Massively important news: The Supreme Court ruled Monday that a landmark civil rights law protects gay and transgender workers from workplace discrimination, handing the movement for L.G.B.T. equality a stunning victory. The vote was 6 to 3, with Justice Neil M. Gorsuch writing the majority opinion. He was joined by Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen G. Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. The case concerned Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employment discrimination based on race, religion, national origin and sex. The question for the justices was whether that last prohibition — discrimination “because of sex”— applies to many millions of gay and transgender workers. It is hard to overstate the magnitude of this decision, and the size of the loss to religious and social conservatives. SCOTUS, the highest legal authority in the land, has declared that homosexuality and transgenderism are like race. If you disagree, you are on the side of Klansmen, in effect. This is not just the opinion of Democratic lawmakers, or columnists at The New York Times. This is now the law of the land. And it became the law of the land thanks to two Republican justices, Roberts and Gorsuch, who were loyal to their class in the clutch.

Yeah basically I will to and think the same. If trump loses and we lose the senate, we might as well put up a sign that says, “we’ll America has died. It was good while it lasted.”

Roberts and Gorsuch are a total and complete disgrace. They both have betrayed their oaths to the Constitution and our country.

They should be impeached.

25 million evangelicals sat out the 2016 election. This is not helping in getting them back to the polls.

How can I expect that Pro-life Justices come from SCOTUS picks by Trump?

My Church school will now have to hire gay transgendered teachers.

Reliance on the Supreme Court is a fool’s game. It will always on net promote the Total State and destruction of the society. Accepting the once novel and nowhere-in-the-Constitution proposition that the USSC is the final arbiter of what is and is not Constitutional was the poison pill swallowed by the nation two centuries ago.

Reading this it seems that the decision is worded to apply to secular institutions and not religious ones.
