This is about compelled speech. The Colorado Commies are trying to FORCE certain speech on people.
She is not denying anybody service. She’s not denying anybody because they are in this or that “protected class” (which should not exist anyway but that’s another matter). She’s saying she will happily do business with anybody BUT there are certain messages she will not do if they clash with her beliefs. She’s perfectly within her rights to refuse. The law here is blatantly unconstitutional.
Should for example, Jewish Website designers be required to design and build a website for the American Nazi Party if it comes to them? Under the Colorado law, they would be required to do so.
The 1st amendment is a total bar against compelled speech.
I’ve argued the same examples and completely agree with you.
The gaystapo is just a little less tolerant than others.
Remember when the claim was “gay marriage doesn’t affect you, so why do you care?”.
Heard a Catholic woman on talk radio argue that they shouldn’t get to be married. Call it a partnership or whatever but not marriage. Give them the same rights as a marriage, just don’t use the name marriage.
Good point. Thank you.
That’s still a slippery slope.
