Still can’t understand why sexual deviance has somehow become a “civil right”

The courts seem to still be protecting speech.

The court has declared that money is speech.

Can we get them to declare that cakes, wedding photos, etc. are also speech?

It is sad that freedom of speech seems to be the legal theory upon which people are winning these cases and will probably the best tool from here on out. They courts are looking for any way to avoid acknowledging the right to free exercise of religion when it conflicts with the homo privileges and memes.

***The owners of the company “are Christians who believe that the Holy Bible is the inspired Word of God and that they should strive to live consistently with its teachings,” the opinion read. As the company’s Web site states: “It is the prerogative of Hands On Originals to refuse any order that would endorse positions that conflict with the convictions of the ownership.” ***

The Holy Bible is God’s inestimable gift to man, as the rule and guide of our faith....

Unfortunately, the LGBT community is embedded in our culture.

We can see ... we know ... they're just waiting .... except the ones that are (all too many, IMO) in our public school systems.

Yeah ... I know ... get cher' kids out of public schools

Not an option to the greater percentage of people

I just can't help but thinking that just the smallest amount of extra-legal activity would bring all this to and end.

I guess that's just the ol' Devil whispering in my ear. :O

The lefties have been trying to force Nelson County into forming one of their Gestapo like “human right commissions”.

Unfortunately the local paper (Kentucky Standard) is a leftist rag that makes opposition to the commission sound like troglodytes who beat up homosexuals in back alleys.

The most recent attempt failed & you should have heard the caterwauling.

But what is of note is that a rural Kentucky county of 50,000 people with a strong Catholic heritage is giving in to the gay gestapo a little at a time. The local government is still advancing the gay agenda one little regulation at a time.

In a free country, business owners should be free to refuse service for any reason. I understand that may mean a homosexual may some day refuse to do business with me for my Christian views, but that is how free people live. We are well past the time where “public accommodation” rules need to be rolled back. I’m not talking about government services of course. The government is specifically prohibited from discriminating on certain factors.

People should read the ignorant comments on that website. Most think that because someone practices an abomination to God - that Christians freedom of speech should be curtailed and they be made to fall in line with their gay agenda. They are so warped in their so-called tolerance. Gay marriage isn’t equal to blacks - a black was born black - and usually, unless these facists thrust their despicable life style in other’s faces - people don’t know they are gay.

Dissolve these unconstitutional Human Rights Commissions. They’re simply tools for tyranny. We already have a human rights commission enshrined in the Constitution. Go to the courts with your complaints. We need to raise the bar, not lower it.

...made a distinction between a company choosing not to print a T-shirt because of the sexual orientation of a potential customer and choosing not to print a T-shirt because of its message.

It seems that this should also follow in cases of making a cake or floral arrangement with the same sort of message. Those who have declined their services did not do so because of the sexual tendencies of the customers, but because of the message involved. The Left will not acknowledge this because it causes them real concerns when Freedom of speech is allowed to even those with a moral compass...

Who would have thought that lawyers would have turned such a disgusting thought into a way to line their pockets?

Freedom of Conscience will win in the end. The question is whether it will win peacefully, but freedom will win.

Does a Muslim T-Shirt printer have to print “Allah is the Devil” T-Shirts?

Almost shocking to see a judge get one right these days

How is printing a message on a t-shirt different than putting statues of two women on top of a wedding cake? In the wedding cake scenario you’re actually expected to deliver the cake to the wedding.

Today Scalia expressed concerns that ministers might have to refuse all marriage ceremonies rather than risk the state’s ire when they refused to perform same sex marriage. They tried to assure him that a religious minister would have the right to refuse on religious objections.

How is a minister different than a baker. Why does the minister get to discriminate based on his beliefs but a baker does not?

I don’t understand this. Why not just take the order, make the shirts and make money?

As an importer, if I go into a Wine shop to sell the account and the Manager has a Gay Pride poster in his office, I am no more endorsing or agreeing with his views if I sell him wine than if he had an NRA poster in his office.

Sometimes I’m left scratching my head with a big fat “who cares?”

Furthermore...

I don’t see how selling him wine undermines my views, or my right to have the views I do.
