The Left has won the culture war, and now it's exiling anyone with sympathy for the losing side. Two recent incidents evince a growing trend to try to ban any view on gender or sexuality from public life that is to the Right of the American Civil Liberties Union.
The Federalist Society at Yale Law School recently incurred the wrath of students because it invited Kristen Waggoner to speak. Waggoner is a renowned attorney at a public-interest law firm who was part of a successful Supreme Court case.
Why would a speaking invitation to a successful female attorney trigger the Yale lefties?
Their outrage was stoked because the case Waggoner won was Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, in which her employer, Alliance Defending Freedom, successfully protected Jack Phillips’ freedom of conscience. Phillips wouldn’t create a cake celebrating a same-sex wedding. Working for ADF made Waggoner unfit to speak at Yale, the students argued.
Shortly after this, halfway across the country, the San Antonio City Council approved an expansion of the airport on the condition the airport exclude a Chick-fil-A that was in the original plan. The reason is that Chick-fil-A is deemed guilty of “anti-LGBTQ behavior” because its owners view marriage in the same way it has been viewed for all but the last few of the past few thousand years: as an exclusively heterosexual institution.
These episodes demonstrate the illiberalism and intolerance of the Left, which is now willing to use governmental and institutional power to smash those who don’t agree with it on sexual morality.
Our culture rightly regards some opinions as beyond the bounds of reasonable debate. We’d expect a city to be unwelcoming to a restaurant whose owner funded the Islamic State. We wouldn’t expect Yale Law School to host speakers advocating slavery.

If that is the case, it is CWII?
I think the homosexuals should stop supporting the Democrat Party so that the Democrat Party can show that they love them unconditionally.
If blood is what they want; it would be great to let them drink their own.
The left didn’t ‘win’ the culture war - they placed a lot of unethical judges in the system to legislate from the bench.
They have managed to win in court.
That’s how they have jammed so much down our throats.
American culture may have been imperfect, but when I was growing up it was pretty damned fine. The left ran it into the sewer.
They may call it “winning” but what they’ve won is handfuls of dirt.
That’s okay, because that’s what I want from them, too.
They would kill us if they thought they could accomplish it and get away with it. I can think of no nation on earth that would object to American white conservatives being exterminated.
So it just comes down to “can they pull it off”. So far, they cannot.
They won the culture war alright. They didn’t judge their way into a win. They gained control of the democrat party after 1968. They ruthlessly gained and enforced control over academia, media, and Hollywood. Their universities flooded out K-12 teachers who now turn out a fresh crop of socialist imbeciles every year. They judges came from law schools they already owned.
The judges are the final result of their victory.

I do not agree at all. the culture war is still being decided across our nation.
Just because they say they have won does not make it true.
There is a strong resolve not to accept this new progressive socialism. When the left takes a step to far they will have no problems at all finding out where the guns are. They will be pointed at them.
Remember: The Opera aint over til the Fat Lady sings. Hillary done singin’ and they lost! It will be a long fight—but it will be worth it. Freedom isn’t free.
+ 1 million on that.
The conservative movement isn’t for quitters or cowards. I remember an era when the left was meeting no cultural resistance at all. There was nothing like Liberty University, FR, or the Washington Times. No conservative Supreme Court judges at all.
Yes. They must be literally beaten into submission
