The Larsens of St. Cloud are a devoted Christian couple. As part of their faith they revere and promote traditional marriage. They own a video production company and would like to get into the business of documenting weddings, but the Minnesota Human Rights Commission has warned them that they can’t turn down same sex couples if they did. Their company, Telescope Media Group, already lost to a local appeals court and yesterday the Alliance Defending Freedom argued took their objection before the U.S Circuit Court of Appeals 8th District. If that fails they will be seeking to bring their case before the SCOTUS. More

“That’s a nice little Human Rights Act you got there. Be a shame if some high-level Court struck it down as unconstitutional…”

I’ve always liked the suggestion somebody made back when this kind of legal FUBAR first crawled out of the slime. If a gay couple go to a Christian baker, photographer, what-have-you, for contract for service at a “wedding”, the Christians should say, “Why, yes, we can provide that service. You should know before we sign a contract that our religious beliefs differ from yours but being law-abiding people ourselves, we of course would never discriminate against you. However, we will donate every penny we receive from you to the Family Research Council.”
You ain’t seen nothing yet,the attack
on us Christians is just starting.Bible sez
is going to get real bad before it gets better…
Isn’t government involvement in a religious ceremony unconstitutional?
Why are they violating the constitution? What the hell do they know what a marriage is??
A surgeon, or even a doctor, has specialties, and they often will not enter into procedures that are beyond those specialties. Why can’t a photographer have a specialty of heterosexual marriages? To an extent, specialties already exist in photography, for one would not engage one who works in astronomy to film an indoor ceremony. My goodness, let the people practice their craft, and also have the ability to say no. We don’t need stinkin’ laws for this type of thing.
Stop taking our freedoms and give back what you’ve already taken.
the problem is, as I kinda see it, is that States are selectively enforcing freedom of religion. they wouldn’t dare object to muslims refusing service, but will jump all over Christians, Jews, Buddhists refusing service on the basis of their religion … this is obvious discrimination based on religion … but the majority populations of these States will continue to support such nonsense
answer? … simple … someone needs to organize a legal team to go from state to state where they have such Orwellian ‘Human Rights Commissions’, go to muslim places of business, demand services they refuse on basis of their religion & sue, just like the homos
it’s called a firewall … or fighting fire w/ fire

Throwing money at the feet of The Party, beseeching them to throw shade at The Party?
That’s called “fighting butt hurt with bad feelz.”
@Anony ~ never mentioned ‘throwing money at the feet of the Party’ .. whatever that means
maybe I should’ve clarified, ‘somebody’ … such as ‘somebody that fights like Trump’ needs to organize a legal team … ‘
sorry you didn’t comprehend … my bad
