Colorado Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Christian Baker’s Appeal on Gay Wedding Cakes
“We all have a right to our personal beliefs, but we do not have a right to impose those beliefs on others and harm them.”
That was from the gay rights team… go figure. It is okay for gay people to force their beliefs on others, but not the other way around.
Why This Local Pharmacist’s Religious Liberty Case Could Go to Supreme Court http://dailysign.al/201D98J @DailySignal
The group, including a Ralph’s Thriftway Pharmacy in Olympia and two other pharmacists, says requiring them to dispense the Plan B drug infringes on their religious beliefs and is equivalent to involving them in abortion.
Their attorney says emergency contraceptives are available at other nearby pharmacies.
In New York, You Could Be Fined $250K for Failing to Use a Transgender Person’s ‘Preferred’ Pronoun http://dailysign.al/1IRoGoh via @kelseyjharkness @DailySignal
Attacking businesses forcing them to accept transgender is the PC attack gay marriage rights people will focus on.
LGBT Activists Fight State Law That Protects Believers Against Gay Marriage
A recent manifestation of this hostility to people of faith is a Dec. 9 lawsuit challenging a North Carolina statute (known as Senate Bill 2) that accommodates state magistrates and clerks whose sincere religious objections prevent them from solemnizing or licensing certain marriages allowed by law.
Only about 5 percent of North Carolina’s roughly 670 magistrates have taken advantage of this accommodation. To date, exactly zero couples have been unable to marry because of this protection.
Attacks on Religious Freedom: Coming Soon to a Church Near You
But first the Court had to contend with a radical, unexpected argument from the federal government. The Obama Justice Department argued not just that Perich’s job did not qualify for the ministerial exception, but that the ministerial exception should be rejected entirely. So, for example, a very liberal jurisdiction such as San Francisco could require the Catholic Church to hire male nuns or female priests, and the church would have no constitutionally valid freedom of religion defense.
Ugh.
“The proposed law defines gender identity as ‘innate identification, appearance, expression, or behavior as either male or female, although the same may not correspond to the individual’s body or gender assigned at birth”
The next battle ground for the LGBT extremists after the supreme court legalized same sex marriage.
Liberals are NEVER satisfied since their rest state is to be miserable. Thus they seek the Big Government to make others feel like they do… miserable.
Office Depot CEO Apologizes for Store’s Refusal to Print Pro-Life Flier
The CEO of Office Depot has apologized for a store’s refusal to print a pro-life flier.
The office supply store received complaints of religious discrimination from customers after its rejection of the flier.
Maria Goldstein, a Roman Catholic, ordered 500 copies of a pro-life flier to be handed out at her parish from an Office Depot in Schaumburg, Illinois.
But the Christian bakers get sued for not wanting to make a gay marriage cake.
In fact Big Government is willing to ruin peoples lives over this.Why not Office Depot then for denying some nuns?
Go figure.
Can You Oppose Gay Marriage and Be a Good Judge? The Chilling Opinion of Ohio Court’s Board
But instead, the Board slandered judges who seek to opt out of marriage ceremonies by saying they would create the appearance of “bias or prejudice” against gays or lesbians and should be disqualified from hearing any cases touching upon sexual orientation. But it simply does not follow that a refusal to accept marriage as a genderless institution indicates a bias or prejudice against gays and lesbians.
Why Little Sisters of the Poor Is Right to Be Concerned About Religious Freedom
It’s worth mentioning two other alternatives available to the Little Sisters: drop their health insurance or pay crushing fines of up to $100 per employee per day.
…
Though the government may believe its accommodation is sufficient to distance religious employers from acts they find morally objectionable, the Little Sisters (and many others) clearly do not agree.
As the Little Sisters explained in a brief filed with the 10th Circuit, the accommodation “merely offers [them] another way to violate their religion.”
This seems so wrong.
Maybe Chief Justice Roberts should reinvent words to help out the sisters.
‘They Don’t Have to Bake a Cake for You’: Baker to His ‘Fellow’ Gays and Lesbians
A cake, Bartholomew said, is a very “personal” aspect of a wedding and shouldn’t involve “force”
And I hope he has a peaceful life as well.
