The Human Rights Commission in Lexington, Kentucky has a chilling message for Christian business owners who refuse service to LGBT organizations: leave your religion at home.
“It would be safe to do so, yes,” Executive Director Raymond Sexton told me. “Or in this case you can find yourself two years down the road and you’re still involved in a legal battle because you did not do so.”
On Tuesday, a Lexington Human Rights Commission hearing examiner issued a recommended ruling that the owner of a T-shirt company violated a local ordinance against sexual-orientation discrimination. You can read the ruling by clicking here.
“It was a landmark decision,” Sexton said. “This is a very important ruling for us.”
The examiner concluded that Blaine Adamson of Hands On Originals broke the law in 2012 by declining to print shirts promoting the Lexington Pride Festival. The Gay and Lesbian Services Organization subsequently filed a complaint.

Unconstitutional—violates the right to free speech and religious freedom. Even if a court won’t declare it so, it is. Free men MUST resist.
If things are going to get to this point, I will resist. I’m getting old. I don’t care if I could go to jail.
And if a gay or lesbian owned business declined to print leaflets for a street preacher speaking against homosexuality?
A restaurant declined to cater a KKK dinner?
Would that be a problem?
The Commissioner’s name is R. Greg Munson. The order is a tour de force in illogic. Mr. Munson would make a perfect judge.
Christmas Ham LOL! How about this for a Muslim Tee shirt printer
“Jesus Christ is LORD of all and the SON of GOD”
Sexton was the defendant, order to attend reeducation capm. Munson is the ham-fisted government goon.
It’s not coming, it’s here. Was just hearing on the radio how attacks on Christians and Churches has gone up 25% since last year. In America.
Funny how these gays don’t go to Muslim to order their products or services and sue them if they refuse....
Go into a Muslim grocery and ask for pork chops...
Where are the people of Kentucky? Why cant they get off their @sses and make some noise?
How is it that some homos with rainbow flags are able to shout and push their agenda, but supposed straight men cower wondering when some dork in DC will come in and save them?
I don’t seem to hear too much about that whole “separation of church and state” thingy much these days..
He should proclaim he’s a Christian-American; it’s who he is. When/where will this nonsense end? Or will it?
It is clear. 90% of American men are COWARDS.I don’t care what race you are, the people of Kentucky should be smashing the judge’s courtroom! He’s declared war on the 1st Amendment.
Feds rule Muslims can take prayer breaks, refuse to handle pork

Tell that to our Muslim neighbors who managed to get foot baths placed in airport facilities; their children excused from all the many Muslim holidays while in public schools; people with alcohol or any kind of dog (guide dog, for example) kicked out of their taxi cabs and oh, didn’t they succeed in getting bacon removed from some menus and such?
Sounds like they had lawyers that weren’t clever enough. They should have developed a trademark that would be offensive to the queer crowd but not others, and their trademark that had to be printed on all shirts. the queers would exclude themselves...
The Human Rights Commission in Lexington, Kentucky, should try gargling with peanut butter before they speak again.
The comments on that site are over the top. Gay trolls out in full force over there.
“So does that mean I can go to a muslim butcher and demand his finest Christmas ham?”
This argument is getting old. It is not the same. If the Muslim butcher normally sold pork, but refused to sell it to you, you would have a case.(don’t flame me, I support the former right to refuse service at one’s discretion).
That’s a good question. I’d been predicting to a friend of mine that there would be a massive cultural pushback to all this PC-fascism occurring by now. But it hasn’t happened. I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that the current American populace just doesn’t have the grit or backbone it once did throughout its history, and is perfectly comfortable at the prospect of ditching freedoms and becoming toadying, morally-degraded serfs.
