This is nothing more than allowing people to impose their religion, and even their own interpretation of their religion, on others. This is not what the Founders had in mind when they wrote the Constitution.
As usual, you're talking out your ass.
It is true some states have made homosexuals a "protected" class. But the jury is totally out on whether a person who deeply held religious beliefs against homosexuality can be compelled to provide any service at all in violation of those beliefs.
While one cannot impose his religion on another under our Constitution, neither can one compel another to violate his own religious principles. The first phrase of the FIRST AMENDMENT is "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;" -- its very position in the Bill of Rights suggests its importance to those who wrote it.
First, they are outlawing establishment, and secondly they are saying that under no circumstances will any law prohibit the free exercise of one's religion. No ifs, ands or buts. It is period, end of story.
If, as part of my religion, I do not believe I should write "Tom & Harry" on top of the wedding cake in icing, then that is THAT.
And you're wrong. Again. |
