The editorial board of PennLive/The Patriot-News in Harrisburg, Pa. is taking a hardcore stance against those who disagree with the Supreme Court ruling to legalize gay marriage.
“As a result of Friday’s ruling, PennLive/The Patriot-News will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage,” they declared.
After receiving strong pushback, the newspaper’s editorial board, which is overseen by Editorial Page Editor John Micek, quickly revised its policy. Freedom of speech will be allowed — but only for a “limited” period of time.
Micek explained on Twitter: “Clarification: We will not foreclose discussion of the high court’s decision, but arguments that gay marriage is wrong/unnatural are out.”
Before that, there was this: “From the edit: ‘PL/PN will no longer accept, nor will it print, op-Eds and letters to the editor in opposition to same-sex marriage.’ …This is not hard: We would not print racist, sexist or anti-Semitc letters. To that, we add homophobic ones. Pretty simple.”

The pay-per-view of the video evidence that the Establishment has on him would bring in millions of dollars...
So the balanced approach is for arguments that gay marriage is right/natural?
>> democrats will make every effort to jail Christians who defend the bible
They’ll try to first win 2016 then persecute — similar to the way Obama declared marriage is the unity of man and woman, then “evolved.”
As depicted in the excerpt, expect a protracted campaign to suppress the opposing voice, followed by incremental political persecution of Christian organizations over time.
The Left is moving fairly aggressively but not quite fast enough to trigger an adequate response.

If ‘gay’ marriage were right or natural, our species would die out........

Ah, yes, I remember it well.

Of course, these are the same people who will scream bloody murder when their free press rights are violated.
Run over by the irony bus: too stupid to notice.
I think Roberts should be impeached.
The solution? Do our own reporting.
Seems, not by a long shot.
Per the homo ‘marriage’ ruling, they essentially threw out all licensing between the States.
If marriage is so, do it not follow for doctors, lawyers, laymen...and GUNS??
Constitutional Carry should be brought to the courts in every district, as there will be varying decrees, and let the SCOTUS twist again vs. Heller vs. 14th.
Simple solution. Don’t buy the rag and let advertisers know. Most newspapers are already struggling, so help push them over the cliff.
What if people who had subscriptions to this newspaper, and who disagreed with the decision to limit anti-queer marriage op-eds, dropped their subscriptions? What if they did so soon, and vocally?

I’m glad I bought my King James Version of the bible recently. How long before it’s banned as “hate speech”?
No not “pretty simple”. These are not homophobic letters. Phobia implies fear. This is homorepulsion, a natural inborn disgust with the behavior of homosexuals.
