What’s worse? LGBT bullies pirating government power to use politically correct LGBT rights to trump constitutionally enumerated rights, or people with religious convictions evidently not knowing their constitutional rights well enough to protect themselves?
Based on a related thread …
The referenced artists are paying the consequences for evidently not knowing their 14th Amendment (14A) protections.
14th Amendment, Section 1: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States [emphasis added]; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Regardless what pro-gay activist justices and judges want everybody to think about LGBT “constitutional” rights, gay “marriage” for example, the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect such rights. And misguided, low-information state officials are unthinkingly violating Section 1 of 14A, imo, by using PC, constitutionally unprotected gay “rights” to trump constitutionally enumerated rights, the 1st Amendment-protected rights of religious expression and free speech in these cases.
Regarding business owners using 14A to protect themselves from misguided, pro-LGBT state officials and other likewise low-information LGBT supporters, note that Acts 22:23-30 indicates that Paul claimed his rights as a Roman citizen to save himself from being flogged.
The perverts in government interpreting the laws have unlimited taxpayer funds to bankrupt anyone they want and goons with guns to enforce their interpretation.
The bible is not part of the constitution we are living under, as interpreted by our masters.
Do you have any USEFUL practical suggestions?
