So then you believe and would support as a matter of law, language in any Court Ruling on this topic when it makes it to SCOTUS in the next year or two, that gay graphic artists would have to be forced to print "homosexuality is an abomination and a mortal sin, forbidden by the teachings of Jesus Christ in the New Testament" for a busy highway billboard, or they could be fined or gagged, or sued into the poorhouse by Christians?If I opened a printing business, I would expect to have all kinds of customers. If I had a rule, it would apply to all people equally. That is not discriminating.
OK, anyone else agree with Chris?
No, where do you see this happening. If I have a rule for my business, it would apply to everyone equally. I wouldn't single out one group or another. If I had a rule against hate speech, it would be hate speech from anyone, not one particular group or another. Therefore, not discrimination.
Christan New Testament teachings aren't "hate speech"...but I see where your cult is going with that. If you can deem Christians' objections to your cult's teachings "hate speech" then you can gag Christian's civil rights. Civil rights aren't dominant one over the other. The 9th Amendment makes that clear. Christians however have been in this country since day one as a religion. Deviant sex cultists only organized as a religion maybe as far back as the 1960s?
The Christian faith believes and embraces Jude 1 and Romans 1. You don't have any more right to tell a Christian to commit that mortal sin than they do to tell you to print a billboard for a busy highway that says "homosexuality is a sin unto God" So the 9th Amendment tells us that if one civil right can force another civil right to "play along or else"...then a Christian can sue a homosexual graphic artist for failing to print "homosexuality is a sin unto God" for a big public sign/display.
We are talking about two belief systems here. Not "a race" vs Christians. And in the US, all are on equal footing with equal access to equal litigation priveleges.
