Whats next??????????

Sure, but what happens if the feds take away the non-profit status of churches that refuse to perform homosexual weddings?

Should the freedom of religion only apply to non-profit organizations?

Must one forfeit one's freedom of conscience to earn a living or run a for-profit business?

Isn't this the kind of thing the first amendment should protect us from?

Or does freedom of religion not apply outside the walls of a government approved non-profit church?

I'm all for gay marriage but feel the same way that forcing them is wrong. Who would want to get married in a church that doesn't want them there in the first place? For how "special" wedding days are why ruin it. I couldn't imagine a the person officiating the wedding would be enthusiastic doing so.

And Christians, Muslims, atheist, republicans and democrats don't do the same? No matter where you look a small sect of any group will try to inject themselves into others daily life. These people are called a***oles and don't usually reflect the entire population.

Nobody is forcing anything in anyone's face against their will.

Supreme Court justices are appointed by the president, the president is appointed by the people (majority), the passing of gay marriage was voted on by Supreme Court justices and the majority won.

That's the system, sorry it didn't go everyone's way. Maybe if it weren't for the screw ups and tunnel vision of so many past politicians on the republican side things would have turned different. The current state of our country isn't something that happened in the last 8 years, the ball has been rolling for a very very long time.

Turn off the tv and social media, and it won't be in your face.

Unless you rent space for special events, earn money as a photographer, caterer, baker, florist, DJ, or officiant of weddings.

Unless you have children in public schools where the combination of "inclusion", "diversity", and Common Core are about to have images of happy homosexual couples and math problems about the family finances of homosexual couples in nearly all the textbooks.

Power pole.lmao
Hell why not. You shouldn't be repressed. It's your right. I'm starting to think my 4wheeler and AR are looking sexy. I see a lasting relationship building. If it's bad to oppress peoples lifestyle and not discriminate I guess I'm going to walmart naked. It's hot and that's what I want to do so that should be ok right?

[wishin i was fishin]

Hmm...

It is a privately owned business no different than the house I own. I own it. You are there because I allow it. If I don't like your blue shirt you'll leave. Any reason I choose as long as I own it. It is not public it is private and you are there because I allow you to be.

As far as your business, you have that right for sure. You can refuse service to anyone you please (people with blue shirts even) as long as it's not discriminating against race or sexual orientation, or religion, or whatever laws you fall under

Your house you can pretty much do what you want because its not a for profit business. If you are running a shop out of your home though, its then a for profit business and falls back into the above category

that will ALL be open for discussion when you are sued.
I would not be surprised if there are no Morris Bart adds asking if you butt hurts over not being taken care of at some business

[duckman1911]

I will glady set them up an appointment though as long as they are willing to wait 8/12 months. Busy busy busy.

[duckman1911]

It falls where I say it falls. Sorry not trying to be a douche but I serve no person I don't want to. The reason why is easy to find. Just too busy or you have on a blue shirt and I don't like it. It's easy to be selective. Once you can marry your dog do I have to allow it? Who cleans up the s hi t when someones husband or wife takes a dump on my office floor?
Sorry but I couldn't resist being a smart azz

This is great.


This isn't quite the case. The things Duck brought up are protected classes.

The same thing people try to sue for (fired for racial reason, not hired because of a particular sex). And yes you can be sued for not serving someone because they are a particular something or other. They just have to prove that was the reason.

All I know is, I wish I was licensed to perform ceremonies and had a venue to rent. There is some money to be made in the first few months of this ruling. Couples who have waited years for this will be rushing to get hitched ASAP.

Ascension Parish granted thier first license yesterday I think

Jefferson the day before. Was a thing I saw on fb so wouldn't swear it's true.
I really have no issue with it as long as people aren't forced to agree with their ideology. I have gay friends and they are great people. We have a mutual understanding that we live different lives. We don't talk about it when we hang out. More fun to talk about how cold the beer is and how good the fish is. When the bedroom door is locked I like things that many view as being strange, odd or just plain F'd up. Then again some people leaving the light on is kinky.
