    Default Federal Court Strikes a Powerful Blow for Free Speech and Religious Freedom

    The LGBT Gaystapo loses again, as the Federal 8th Court of Appeals has upheld the absolute right for Americans to not be forced to choose between their religion and their business, overruling a previous Federal District Court ruling that guaranteed the same Constitutional protections for a Minnesota couple who seek to produce wedding videos, to not e forced to participate in gay weddings, as it is against their religious views.

    BRAVO! If people want a same-sex marriage, that is THEIR BUSINESS, but they DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO FORCE IT UPON OTHER PEOPLE. Find a videographer who does not care.... it's called "FREEDOM"....


    Federal Court Strikes a Powerful Blow for Free Speech and Religious Freedom



    Earlier today, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the constitutional order, limited the reach of expansive nondiscrimination laws, and protected a Christian couple from having to choose between their business and their conscience.

    The facts of the case are simple. The plaintiffs, Carl and Angel Larsen, are videographers who create “commercials, short films, and live-event productions.” While they work with anyone of any race, sex, sexual orientation, or religion, they will not produce videos that advance viewpoints that violate their Christian beliefs. That includes videos that “contradict biblical truth; promote sexual immorality; support the destruction of unborn children; promote racism or racial division; incite violence; degrade women; or promote any conception of marriage other than as a lifelong institution between one man and one woman.”

    ~One of the key constitutional questions of our time is whether the First Amendment will retain its supremacy and potency even as nondiscrimination rules and regulations expand in scope and reach. In this case, the Eight Circuit answered answered with an emphatic “Yes,” and it did so through a majority opinion that provided a clear roadmap for future courts and future controversies.

    There's not much freedom left when someone's right not to be forced to film two faggots sodomizing each other hangs on a thread of a circuit court ruling. Neocon faggots see more danger to our freedom from imaginary WMDs in the middle-east than from fascist liberals in America.

    Any business that discriminates should have to put a huge sign in their windows showing who they will refuse to serve. There is no reason people should go to a business and get refused service. They should know before they enter. The owners should be proud of their hate and bigotry. They think they are right, so they should own it.

    You stupid fcking faggot, Gonzomin, these businesses serve everyone. They just don't sell everything. Why the fck do you think Taco Bell should put a sign on the Window of all the foods they don't sell? You are so fcking stupid.

    No they don't. Their RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IS ASSUMED...as it is GUARANTEED IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT.

    The LGBT GAYSTAPO ATTACK SQUAD doesn't respect ANYONE ELSE'S FREEDOMS...just their own...and they GOT THEIR ASSES HANDED TO THEM...AGAIN.

    It is not hate. It is not bigotry. It is simply against the religious views.

    Why do you hate?
