RE: These are the kinds of issue the left uses as a distraction to keep the right from coalescing around the existential battle of our time, which is our immigration system and our economic survival.
The forcing of gay and transgender rights on people who do not want to conform to such a life style is not an existential issue?
The stepping on the rights of Christian business folks, forcing them to celebrate such lifestyle under the threat of business closure and fines is not an existential issue?
Making Christian businesses bake cakes is not the same principle. That is essentially forced labor, which is slavery. Private business owners have the right to decide when, how, and for whom they will work.
If you can find me in the Constitution where it says I have the right to keep some mentally ill woman who thinks she’s a man from pooping in the bathroom stall next to mine, I’ll change my mind.
My rights end where the next person’s begin, and the real rights here are the rights of the person who owns the bathroom. They should get to decide, and gov’t should stay out of it.
