Read this over the holiday and it really pissed me off.
I've often noted that it's never enough just to politely disagree with the totalitarian progressive left.
Anything short of active cheer-leading is unacceptable.
So, here we go again.
It's not acceptable to these folks to have a view that is different. It is not acceptable to them for people to run a private business and choose their clients as is their right. Private businesses are not government services. These facts are incomprehensible to the agitating masses.
Why might this poor woman have to use an artistic license defense to remain true to her Christian values? Because people are afraid to defend Christian values, and do not want traditional values to have any merit. Because people are scared of the tyrannical left, and of the wrath of the "human rights' brigades.
"The Huguenin case demonstrates how advocates of tolerance become
tyrannical."
EXACTLY
"First, a disputed behavior, such as sexual activities
between people of the same sex, is declared so personal and intimate
that government should have no jurisdiction over it. Then, having won
recognition of what Louis Brandeis, a pioneer of the privacy right,
called “the right to be let alone,” some who have benefited from this
achievement assert a right not to let other people alone. It is the
right to coerce anyone who disapproves of the now-protected behavior
into acting as though they approve of it, or at least into not acting on
their disapproval."
"So, in the name of tolerance, government declares intolerable
individuals such as the Huguenins, who disapprove of a certain behavior
but ask only to be let alone in their quiet disapproval."
