Whatever rights the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission is safeguarding, the right to engage in commerce doesn’t seem to be among them — not if you’re a believing Christian, anyway.
In a shocking decision, a commission examiner made a recommended ruling last Monday that a Christian businessman violated a local ordinance against sexual-orientation discrimination by refusing to print T-shirts with a pro-homosexual message. As Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported, “The examiner concluded that Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals broke the law in 2012 by declining to print shirts promoting the Lexington Pride Festival. The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization subsequently filed a complaint.”
The examiner, Greg Munson, also demands that Hands On Originals go in for “diversity training” — conducted by the Lexington-Fayette Urban County Human Rights Commission (LFUCHRC) itself — within the next 12 months.

these diversity commissions are nothing more than political obedience officers.
They should be disbanded and at minimum defanged.
About as meaningless as a BBB action.
I think the Thirteenth Amendment, which prohibits slavery and involuntary servitude, protects Starnes.
So this IS an important case.
I hope the “bullying” tactics so often used by our “public servants” are slapped down by the Supreme Court.
If not, what’s next?
Will drug stores be forced to sell cocaine, just because some addicts DEMAND it?
Will the merchants, whose stores were looted in Fergeson, MO., be forced to re-build and re-stock, just because folks have a RIGHT to shop in their own ‘hoods?
there is no pass/fail.
go there and reject their propaganda.
You will be re-educated comrade or you may have to be sent for “psychological evaluation” and possibly confined to a state run facility for your own good, aka gulag west.
You will be made to care!
Lexington is full of fascist dirt bags.
