In his dissent from the Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which declared that same-sex marriage is a right, Justice Samuel Alito said the court had falsely likened opposition to same-sex marriage to racism and that its decision “will be used to vilify Americans unwilling to assent to the new orthodoxy.” […]
“I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools,” Alito wrote. …

Jefferson’s warning about the Constitution being turned into “a thing of wax in the hands of the judiciary” has become far more poignant.
It’s already happening.
Yeah, I was just about to post the same thing.
““I assume that those who cling to old beliefs will be able to whisper their thoughts in the recesses of their homes, but if they repeat those views in public, they will risk being labeled as bigots and treated as such by governments, employers, and schools,” Alito wrote. …”
That’s already begun.
risk, no, guaranteed, yes
...with total societal failure being the objective....
for some there is an upside.... multiple wives legitimized.... just like in the advanced islamic third world nations!
Obviously
Obama has a great point in mind, and he is achieving his indonesian paradise.
We’ll still be bigots with any stand we take.
So....
I’m going with polygamy, Mormon style. Nothing stop me now, no shame in it whatsoever.
‘for some there is an upside’

This is another argument for Christians to rise up now to fight this tyranny while they still can. Every day there is a new affront, a new regulation, a new restriction from our unitary government. Soon, the chains will become too tight, and the populace too cowed and fragmented to do anything and then a full dictatorial state will have removed the last breath of freedom from the land.
Actually Obama has stepped in it big time. In some Muslim nations homosexuality brings the Death penalty. We have millions of Muslims here. Many will be radicalized by this decision. We have a world of hurt coming our way.
Yep.
But.....but....but.......justice kennedy said in his ruling that churches and people of faith were not going to be persecuted! /MASSIVE SARC
Unintended consequences await.
Christains and the clergy need to stand united against this because the churches are the next target. One of Hillary’s aides would not rule out eliminating the tax exemption of churches. So it is clear that if she becomes the next ruler, churches will be targeted. And since the gays were successful in intimidating bakers and florists, what is to stop them from marching into a church and demand to be married in a full church service or mass?
Sin is evil. It is an intruder that Satan brought into God's Creation. When our first parents were infected with it, it brought death, disease, and hatred in its wake. Due to the Fall, we are all sinners - saved solely through the Grace of God and shed blood of our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. But we should still maintain a hatred, and 'bigotry', against sin. Every dying, or sick, loved one (or stranger) is a reminder of the fruit of sin.
What! Why gays have said their marriage won’t impact heterosexuals....they lie then!!
This country has very few Christians like these...
"We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus!"
- John Adams and John Hancock (April 18, 1775)
For many, even those who call themselves "christian", they don't mind the chains of tyranny as long as it doesn't interfere with their life and toys...
I will now be self-indenifying myself as a non-practicing muslim. I can’t be classified as a bigot. /sarc maybe
