"So.... be a whore."

Hardly a whore, be a professional and let the Left/Libs help support conservative causes, live to fight another day. Getting sued and going bankrupt over a website is an option but not a very good one.

And more votes for whoredom.

How about no.

Your souls may be for sale but some of us regard ours as priceless.

I wouldn’t have any problem creating a website for them. But they wouldn’t like it.

Buy a URL such as “fagweddingsRus.com” create a background of two men holding hands and then have it superimposed with a 404 message. Or, even worse, make them register their names on it first. For grins, include a Scripture verse. For even more fun, throw up a link that takes them to the Westboro Baptist Church website.

A court might force you to put up a site but it can’t force you to make it a working site. The owner is out the cost of a URL registration and minimal web design plus hosting but they can have some fun with this.

...the state can force Lorie Smith of studio 303 Creative to design and publish websites...

What happened to Article I Section 8?

To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries;
As a "designer" and "publisher," doesn't she have a Constitutional "exclusive" right to her "writings" of the code for her websites?

Doesn't she have her 1st amendment right to a free press? In 1789, the "press" referred to the machine, the printing press. The right of the people to a free press was the right to publish.

Doesn't her right to a free press allow her to choose what she wishes to publish or not publish?

Two Rapin Bill "judges" versus a Dubya judge.

The original "judge" at the district court level was a Lefty Dubya judge. She's the same one who threw a transgender prisoner into a rape shark tank at a prison, where the tranny got raped in a couple of hours, and ended up in the prison hospital.

Federal "judges" can be real piles of dogsqueezins.

No. When you sell out your principals, you are a whore.

I do not know how much clearer I can make it.

And I am one of those people on the chopping block. It is not theory but reality for me. I will go to jail before I will sell my soul.

You may value yours differently.

“THESE are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands by it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows how to put a proper price upon its goods; and it would be strange indeed if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should not be highly rated.”

-Thomas Paine

For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?

-Jesus Christ

“Seeing how twitter can ban people for legal speech I don’t see how logically they can force this woman to MAKE a website for two faggots.”

Exactly.

Gorsuch didn’t make law up out if thin air. I disagree with how he read the term “sex” but Congress opened that Pandora’s box in passing the civil rights act of 1964 (which should be held unconstitutional on other grounds) in the first place.

The case wasn’t about the constitutionality of Title VII and the employers in Boston’s didn’t raise any religious claims either. It was purely about what “discrimination on the account of sex” meant in the statute, that congress never should have passed in the first place.

Gorsuch has made clear that he thinks there is a religious freedom issue here, and that it needs to be dealt with in future cases.

He joined Alito’s much broader opinion in the Philadelphia adoption cases. His and Alito’s reasoning there would be a slam dunk win for the web designer here.

Wonder if a gay baker was ever forced to make a cake with “I hate fags” written on it. Why is it only homos bothering Christians?

If I was a web designer, could the courts force me to work for clients who wanted me to prepare a pornographic site for them? Could I tell the Klan to take a hike? Could I let Louis Farrakhan know he had to go somewhere else for his website?

Could I force a web designer to make a website that says how awful they are at web designs?

“Take the money and be sure to loudly let them know that you’ll be given a portion of the earnings to your favorite Conservative cause or possibly the National Rifle Association.”

Great idea. What would be the cause of action if they sued?

"We need a concerted effort where gay business owners are contacted and demand is made for a religious painting or cake or whatever. Then sue when they decline."

Can't afford to sue, broadcast over the entire Internet.

Because, well, they just couldn’t find a gay web designer.
