[[I have never understood how the power of law could be used to interfere with a private business’s decision on who to serve]]
Wel it goes to the fact that it’s illegal for a white business to refuse to serve a black person-
Somehow gay people have turned their CHOICE of a sinful lifestyle into an ‘inheritable trait’ (ie: You can not discriminate against black folks because of their genetic traits- but homosexuality is NOT a genetic trait- but they have deceived the world into thinking that homosexuality is due the same protections that being black or indian or Mexican etc are)
The Supreme court dictated NEW law when it deemed gay marriage a right, and this elevated this willful sinful lifestyle CHOICE to the pedestal of inheritable trait, and it’s against the law to discriminate against someone who has an inheritable trait
You are absolutely correct. Every other protected class evolved into a recognized protected class. There was a judicial and a legislative process. This is because hasty laws make bad law. Arbitrarily adding a new protected class without making it adhere to the proper process to ensure it is correct to do so is always a terrible idea.
The real problem behind that is that sexual orientation could never clear the established tests to rise to the level of a protected class. The gay lobby does not lack for talented attorneys and money. Had they been able to make it work the proper way (the same way all the other protected classes had to,) they would have. Instead, they lobbied and manipulated and outright subverted the rule of law to get the result they wanted. Always remember that when people say that it is just about equal rights. Its not and never has been. It is about special rights.
Well, as unpopular as this may sound, I can’t find where the Civil Rights Act (the basis of anti-discrimination laws)is constitutional (at least not as interpreted to enforce these laws).
IOW, if a business owner wanted to refuse service to an ethnic group, constitutionally that should be his prerogative. Now this person may become a pariah in his community, and he should expect no state assistance in enforcing his discrimination...but if its not state sponsored discrimination, I don’t understand what business the state has in it.
To me its like a kindergarten teacher telling Billie he has to play with Suzy, even though he doesn’t like her....and really that silly. The government can’t legislate us all into getting along with each other.
And the slippery slope with these types of rulings is huge. I could see muslim prayer rooms being required at restaurants, as an example.
In all the other cases that have been publicized with the florist and bakers out in Oregon, and the bakers and photographers in Colorado, no one can show they were denied services for anything other than the same-sex wedding. Birthday cakes and cookies have been made by the Christians for these very sad, mentally ill narcissists.
Plenty of alternative businesses are out there, but this was always about shutting it all down for the Bible-believing Christians if they do not 100% comply and celebrate! The gays and lesbians have no intention of eating the cake or using the flowers or standing on the land of Christian “haters.” Out in Oregon, the State actually cleaned out the Christian “haters” bank account to the tune of more $120,000 to pay the fine imposed on hurting some lesbians’ feelings.
If these Christians do not get thee to the re-education camp, which was also State ordered in Colorado and New York, then prison next? Execution? How can such Haters have a right to even draw a breath of air?
