SCOTUS Gives Pride Month a Proper Send Off

NBC

The Supreme Court on Friday ruled in favor of an evangelical Christian web designer from Colorado who refuses to work on same-sex weddings, dealing a setback to LGBTQ rights.

The justices, divided 6-3 on ideological lines, said that Lorie Smith, as a creative professional, has a free speech right under the Constitution’s First Amendment to refuse to endorse messages she disagrees with. As a result, she cannot be punished under Colorado’s antidiscrimination law for refusing to design websites for gay couples, the court said.

The ruling could allow other owners of similar creative businesses to evade punishment under laws in 29 states that protect LGBTQ rights in public accommodations in some form. The remaining 21 states do not have laws explicitly protecting LGBTQ rights in public accommodations, although some local municipalities do. More

  1. This has been quite a historic week for SCOTUS. As already mentioned; this case, racial preferences in college admissions, and Biden’s student debt end around, but also religious accommodation in the workplace;

    Expect more cries for court-packing and more soapbox speeches from idiots about,”Reaping the whirlwind”.

    Somebody start a gofundme account to buy Clarence Thomas a nutritionist and personal trainer, I want that dude around for a long long time.

  2. A setback for LGBTQMXYTFHJJRDGH rights? How is that? They can always go to a company owned by a Muslim.

    This case had nothing to do with getting a web site done. It was all about pushing a Christian’s face in the mud and holding it there.

    Which is why they did not go to a business owned by a Muslim.

  3. I would say that I am looking forward to American Pride month in July. But this government has squashed that idea. These people have fucked up everything. On purpose.

    There is not much to be proud of.

  4. I don’t understand the thinking of these homos that they have the right to tell an artist or craftsman to create something that is against their beliefs. First, I’m sure if they really wanted a homosexual depiction of I don’t even want to know, there’s gotta be plenty of fag artists that would be happy to do it.

    So that’s not it. What these perverts want is the power to destroy someone who doesn’t bow down to their sickness. Imagine telling a Christian baker to create some fag motif for a cake, fuck that. Things sure have come a long way since, we just want to be able to visit our partners in the hospital, haven’t they?

    Demeaning my art ain’t happening, it’d be like spitting on 55 years of joy.

    They need constant affirmation that their carnal desires are acceptable to the rest of society. They can’t abide any pushback against their pursuit of the lowest of pleasures- Dr. Tar

  5. Laws granting protections to alphabet ‘groups’ are abhorrent to the Constitution. They may have the language and form of a law, but because they isolate and elevate members of a defined group they cannot be laws. All rights are assigned to individuals. The Court is reminding legislatures of this basic fact.

  6. Refuses to work on gay weddings, well whoop-dee-do. Just a little while ago, some on the left thought anyone without a vaccination should be refused healthcare.

  7. I think I need to take a cruise up to quantico for a visit to the USMC museum to get a mega jolt of patriotism.
    It’s nearly a medical procedure to help me get through the next two years.
