"Can he sue the commission or its individual members to recoup some of what he lost?"

Suing the commission makes the taxpayers of Colorado pay but suing individual members on Federal 1st amendment grounds or malfeasance will $end a clear me$$age.

“Will this set a precedent for all such religious discrimination cases?“

I would think so. The particulars of Kennedy’s eloquent argument, and the fact that it was a 7-2 decision, may make this a very powerful precedent.

In fact, I think this ruling sets a much broader precedent that may apply to a great many cases, namely, that protecting one right (in this case freedom of sexual orientation) does not justify sacrificing another right (in this case freedom of religion).

This strikes at the heart of the Left’s identity politics, which is ultimately a disingenuous attempt to deprive citizens of our right to preferences the Left doesn’t agree with - simply by calling our preferences “hate”.

Next: Hey, Phillips. Will you bake a cake to celebrate the completion of the unsuccessful abortion I just had? Little creep was born alive, but my doctor and I just fixed that.

No. Never made it to court.

I think the Left’s identity politics and political correctness indoctrination have poisoned the language, so that people can no longer speak and act according to their preferences without being falsely accused of hating. As a culture, we need to restore the true meaning to our words, and Kennedy’s SCOTUS opinion was a step toward doing that.

Good question. I’m certainly old enough to remember.

Today, I have to wonder — what is the end game with these SODOMITES? What is their desired outcome?

It certainly isn’t a simple desire to be left alone while they practice their perversions.

My sainted mother always maintained that SODOMITES were always looking to “recruit” young people into their wicked lifestyle.

The aggressive propaganda we see today appears to be part of an effort to brainwash the young, so that they become easy targets for SODOMITE recruitment.

There was article printed last year that the amount of bake or cake shops in the vicinity of the 2 fags was MORE THAN 25. Within 25 miles...

The bake shop was OUT of the 75 mile radius. Add another 50 miles from the original 25 mile search grid and there’s an additional 20 bake shops as per Yelp which even makes wedding cakes.

It simply means they INTENTIONALLY targeted the business..

“Who is old enough to remember when the homo mafia assured us that they just wanted to do their own thing and be left alone and would never, ever engage in this type of search and destroy mission if we only gave in to their “reasonable” demands of a mere decade or so back?”

I remember it well.

I love my wife but she is very pro-LGBTQ. Her and I don’t see eye to eye on very much regarding this issue. But about a year ago, I said to her what you said. She couldn’t come up with a clear answer to my question.

Your saintly mother had it exactly right. Too bad post #33 was removed. It wasn’t nice, but it did explain the end game.

Remember, we’re dealing with an ideology that requires about two neurons to accept as valid and only about double that number to reject.

Clearly, many progressives have more than two neurons. The key is to use more than two.

This entire situation happens when Tolerance isn’t enough to satisfy the behavior of others. Two consenting Adults want to do something I find abhorrent, go at it but don’t ask me to support and encourage it.

Nowadays, only agreement and compliance will be “tolerated” by the Left. To simply disagree is now equated with Hate.

Of course hatred has been turned into a Crime. Hate Crime Laws (thought crime) are clearly Unconstitutional, yet they are on the Books and punishable by Law.

Hate is a motive, but it isn’t a Crime unto itself, or at least that’s how it should be in our Constitutional Republic. Just another piece of our Freedom cast aside.
