Supreme Court: Should a web designer be able refuse to service because their religion disagrees with gay marriage?

You can refuse to put a swastika on the cake, claiming that your business does not sell "swastika cakes". Also, note that Nazis do not belong to a protected category, so probably you could also refuse the service altogether.

^^ LOL! Tell me you know absolutely nothing about religion without telling me you know absolutely nothing about religion.

Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all come out of the same book. The book is pretty clear. In a bunch of different places.

Leviticus 20:13
"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them."

You don't have to agree with it but it's pure ignorance to pretend it isn't in there.

This is a compelled speech case under the first amendment. The link below has a good summary of the big USC opinions on compelled speech.

The most relevant case is the parade case where the court held that a St. Patrick's Day parade could not be forced to accept LGBTQ participants and their message.

It is pretty fun to see right wingers getting all bent out of shape about the prospect of a website developer having to do a gay wedding website when the same right wingers are blowing up about the idea of any sort of content moderation on twitter as violating free speech. Having the government force a social media company to allow white supremacists or anti-trans activists to be able to use a social media website isn't that far off from forcing a web designer to make a wedding website for a gay couple.

Compelled Speech

The compelled speech doctrine sets out that the First Amendment prevents the government from punishing a person for refusing to articulate or adhere to its messages.

It is pretty fun to see the mental gymnastics left wingers have to do to convince themselves that Twitter banning the New York Post for posting a legitimate news story is a good thing.

Conservatives are so desperate to go back to the good ol' days when businesses could put up signs that said "WHITES ONLY."

Private organizations should be allowed to refuse service to anyone for any reason.
They should also accept any judgement that comes with such actions. And as a society we shouldn’t tolerate intolerance. Not everything is the governments job to enforce.

Democrats put up those signs...

Democrats made the Jim Crow laws.

I promise you. No decent people want to live anywhere Democrats behave like Democrats unchecked by Republicans.

How big is California's historic budget, visualized

Erica Yee

Where does the historic California budget rank compared to previous budgets, and just how big is $300 billion?

Link:calmatters.org/politics/2022/06/califo...

Now link the article about California's $25 billion budget deficit caused by businesses fleeing the state.

California was the largest economy in the US LONG before it turned blue.

Democrats are destroying it.

Yes you could refuse service, but I think they could sue you for discrimination if they really wanted to.

And yet, only Republicans are advocating for legal theories that would allow businesses to put up "WHITES ONLY" signs. Stop deflecting and be direct. Do you think businesses should be allowed to discriminate based on race? Yes or no?

It's amusing that you don't realize the only people publicly discriminating based on race in America are liberals.

When a college slaps a "blacks only" sign on the dormitory liberals everywhere declare it to be "brave and beautiful".

When a business slaps a "whites only" sign in the window everyone agrees the owner must be an idiot and the business folds.

Really? If you are a restaurant or Walmart the government can't say you have to provide service to people who are black, female, or disabled?

Twitter is a private organization. What now?

What's amusing is that you can't seem to answer a simple yes or no question. I'll take your continued efforts to deflect as confirmation that you believe businesses should be allowed to put up 'WHITES ONLY' signs. So, basically, you think Jim Crow is bad and an invention of "the Democrats," but you wouldn't object if it were brought back into existence. Hmmmm.

I don't think the government should be in the segregation business. That's a Democrat thing. You did it before and you're doing it again on college campuses. Affirmative action is openly discriminatory by race. You LOVE racial discrimination. I've never supported any of it.

There's more nuance to this than you realize. (remember how stupid you are)
