DENVER (AP) — A U.S. appeals court has ruled against a web designer who didn’t want to create wedding websites for same-sex couples and sued to challenge Colorado’s anti-discrimination law, another twist in a series of court rulings nationwide about whether businesses denying services to LGBTQ people amounts to bias or freedom of speech.

More emboldened Fascism thanks to our new “conservative majority” Supreme Court which won’t make a definitive ruling in such cases and in many cases gives Al Gayda everything they want. Expect much more of this… nationwide.

This stance is quickly becoming the accepted norm, I fear. Another sign of the rotting corpse of our former America.

What do people think this is, a free country? Move somewhere else.

Or fight back.

More importantly, these reprobates are bring the judgment and wrath of the Lord God Almighty on this nation. There is little or no conscience, common sense, or belief in the Lord Jesus Christ in America these days. https://patburt.com/

The Supreme Chickens could have cleared this all up when they decided the CO bakery case, but they chickened out with a narrow ruling that leaves this a mess.

Is there some kind of fine involved? I don’t see how the faggots could sue for damages since she never took the job.
Could a NeoNazi sue a jewish web designer for not making a pro-Hitler website?
Could a Christian sue a fag web designer for not making an anti-gay website?

The Judgement is illogical and the judges should be removed from the bench because they are objectively mentally ill.

To do a crappy job you’d first have to capitulate to the fascists.

Fags and trans people are some of the most nasty people you ever want to cross. They are scorched earth and very anal when they get mad.

Here is the "funny" part.
This website designer violated homosexual "rights" (not found anywhere in the Constitution) but BigTech violates free speech (explicitly stated in the Constitution) DAILY. Our corrupt govt reasons that because they are a private company and do not have to provide a free speech platform.
I'm baffled why the same private company protections don't apply to the website designer (or baker).

Either way they sue you

“Its outside my area of expertise”

“I am no longer making custom items”

“I can do commissioned items, but my prices for such commissioned items are accordingly very, very high”

Yes, and even worse, the Bostock case, in a sickening 6-3 decision, gave sexual deviants a club to use against employers nationwide, meaning that you HAVE to hire an otherwise qualified cross-dressing man to work in your daycare business. Even more sickening, Trump’s nominee Neil Gorsuch wrote the majority opinion.

Leftists are genocidal maniacs.

Modern leftists use the worst methods of all the monsters from their pedigree -- Lenin, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Hitler, Idi Amin, Castro, Che Guevaro, and numerous other leftist mass murderers.

As with those times, places, and monsters, too many people are too hesitant to call a spade a spade.

"It's not that bad, yet."

Take away the fact that the two people claim to be homos, does a person have the right to turn down a job? What if a painter didn’t want to paint a certain portrait? would they be legally compelled to do so?
Why do you even need to give a reason? the person just doesn’t want to do it.

Even after the judgement...The woman still isn’t going to make the website regardless. The case shouldn’t even have gone to trial.

Just wait until they force electrical training websites to state that male to male and female to female plugs will work.

Logic has nothing to do with it. This is about imposing power on an unwilling populace. Hammer down those who publicly object, and the rest will fall in line, or so they think.

Such website design services require the explicit consensual signing of a contract. Is the government now compelling contracts between private parties? Aren’t such contracts nul and void if not entered into consensually?

I'm assuming you are familiar with slavery? Compelling someone to work for you against your will is slavery. I would cite the 13th amendment. Of course it wouldn't work, because the legal system plays "Calvinball" with laws and rules. They would allow such an argument (13th amendment) from a Liberal complaining, but they will likely find someone in contempt and fine them if they advanced such an argument as a conservative.

The best way for any vendor to deal with pervert "weddings" is to do a terrible job and when the perverts complain apologize profusely (of course you won't mean it) and offer them a full refund.

"Terrible job" would mean...photos out of focus...wedding cake has too little sugar or is a horrible color...flowers that are stilted,dying,etc...
