State from assuming that all powerful role, which is what I believe they want: complete dependency of the people. Homos demanding normalization or equality are actually only useful idiots for the New World Order. Christianity is the only thing standing in the way.
We’re not hearing from Obama guard Fx News about the following clause (emphasized) in Section 1 of the 14th Amendment. (Corrections welcome.)
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.
Fx News is evidently “overlooking" that pro-gay activist states are wrongly using PC gay “rights” which the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect to trump constitutionally enumerated protections, 1st Amendment protected religious expression in these bakery cases. This is a blatant violation of Section 1 imo.
Sadly, low-information Christian business owners evidently don’t know Section 1 of the 14th Amendment well enought to protect themselves from the hate crime that they are getting from low-information, pro-gay activist state officials.
Notice that the ACLU is NOT on the side of the Bill of Rights. They are on the side of the gay couple seeking to violate the 1st Amendment rights of the bakers.....
Maybe the Christian bakers could just sub-contract some orders to a Muslim baker.
Roberts gave us Obamacare and Kennedy gave us tyranny in the guise of “marriage equality”.
Both justices were appointed by Republican presidents.
Apologists for the GOP tell us in this forum and other places that ‘elections have consequences’ to convince us there’s some difference between the two major parties.
Don’t see much in the actions of these GOP appointed judges.
It has never been a perfect world though. My preference would be to stick it back to the bullies. I can beat them on my terms. Right now their terms are a stacked deck against me.
Perhaps it is time for all Christian business owners who provide wedding services and products to start including something a little extra in every item they sell: a scripture quote, prominently displayed, custom chosen by the Christian proprietor and/or his or her staff. For instance, all wedding cakes would have a scripture quote written around the outside of the largest layer - and for homosexual weddings, perhaps that quote would be a selection from Leviticus? I expect that having scripture pointedly admonishing their behavior publicly, would serve to make those items (cakes, bouquets, pictures, etc) significantly less desirable to the would-be customers. Nobody wants a mirror held up to their darker sides.
The point is that Robert’s dissented from Kennedy’s majority opinion and predicted that there would be a rash of state and federal litigation, as the LGBT community launched an all out legal assault against Christian institutions and businesses to force them to accept and even embrace that lifestyle, despite their religious faith. Kennedy said in his opinion that he hoped that would not happen and that everyone would sit down together and sing kum-ba-ya in light of the SCOTUS ruling, but Roberts was right (this time).
I hear you but notice the bad guys got to win both times with Republican appointed justices “switching sides” to help the bad guys.
That happens on issues from time to time like tax increases in my state, national debt hikes down in Washington.
This is an excellent argument is a bar REQUIRED to sell a drink to someone who is intoxicated?????
Won’t be long before you can not refuse s gay person’s advances even if you are straight .
It’s America...going under.
