WFB: Democratic presidential contender Pete Buttigieg’s public calls for pluralism do not apply to religious small business owners.
South Bend Mayor Buttigieg has made his Episcopalian faith and tolerance a centerpiece of his campaign, but the policies he champions would force religious small business owners to participate in ceremonies they find objectionable under penalty of law. Buttigieg, who is married to a man, will keynote the Human Rights Campaign’s annual dinner. The nation’s largest LGBT lobbying group credited his support for the Equality Act for the invitation.
“Buttigieg is an outspoken advocate of the Equality Act—critically important, bipartisan legislation that would finally provide clear protections against discrimination for LGBTQ people across the country,” HRC said in a Tuesday release.
House Democrats introduced the Equality Act in March. It would strike down religious freedom protections for private citizens if they exercised their consciences in running their own businesses. It is designed to trump Religious Freedom Restoration Acts at the state and federal level, according to critics. Greg Baylor, director of the Center for Religious Schools at the non-profit Alliance Defending Freedom, said he agrees that “our laws should respect the constitutionally guaranteed freedoms of every citizen,” but said the legislation “fails to meet this basic standard.”
“This federal law would force Americans to participate in events and speak messages that violate their core beliefs,” he said. “We should reject laws that single out and punish citizens on the basis of their peacefully expressed beliefs.” more here
Bake the cake and shove it up his ass.
Hey, remember that writer that said people should put shit into Trump supporters’ food? Well, can you be sure, 100% sure, WE won’t take his advice?
I’m just saying. Quit fucking with people’s rights.
Bake the cake right after packing the fudge.
“House Democrats introduced the Equality Act in March. It would strike down religious freedom protections for private citizens if they exercised their consciences in running their own businesses.”
…Muslims exempted, of course…
He may be the current hope but he’ll fade as well. There’s very likely something in his closet that if opened will spawn a touching withdrawal speech. Like a membership in NAMBLA.
“Buttigieg, who is married to a man…”
That is an incorrect statement, even for an Episcopalian. He is no more married to a man in the sight of the Lord than he is a Christian in the sight of the Lord.
…red letters, “Peter”….
4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.’
Matthew 19:4-6
…so this jackass is no more married than he is a President.
And he will NEVER be EITHER…
At first I didn’t care that he was a faggot.
Now I’d like to some of Ilhan’s buddies toss him off a roof.
The Barney Frank / Leo Varadkar sweaty upper lip.
Must be he’sreadity (not ‘her’)
I was an Episcopalian acolyte (alter boy). The parish later learned our priest was gay. He never approached me. I guess he thought I wasn’t good enough for him.
…remember that the Episcopalian church grew from the Anglican Church, that was born because King Henry VIII couldn’t get a divorce from his wife, so he divorced the Church instead.
…and it seems they’ve been WAY lost on sexual matters ever since…
Mr. Butt: take your cake and stick up your namesake.
BFH: make a Mr. Butt ashtray head.
“BFH: make a Mr. Butt ashtray head.”
…it would be an ASStray in THIS case, @Anonymous…
Bake him a “sweet potato” (shit) pie, a la “The Help”.
If I were compelled to bake a cake for fags, they would do well not to eat it.
izlamo delenda est …
It’s not the pink swastikas that he has tattooed to each buttock and penis that I object to- it’s the actual swastikas, green, black, pink whatever the color that I object to.
Mayor Petey Buttplugger is the SortofaManchurian Candidate of the Socialist-Demographic-Reparations-Homosexualists Party. As Senator Daniel Patrick Moynihan warned us in 1993, this country is defining deviancy down and creating moral deregulation. He certainly was ahead of his time with that observation.
The left are on a mission to destroy the US Constitution and to replace God with themselves.
Pound sand Petey and all your little friends.
Buttstuff will also demand that banks stop loaning you money to buy flour and sugar or allow you to process payment.
For people who like to conplain about getting government out of their bedrooms, they sure seem to be inviting government in for a three-way.
But do we have to go down the road ALL THE WAY to national depravity before a majority realizes it’s a mistake? Rome is burning.
This guy has a husband. He butt fucks him. He lets another man inject his mouth with semen. How weird is that? Are we really supposed to take him seriously?
Jimmy, why do you speak in a future possible tense? We’re already there.
Well, since I’m not a gay person, I wouldn’t know how to comply with his laws.
The Episcopalians welcome cisphobic terrorists, who want to hire people to kill those that will not kneel before them.
Our beardy soon to be overlords want to kill those that will not kneel before them.
Seems I’ve got more money left in my pocket with beardy in charge. So… I’m calling myself “a fiscal conservative”. Sorry, Pete. It’s just business.
I’d tell him to go make me a sammich… but there is a pretty good chance that isn’t chocolate pudding under his fingernails.
Which one pitches & which one is the catcher?
@Principal, he’s “married” to his “husband” so that makes him the “wife” and thus the receptacle.
There may come a day when I bake a cake, but today is not that day!
Before his “wedding”, Dirty Peter will walk into a Christian bakery and say: “Do ya feel lucky, punk? Go ahead, bake my cake”.
Homophobic much? FYI, it is the right who claims that the constitution is”just a piece of paper “.
