Thank you for referencing that article Cyberman. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots, as mentioned in related threads, please note that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect politically correct LGBT “rights.” The only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 19th Amendment.

The 19th Amendment expressly gives the feds the power to strengthen only sex-related voting rights.

So by making vote-winning laws and policies that protect so-called LGBT “rights,” federal officials not only don’t have the constitution authority to make such laws, but both state and federal officials are also unthinkingly effectively violating the Founding State’s prohibition on protected / privileged classes imo, as evidenced by the following constitutional provisions.

• Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States [emphasis added]: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

• Article I, Section 10, Clause 1: No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility [emphases added].

And when misguided, low-information, pro-LGBT state officials use politically correct, constitutionally unprotected LGBT rights to trump constitutionally enumerated protections like 1st Amendment-protected religious expression, then they are also violating Section 1 of the 14th Amendment imo.

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.

And the reason that citizens with religious convictions aren’t using the constitutional provisions referenced above to protect themselves from government harassment is because they probably don’t know that these statutes exist.

Regarding business owners using these statutes 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.

In other words, some “Republicans” are RINO’s.
