I miss freedom, especially the Constitution.
Thanks for posting those stories. The KYT story doesn’t mention Adamson’s name, though, it appears (which was why I didn’t find it with Google), so it is a distortion of the story. It downplays that a person is being affected by this decision.
If he sold homosexual propaganda to normal people, but not to queers, then you would have an argument. The court ordered him to create and sell a product that violates his religious faith. It has nothing to do with who he was or wasn’t selling it to.
Communist countries have Human Rights Commissions. They aren’t interested in humans or rights, just control.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve asked merchants if they were Christian and I’ve gotten strange looks. What the hell is wrong with this country?
I’m not surprised by this... Lexington is a University town, lots of liberals, a great food co-op, farmers market... and happens to have a large GLBT community who go out and spend money...which means they have clout.
We need Christian Rights Commissions.
We need to get back to the facts of the Constitution. We already have freedom of conscience/religion/association. It’s a natural right.
Well, it used to be a natural right. Not any more.
“It has nothing to do with who he was or wasn’t selling it to.”
Well, it does. He was selling printed T shirts, just like the couple selling wedding cakes. The Muslim butcher did not sell pork. Its not the same thing. It would be the same thing if the muslim butcher refused to sell any meat in his store to a non Muslim. I do not, however believe the man should be compelled by government to serve a client he did not wish to serve. THAT is the issue.
If I were ordered to do re-education, I would make it so uncomfortable for everyone, they would all suffer with me. I don’t embrace re-education any more than I embrace homo activity.
