no one has a “right” to not be liked
The slippery slope of the 14th Amendment , the Civil Rights Act, liberal SCOTUS justices and the destruction of our culture my the media.
Can we find a gay liberal owned farm in NY State and demand they host a Deeply Religious Christian Wedding?
The pendullum goes both ways you know...
No shirt, no shoes, no homo sex.
As mentioned in related threads, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment prohibits the states from making policies which unreasonably abridge the constitutionally enumerated rights of citizens.
And regardless that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect so-called gay “rights,” as a consequence of widespread ignorance as to why the Founding States enumerated certain rights into the Constitution, we’re seeing misguided gay rights activists getting away with wrongly using constitutionally unprotected gay rights to trump constitutionally enumerated protections.
I know where they can shove their feelings.
They should be used to that location.
I really must post that on my Facebook page. That would be a good way to purge “friends”.
One of the best articles I’ve seen on this topic. Logical, and well stated. The part about the lemonade stand, by itself, should be cut and pasted and sent to every gay and lesbian filing these lawsuits.
Most of these cases, if not perhaps all, have been tried in State courts. I am unaware of anybody basing their suit on the federal Constitution. Though I could of course be wrong.
This means the lede reference to the Constitution is irrelevant. Part of our (rapidly disintegrating) federal system is that states can pass and enforce a lot of stupid laws. If they don’t directly contradict the national Constitution, or to a lesser extent disagree with national laws, they’re good to go.
The following groups feelings are also not protected, Whites, Blacks, Asian, Hispanic, Illegal Aliens of every persuasion, dogs, cats, goats, pigs...
Its just too damned bad about how anyone feels about their particular race, group or perversion, don’t tread on me.
We are supposed to be a constitutional free republic, so FEEL this... America Love It Or Leave IT!
Your questions demonstrate perfectly why these issues should be dealt with by the free market.
