Umm- seems to me that ambridge is trying to harm the church

Bump

[Bob434]

sorry- meant that the Oregon business is trying to harm the church

Always, always a Christian organisation or business being sued. I don’t believe for a minute that this cr*p isn’t planned, out of anti-Christian hate. That says a whole lot to me. The antichrist is real.

There’s a USSC decision due out any time that will address this exact issue. And determine whether there is any religious freedom left in this country at all.

when is it likely to come out?

Here’s an idea: let’s go back to when queers got beaten up and run out of town just for being queer. No? Then shut the F up, alphabet people. Normal people have heard enough from you.

" . . . those with sincere religious objections to marriage between people of different races, ethnicities . . . "

Straw man argument. What religion prohibits marriage between different races or ethnicities?

I’m guessing there will be a backlash against those pushing a homosexual agenda that will be severe.

Reverse the roles and picture a church denied having an “event” at a gay owned business. There’d be yawns at least but, more likely, outrage that the church asked. It’s always a one way street with the decadent and immoral left.

RE:”In 2015, Ambridge Event Center, which once rented out a space owned by Holy Rosary Church for various events, was compelled to reject an LGBT group's request to hold an event on the property due to the church's “morals clause.”
In a lawsuit filed last week in Multnomah County Circuit Court in Oregon, Ambridge alleged that the church's rules against them hosting the LGBT event caused them harm. They are seeking $2.3 million in damages. “

Which they can get if the Church rents out their space to others

"when is it likely to come out?"

Any day but most likely within a week or two. They've already started to release this term's decisions and they usually wait to release the biggest decisions last.

I'm not sure that case will cover this instance. In the Supreme Court case it's the plaintiffs that were denied service because of their sexual orientation. In this case it's a business suing for damages because the church forced them to turn down clients. This may have to go through the courts on its own.

Let them have the event and post that app proceeds will go towards a clinic that does conversion therapy.

The lesson here is to avoid homosexuals at all cost. They are mentally ill and act out in very harmful ways. I’ve never seen a company run by homosexuals prosper. They always destroy what they touch, just like any other liberal type.

[Bob434]

Thanks, I’ll be watching for that decision- Very important decision

[circlecity]

Good point. Also, the supreme court case involves a gay wedding which differentiates it a bit as in that situation a Christian is forced to facilitate a ritual that violates their deepest held beliefs. Christians used to choose the lions over being forced to do essentially the same thing.
