I think the gay marriage issue is settled and saying you’re against it is easy because no political activity will reverse it and is meaningless because corporate elites and the judiciary will block any countermoves to protect the First Amendment rights of those opposed to gay marriage.

What makes gay marriage an awful thing are the First Amendment implications. We have already seen Brendan Eich lose his job as CEO of Mozilla for opposing gay marriage and Atlanta Fire Chief Kevin Cochran losing his job for off the job comments related to his religious faith over homosexuality.

This week the Oregon Commissioner of Labor fined the Christian bakery owners 135-thousand bucks and told them to not speak about the case anymore.

I don’t think the Republicans care a fig about the tyranny being imposed because of how the “Conservative Christian Republican” Governors Mike Pence of Indiana and Asa Hutchinson backed away from religious freedom laws to protect religious people from LGBT attack earlier this year.

Those guys were afraid of the major corporations opposing the religious freedom laws and they backed down plain and simple.

It was settled when Christian marriage was outlawed, by 1975 at the latest.

Certainly no first amendment issue with Eich. The government had nothing to do with him losing his job.
