"What will make life easier for them is to accept the fact that there are people in this country who have the right to the same freedoms they do, the right to the same equality under the law that they do. I know that's hard for conservatives to understand because they think Jesus personally wrote the constitution. But ya know what? So be it. It's the law,"

That is pretty close to sit down and shut up and like it.

They say it does. From my understanding, they say it makes them feel as if their marriage is lessened. It's not for you to say they were unaffected.

Passive aggressive acceptance is absolutely being foisted on this country, just like abortion was under roe v wade. Why is it so hard for you to grasp that IMO, these issues are not Constitutional rights?


And on the issue of hateful, bigoted assholes.....the right doesn't have a corner on the market....
"Actor George Takei called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “a clown in blackface sitting there on the Supreme Court.”

In an interview with FOX 10 Phoenix, Takei, best known as Capt. Sulu on “Star Trek,” said Thomas “gets me angry. He doesn’t belong there.”

Wow. Really? He doesn't belong there? So his confirmation process was somehow illegal, immoral, different? This is what I'm talking about. Takei doesn't agree, so Thomas somehow "doesn't belong."

 

We finally agree!

 

And it's all been re-defined, equality is the new buzzword and it will be exploited.

 

No sir.
"An excommunicated Mormon wants to test the limits of a suggestion by Chief Justice John Roberts, who posited that the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on gay marriage could open the door to the legalization of bigamy.

Nathan Collier married his wife, Victoria, 15 years back and also wants to be legally hitched to his second longtime partner Christine.

The Billings, Mont., man found promise in a hypothetical argument Roberts posed in his widely scrutinized dissent to the majority opinion in the Obergefell v. Hodges case, which said same-sex couples have a constitutional right to be married.

“Why wouldn’t the same ‘imposition of this ability’ ... serve to disrespect and subordinate people who find fulfillment in polyamorous relationships,” Roberts pondered in the dissent."

Polygamy, polyamory....the lawsuits are coming.

 

And along the lines of shut up, sit down, and go out of business.....

An Oregon bakery has been fined $135,000 for not baking a wedding cake for a lesbian couple. They got the fine to such a high amount based on the couple's list of associated maladies; "acute loss of confidence,” “doubt,” “excessive sleep,” “felt mentally raped, dirty and shameful,” “high blood pressure,” “impaired digestion,” “loss of appetite,” “migraine headaches,” “pale and sick at home after work,” “resumption of smoking habit,” “shock” “stunned,” “surprise,” “uncertainty,” “weight gain” and “worry." Hell, isn't that just a double dose of menstruation?

Far worse, the couple has been ordered by The Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor and Industries, to "cease and desist from publishing, circulating, issuing or displaying, or causing to be published … any communication to the effect that any of the accommodations … will be refused, withheld from or denied to, or that any discrimination be made against, any person on account of their sexual orientation." This was stemming from a radio appearance the bakery owners made where they discussed their religious beliefs. So now they have been ordered to shut up.

This bakery is in Gresham, Or. Lol. You think there might be a few other bakeries for this couple to choose from? This is why lawsuits will get worse. Because it's really not about accommodating, there are plenty of places to do that, it's about calling out, shaming, suing, forcing acceptance.

 

Of course they are, followed by tiga and his snapping turtles and Ollie and his sheep.
