The authoritarianism and tyranny of the Left, along with its disdain for Western religion, is on display again, this time in Minnesota where a pair of Christian filmmakers are being threatened by state officials with incarceration if they refuse to make films featuring gays and lesbians.
As reported by CBN News, Carl and Angel Larson, owners of Telescope Media Group, appeared before the federal 8th Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minn., last week to challenge a state law they say unconstitutionally forces them to produce content that contradicts their core religious beliefs.
The couple, which is being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom legal group, said they have already been threatened by state officials with large fines and up to three months in jail if they refuse to comply.
As CBN News notes further:
The Larsens want to enter the wedding industry. However, the state’s Human Rights Act stipulates that if the couple creates films celebrating their Christian beliefs about marriage – that marriage is between one man and one woman – they must also create films about marriage that violate their beliefs, including films promoting same-sex marriages.

Gear up, get organized.

This is clearly unconstitutional.
Sounds like the bakery case. Yikes.
The Gaystapo on the march again.
... and the Lake of Fire is where they’re marching to.
These Romans 1:18-32 people need to repent before it’s too late.

Take to SCOTUS
We’re heading to a Fort Sumter moment.
Don't count on that.
I would figure this would fall under the recent SCOTUS ruling that said the baker didn’t have to bake the gay cake.
There really ought to be a way to fast-track this sort of thing — just have the US Supreme Court reach down through all the levels of lower courts and say, “We see what you’re doing. No need for this to work its way through expensive appeals processes. Stop now. This is unconstitutional. You’re done.”
This anti-discrimination culture has to stop. All have the natural right to discriminate, regardless of reason.
Meanwhile, I bet the MN Moslems would have no trouble locking out homos from their productions.
If faggoty vermin tried to violently terrorize me into producing their propaganda for them, I would bluntly open fire on them as murderous terrorists and have done with it. That’s a simple statement of fact.
The issue here is that every state has a tribunal called a Human Rights commission, which is filled with individuals attempting to ram through leftist social thinking and institutionalize it in each state.
Until these incorrectly named institutions are disbanded and are perceived to be toxic by the US citizens the tribunals will use their powers to dismantle the country.
I suspect that they will hold onto their power until the members of these commissions perceive, as do conservatives across the country, that their safety is at risk to continue along their agenda.
Move to another state. Do other filing to make a living. When NO weddings get filmed, people will pay attention.
I’m hoping that reports of a retirement in January are accurate.
So no one said the movie had to show gays in a positive light, just have them in the movie.
Is this how tyranny of the left become like a horror show? When do the camps open? Who will rescue us?
Don’t count on that.
I consider this life as similar to The Matrix or a computer game. I’m just visiting in this “body” for a very short time. Afterward comes reality. So, although I believe in doing the right thing and I understand that it can be hard (e.g. Jews in Poland starting on September 1, 1939), life is a mist. And I always remember: In a democracy you get the government you deserve. It just sucks to be there when everyone you vote for loses.
