Lol - now 70 years of the left holding that just about anything is speech will come back to bite them on the azz. They never saw this coming.
A significant blow to slavery advocates - that you are entitled to make someone promote ideas and values they disagree with.
Ok, but that sounds just wrong.
After all, we’re finding out how we can be cancelled from platforms for having the wrong opinion deemed as “offensive” or “hostile”. On “speech” platforms. Yeah, I mean me, too.
Before the COVID nonsense and the endless BLM riots, I thought we were headed towards overturning this “non-discrimination” garbage, which is indeed a violation of the natural right to associate with whom you wish.
“Civil rights” that violate that are not rights.
Still say that is wrong.
It’s your business, you get to do it as you wish. This passive stuff of not allowing, etc, should be everyone’s right. It’s natural. Not to let business punish people who happen by, etc, but simply turn them away - frankly I think that is their right. I don’t care if it’s “public”.
Regarding the whole cake thing, I’ve always held you need to turn the tables. I would fully support homo bakers who didn’t want to make a cake with something, say, mocking homosexuals as in an anti-LGBT group, a church group, whatever. They should not be forced to do so.
They are willing to equate something you cannot control (race at birth) with something fully under one’ control that is sexual proclivity.
Certainly getting married is under a person's control in the United States.
Should a black web designer be able to refuse to design a website for the KKK?
I think it will be amusing, when, in a year or so, the overall numbers of blacks and Hispanics entering colleges and universities doesn’t decrease, but increases...
Finally, it must be emphasized that religions, and those who adhere to religious doctrines, may continue to advocate with utmost, sincere conviction that, by divine precepts, same-sex marriage should not be condoned. The First Amendment ensures that religious organizations and persons are given proper protection as they seek to teach the principles that are so fulfilling and so central to their lives and faiths, and to their own deep aspirations to continue the family structure they have long revered. The same is true of those who oppose same-sex marriage for other reasons.
(Obergefell v. Hodges)
Does the fag brigade want to overturn that decision now?
Did they make an exception for lawyers? because they seem to be able to pick and choose their clients, and they offer no explanation for declining to take a case.
By denying Bible Christians artistic freedom when it offends a class of people based upon how they feel, she effectively is. The problem is, that while one who offers commercial services may not deny such to persons based upon such non-moral aspects as skin color, homosexuality is defined based upon how they feel and thus act immorality.
Sotomayor - If you have ever taken advantage of a public business without being denied service because of who you are, then you have come to enjoy the dignity and freedom that this principle protects,” Sotomayor dissented, also warning the majority’s logic could be applied to justify racial discrimination.There you have it. homosexuality is equaled to race. Yet based upon the premise that how one feels equates to race, then since becoming born again via penitent, effectual; heart-purifying, regenerating faith, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9) results in basic transformative effects in heart and life, and thus acting accordingly, then they also could be equated to race.
This would appear to set free cake makers and bakers who prefer not to make sweets for the alphabet population.
Much Crying over the SCOTUS...
