Supreme Court rejects Kim Davis’ request to reconsider landmark gay marriage ruling

[The Barbarian]

I never said otherwise. Quit projecting. I’m bringing up Church teaching because you keep insinuating it’s a nonissue because Jesus never specifically spoke of the issue of homosexuality.

The Church teaching is that it's a sin to do, but that unjust discrimination against homosexuals is forbidden. Which is what I think. Seems right to me.

My point is that Jesus was specifically emphatic about other sins. Bottom line is that He nowhere suggested that government should be involved in suppressing sin. God neither needs nor wants a government handout.

It's been used by bourgeois perverts with upper-class vices to oppress proletariot cake-bakers and florists.

The courts quite sensibly decided that was not acceptable, just as people forcing their standards on homosexuals is unacceptable.

They're still using it to terrorize small working-class businesses. I think that baker out in Colorado was on like his third case the last I heard.

This issue has destroyed western society more than the civil war and should be nixed. Back into the closet.

Precedent says a private business is not required to approve of anyone's lifestyle.

Not likely...

Over two-thirds of Americans think same-sex marriages should be legal. Americans don't like the government telling them what to do.
