The Supreme Court hears arguments Monday about whether a conservative Christian business owner has a 1st Amendment right to refuse to work with same-sex couples planning to marry.
In recent years, the Alliance Defending Freedom, an advocacy group based in Arizona, backed a series of lawsuits on behalf of Christians in business who refuse to take any part in gay weddings. They include a baker of wedding cakes, a wedding photographer, a florist and, now, a website designer. She “is willing to create custom websites for anyone, including those who identify as LGBT,” they wrote in their brief, “provided their message does not conflict with her religious views. But she cannot create websites that promote messages contrary to her faith, such as messages that condone violence or promote sexual immorality, abortion, or same-sex marriage.”
Four years ago, the court was divided over a similar case involving a baker of wedding cakes. Shortly before he retired, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy spoke for the court in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case and said the baker and his religious beliefs had been treated unfairly by the state civil rights commission.
Really simple - raise the price to not be competitive with that customer. They'll go elsewhere or they'll overspend.
Well considering it’s against their religion, I believe they have every right to refuse. And why the hell would a gay couple want to force someone to against their beliefs? Just as gays want their rights doesn’t give them the right to force people to go against their beliefs.
Christian shari law is coming
She has rights too! DemocRATs want everyone to be Gay
Christians such as these should hope that the winds of discrimination doesn’t blow on them.
