The court that ok’s this meritless action is an accomplice in the attack on the business.

The article is a word-per-word copy of the 2008 story.

Sorry fag. Your complaint is with God in heaven since He was the one who wrote it.

Actually, he will probably now sue for the lost interest as well.

Question now is, is it even possible to find a federal judge who wouldn’t hand it to him?

I mostly mean people can still consider it a sin according to the teachings of their religion. And it can still be preached from pulpits as of now. Who knows how that will turn out in the near future. - This doesn’t go much beyond free speech and religious teachings, and gays aren’t even required to listen to it.

I think questions concerning bakeries and photographers are different because that involves some degree of participation, more by the photographer than the baker. Then, questions of forced speech come into play with cake decorations (writing on the cake). I don’t think anyone should be required to participate in anyone’s rituals or ceremonies to any degree at all, but who knows what courts will finally decide.

I wouldn’t even be surprised to see Boehner ram a LGBT “reparations” bill through at this point.

1 Cor 6:9 doesn’t refer to homosexuals at least not in the KJV manuscript. It’s a different word.

KJV

Strong's Definition in soft, soft to the touch

metaph. in a bad sense
effeminate
of a catamite
of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man
of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness
of a male prostitute

In its modern usage the term catamite refers to a boy as the passive or receiving partner in anal intercourse with a man. In its ancient usage a catamite (Latin catamitus) was a pubescent boy who was the intimate companion of a young man in ancient Greece and Rome, usually in a pederastic relationship.

Look at 1 Tim 1:10 and you’ll see the real word for sodomite.

Well, I’m all against homosexual verses. That’s why I have a 70 billion dollar lawsuit against The Village People.

In saner times, this guy filing the suit would be in a strait jacket in a mental asylum. What an idiot. His existence causes me emotional distress.

Someone whose intellect I respect is Mark Steyn. He’s just done a piece comparing what’s going on here with events in Germany in 1933 — only THIS TIME it won’t JUST BE THE JEWS!
I’ve been trying to hammer this one home for over a year!
And, friends, it’s JUST STARTING!
THIS IS A MUST READ!!!

The case was heard and dismissed on 9 March 2009.

But I would anticipate very similar cases to be introduced under state anti-discrimination laws in the near future (in some state where being a sodomite is a protected class).
