Legally protected, institutionalized, bigotry.
This isnāt like fascism, itās not approaching fascism, itās not proto-fascism. This is fascism.
Be nice to hear from actual lawyers on this, as opposed to my layman opinion, but I donāt see how it survives a constitutional challenge as violating the right to liberty and equal protection for gay couples, as per Obergefell v. Hodges.
Is the Catholic Church incapable of learning or are their biases so deep they canāt behave rationally?
The same Church that hounded and imprisoned Galileo for offending their āreligious beliefsā is now hounding same sex couples, again without any evidence of their inherent inferiority to parent children. Good grief!
No wonder many people feel religion no longer speaks to them.
Perhaps if some of these assholes grew up in households with loving gay parents, they wouldnāt be assholes.
Backwater bigotry, on full display.
She has that Pat Robertson āgroupieā look.
āCardinal say: āAll your biases are belong to us.āā
I thought Marsha Blackburn had a patent on that ālook.ā
Itās never spoken to me, but I am required to respect other views. By turning it into a political tool, they completely invalidate any obligation I might have to be tolerant.
All Religious Groups, churches,and such must be taxed!
No more free rides.
Jimmy, the bad news is that the rich lesbian couple in Tulsa canāt adopt you. The good news is that you donāt have to live in Oklahoma.
Two neighbors who were gay adopted a daughter several years ago. Great parents and neighbors. One day I was speaking to one of them about being a parent. Wonderful dad he was. I told him I wish I had him for a dad, and he wished he had a dad like himself too. Sad but also uplifting.
Family-schmamily.
Conservatives are very comfortable with the slave trade business model.
P.S. I hope the federal government isnāt sticking its nose into my religionās business. The last thing it needs is for nosy busy-bodies wondering if my organization is maybe being a wee too nice maybe to you-know-who people. Thanks, Republicans.
The catholic church can discriminate as much as it wants. But that doesnāt mean business enterprises owned by the church, taking state and federal money and offering services to the public, can discriminate.
Makes you wonder what other āspecialā criteria they intend to implement. I sure hope it doesnāt stand up.
As for the veto, at least thereās some kind of brain left in the governor. Otherwise pretty much anyone could open fire in any public place and have a good claim for self-defense.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2012 that juveniles should not be imprisoned for life without the chance for parole except in rare cases.
Oklahomaās desired response - " well then weāll just execute them on the spot."
And the hits just keep on comināā¦
The Family Equality Council, which advocates for LGBTQ families, said the law allows religious groups āto discriminate on the basis of their belief that LGBTQ people should not be raising children.ā
Why did you need to quote the Family Equality Council for this proposition? That is precisely what the law does, and I doubt even the religious groups would quarrel with that analysis. Not everything has to broken down into āSide A says X, and Side B says Y.ā Be a journalist.
When Scott Pruitt was visiting the Vatican having dinner with alleged child buggerer and climate change denier Cardinal Pell Iām sure the Oklahoma law must have been a topic of discussion.
Karl Rove grew up with a loving gay adoptive parent. So Iām guessing assholery might be genetic.
