1. Homosexuals are .5 - 1.5% of the population.
2. Homosexuality, bisexuality and asexuality are CHOICES.

Question: why are we BOTHERING with them?

Because the liberals are using it as a mode to destroy our society.

As one New Mexico justice ominously noted, Jonathan and Elaine Huguenin “are compelled by law to compromise the very religious beliefs that inspire their lives.”

compelled by law = tyranny

I would say that the 10th Amendment prevents SCOTUS from being able to overturn the decision since this was done in a state court and not a federal one. Citizens of NM should petition to put this on the ballot and either have the law repealed or something the protects you from being forced to participate in something that violates your religious beliefs.

The only reason why I would “bother” with them is that they seem to be able to use the media to force their acceptance on everyone else. We need to defend our freedoms without prejudice.

That’s not a reason; it’s only a vent. Way too general to be anything other than a vent.

The SCOTUS has already decided that the US Constitution doesn’t govern, so all bets are off on any issue, along with the moral need to comply with their “rulings”.

When parents don’t make sure that their children are taught the Constitution as the Founding States had intended for it to be understood, then anything can trump the Constitution imo.

The left is doing the bidding of their ideological father
and using homos as the spearpoint in the quest to criminalize Christianity.

Answer: Yes, homosexual “rights” trump all else, regardless of U.S. Constitution!

We the 98.5% mostly don’t bother with the faggies or how they abuse their bodily plumbing.

But the faggies are IN OUR FACE and are empowered by the government to be that way.

And that’s a problem.

You got that right.
One CAN always disobey a law. So many small time lawbreakers don't get caught. There are simply too many of them and our thin blue line, for the most part, can't be bothered with the small fish.
Please, no lecture on the police.

One can turn off the media. Their strength lies in not getting turned off and getting WAY too much attention by people like us FReepers.
I don't think the media are going to change. Nothing we say or do here will change them. They say and do what they want, hiding behind the Constitution. The very WORST thing that can be done to them is to ignore them.

Just an opinion.

For a Christian photography being forced to sell a wedding product for gay weddings is the same as a Muslims butcher being forced to sell pork...

There are business that choose to sell or not to sell a produce. So is this service a product?

Well that same gay person could come in and buy wedding photo services for a heterosexual marriage and it would be provided.

And a straight person could come in and try to buy services for a gay marriage and be denied.

So it is not the customer being discriminated against..

It is the requested product is not sold.

Is a Christian photography also required to due a nudity wedding?..or pornografic photo?

Is a Black business require to produce products for KKK or NAZI consumption?

I reread “I’m No Hero”by Charlie Plumb; and “when Hell was in Session” by the late US Senator Jeremiah A Denton Jr.; and “In the Presence of Mine enemies” ; and With God in a PO W Camp—and I am convinced Our American Government is a more perfect reflection of the Communist —than it reflects the
Founders Constitutional system. Our American held POW were more like the Revolutionary War Patriot than Most Americans today. The POW resisted and insisted they be allowed a Bible, and be allowed to free exercise of their religion.The V said (Much like our current system does)—that the POW could already worship God -they just could not do it except by the rules of the Communists. At Patrick AirForce Base the commander has waved the white flag and removed the Missing Man Table display -—because it includes the Bible .The POW I have spoken to—and have read their story have suggested that when they were denied a Bible they resisted and they fasted— and the V gave in. Allowed the Bible for two days many prisoners just wanted to touch its open pages,atheists were first in line.When the enemy destroyed the simple crosses made from bamboo—the POW created more.When the POW were cursed, and beat—and tortured because they would sing Christian hymns.Or recite from their memory Bible verses.The American POW continued to resist.But in America today—where is the resistance?
In America today we have allowed Gay Rights and Government
decree to trump the most cherished -most fundamental Right recognized by our nations founders. WHY? t makes no sense to me.

Because the majority of the justices on the SCOTUS are Catholic, and the Catholic church is very accommodating of homosexuals.

Ask any altar boy.

This is all being coordinated by the regime.
