I gotta say, although this puts me at odds with most of the community, but from what I've read, I don't really see that much of a problem with the decision about the marriage websites.

In the issue at question, the business owner was rejecting a message, not a class of people. If a person wanted to buy a wedding website for their straight couple friend, it would have presumably been no problem.

That's a right that owners of expressive businesses *should* have, and it should apply equally to everyone.

For example, an designer should be free to reject any clients who want them to build religion-aligned anti-gay websites.

So long as we can apply the jurisprudence equally (I know, I know), this seems like the right decision for everyone.

@LouisIngenthron What you don't understand is they are following the #antiabortion #playbook nibbling away at LGBTQ rights until they are none left.

@Susan_Larson_TN ...that wasn't the playbook for abortion at all, though. They overturned Roe in one fell swoop, not by nibbling.

@LouisIngenthron Then thanks to your privilege, you weren't really paying attention, were you.

The religious right started nibbling away at abortion rights immediately after Roe was made the law of the land.

@Susan_Larson_TN That's a pretty shitty assumption to make about a person you've never met.
